Frequently asked questions Do family members see each other's calendars? Yes. Radicale has one shared login, so everyone sees every calendar and address book. On their phone, each person chooses which ones to show. Can I reach it away from home? Yes. The box made it reachable on calendar.tester4.test, so your phone syncs from anywhere with the name and the password. I made a calendar, but it is not on my phone. Why? The phone does not always turn a new calendar on by itself. Open the account in the sync app, refresh the list of calendars and turn the new one on. Can I keep a task list too? Yes. For a new collection, choose „Tasks” or „Calendar and tasks” in the „Type:” list. On the phone, a task app that speaks CalDAV shows it. What happens if I delete a calendar? The calendar and all its events are gone for good, from the phones too. If you are unsure, first save a copy to your computer with the download sign under the calendar.
