Step 1 was "launch from a clean state — the permission screen must appear", which cannot happen on the path most people are now on. Since 1.0.0 the app owns its store: with no OpenTasks or tasks.org installed, `autoMode()` resolves to OWN, there is no permission to grant, and the app goes straight to the task list. A gate that never appears is a checklist item that either gets ignored or gets read as a failure. Verified against this branch on a Pixel 10 (API 37): the releaseTest APK installs, cold-starts in 549 ms with an empty crash buffer, and lands on the task list with nothing granted. The checklist now splits by what is installed, because the two paths verify different things — and the provider path is where the new copy flow lives, so it says to exercise it rather than leaving "the release's headline changes" to stand in for it. A fresh install in OWN mode also has no lists at all, which makes "create a task" impossible until you create one, so that is a step now. The script's actions are unchanged: revoking both permission sets is still right for the provider path, and revoking POST_NOTIFICATIONS still forces the reminder onboarding either way.
Agendula
A modern Material 3 Expressive task app for Android.
Keeps your tasks on your device, or on top of a tasks provider you already use.
Open standards, no account required.
Agendula is the task-list sibling to Calendula.
Where Calendula is a pure front-end over Android's CalendarContract, Agendula
keeps its own store, designed around RFC 5545's VTODO — the same tasks DAVx5
(and SmoothSync, DecSync, …) sync out of your CalDAV server. It can also read and
write a tasks provider you already have, for anyone already syncing that way.
The name rhymes with its sibling on purpose: Agendula is agenda — Latin for
“things to be done” — given Calendula's -ula ending. Calendula keeps your days;
Agendula keeps your to-dos. (A Calendula flower head is botanically a cluster of
many small florets — so the two apps are florets of one bloom.)
Where your tasks live — your choice
| Where | Sync | Needs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| On your device (default) | Agendula's own database | none yet — CalDAV sync of our own is planned | nothing. No account, no permissions, no other app |
| In a provider you already use | OpenTasks or tasks.org | whatever syncs it for you — DAVx5 and friends | that app installed, and its read/write permission |
Agendula's own store is an ordinary app database — nothing is published to other apps, so there is no authority to clash over and no permission to grant. It coexists with OpenTasks rather than replacing it: installing one never breaks the other, and if you already sync through a provider, that keeps working exactly as it did.
Switching between the two moves nothing — each store keeps its own tasks — so Settings → Storage asks before it switches, and offers to copy a provider's tasks into Agendula's own store when you want to move over. The copy is taken once and the originals stay where they are; it is not an ongoing sync in either direction.
Recurring tasks are expanded per RFC 5545, and everything the schema does not model is round-tripped verbatim rather than dropped — so passing your tasks through Agendula does not quietly lose fields a server sent.
Your tasks are exportable as standard iCalendar .ics files at any time, because
data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
Status: backend complete, UI catching up. Storage, reads and writes, smart-list filtering, a self-scheduled reminder engine, and export are built and unit-tested. The Material 3 Expressive screens are being built on top, one at a time — the storage-mode picker and export screen are not there yet. See
docs/ROADMAP.mdfor status,docs/ARCHITECTURE.mdfor how it's built, anddocs/STORAGE-AND-SYNC.mdfor why storage works the way it does.
Sync sources (by design)
In external-provider mode Agendula works with anything that writes to that provider — DAVx5 (CalDAV), SmoothSync, CalDAV-Sync, DecSync CC, or any Android sync adapter — because it builds on the provider, not on any one sync app. Google Tasks / Microsoft To Do are out of scope by design (proprietary; they would mean owning a sync stack). Open standards — CalDAV / iCalendar / DecSync — are the lane.
Translations
Agendula ships in English so far, and would like not to. Translations are managed on a self-hosted Weblate, and partial ones are fine — an untranslated string simply falls back to English.
No coding needed: register on the Weblate server, pick (or request) a language, and translate the strings in your browser. You can also reach this link in the app from the top of Settings → App language.
