Vikunja and iOS (alien.top)

I love Vikunja, it's an amazing webapp, but it always requires connection to the server in order to use it. Is there anyone using Vikunja with iOS offline? CalDav doesn't seem to work or sync properly with reminders app or calendar.

Read-only would work for me all things considered...

Yes, it's really a shame, it's an awesome project, but they would really need someone who is integrating a better CalDAV library.

    I didn’t think that iOS was working at all?

    It doesn't, but you can just go to the webapp if you can access the server which is fine on iOS.

    But when you can't access the server... then you can't see your tasks at all. So I'm looking for solutions.

    Maybe like using an intermediate caldav server or something?

    I see. I really want to use Vikjuna. If you're mostly going to use native clients, you could swap out for a CalDAV server (NextCloud, Radicale or Baikal)?

    I mean, I don't really care about anything but the tasks being available offline (doesn't need to be interactable either) and updates when I do have connection is great. So any solution besides printing out the webapp each time would be awesome.

    I'm not really familiar with caldav servers, but if I can sync vikunja to one and then sync that down to reminders app in iOS or some other similar app I'd be game. But it seems like it doesn't exist atm.

    That's exactly what CalDAV servers allow. The easiest to set up is probably Baikal, but Radicale/NextCloud are also good options.

    The built-in iOS/macOS Reminders.app supports CalDAV for calendars and tasks. Everything is available offline, you can add/edit/delete events and tasks, and it will sync back to the server when you are online again.

    This is what Vikunja should allow, but sadly their CalDAV implementation is broken.
