RFC 6578 as an optimisation on top of chunk 3's full path, and sync that runs by itself. - :caldav gains sync-collection, with invalidation matched on DAV:valid-sync-token in the body on any 4xx rather than on a status code — 400, 403, 409 and 412 are all used in the wild, and matching the status is why Thunderbird never recovers from sabre's 403. No DAV:limit (Nextcloud regressed it to an HTML error page); 507 on our own href is truncation. - The engine persists the token per page, after the bodies. An iteration cap and a no-progress guard, since the RFC never requires the token to advance. The full path runs anyway every 24h: a token the server accepts over a pruned change log returns 207, zero changes and no error, and the protocol gives no other way to notice. - The three membership traps: an unknown removed href is a no-op, a delete-then-recreate is re-identified from the UID in the body, and a mass removal is refused in favour of a real listing, because ACL churn looks exactly like one. - Scheduling is a PeriodicWorkRequest with a network constraint, expedited only for the in-app button. getForegroundInfo is implemented unconditionally (setExpedited falls back to a foreground service below API 31 and the default throws) but declares no service type, which would have pulled back the Android 15 dataSync budget and a Play video-demo requirement. initialIncomplete turned out not to be needed: adopting a token only after a full reconciliation completes removes the hazard it guarded, so there is nothing to persist atomically with anything. /code-review high raised 8 findings, all fixed. The two that mattered: the cadence clock sat in the backed-up DataStore, so a restore would have made the engine trust a stale token for a day — both sync-state stores now have their own excluded file; and the incremental download path lacked the write-phase guard, overwriting local edits that had never reached the server. Reasoning in docs/SYNC-PLAN.md. Chunk 2's on-device review is still outstanding; none of this has run on a device or against a real server.
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.
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.
