Expose a server
Compatible clients can connect into TapTidy directly when you want your task system to be the source they talk to.
Feature
A task manager that syncs through open standards, not another closed system.
TapTidy operates as a CalDAV server and a CalDAV client. Your tasks connect to compatible tools. No extra bridge service is necessary.
CalDAV is part of TapTidy Pro.
Connect outward
TapTidy can also connect outward as a client. This makes sync more flexible than a proprietary-only product.
Keep portability
Open standards keep your exit paths open. You keep your options when other products become more closed.
Why it matters
Most task apps treat sync as a convenience. CalDAV also keeps you in control.
When a product only supports its own cloud, the switching cost rises over time. A standards-based sync layer gives you more room to keep using the tools and workflows that already fit the rest of your stack.
Useful for mixed-device households
Open sync is especially useful when the household or team is not living inside one vendor's platform boundaries.
Useful for long-term portability
The value often appears later. You keep options open. You do not discover too late that every workflow depends on one closed service.
