The document was written against the vendored provider and still said the storage question was settled that way. Owning the store answered several of its open questions and deleted others outright, so the corrections are marked inline the way the rest of the file marks them, rather than quietly rewritten. Closed: the Local->Synced migration (account_id is a nullable FK, so attaching an account is an UPDATE), the recurring-completion model (the store writes model (a), RECURRENCE-ID overrides sharing the master's UID), the Auto Backup / cleanUpLists data-loss path, and the lib-recur version trap. Phase 0's UIDs-at-creation and backup safety are shipped. The provider-mechanism table is kept as External-mode history rather than deleted — that code still runs in OpenTasks and tasks.org. Effort restated: 11.5-15 weeks minus the 2.5-4 owning the store removes, so roughly 8-11. Also states plainly at the top that no sync code exists and that ICalendarWriter is the export half of the mapper only.
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.
