Secure, end-to-end encrypted, and privacy respecting sync for your contacts, calendars and tasks.

Easy to use and open source - it seamlessly integrates with your existing apps so you won't even notice you are using it!

Let me +1 for this! I was about to post a new request and I'm glad that I found it here.
Etesync is end-to-end encrypted contact and calendar, which support multi-device. It's also listed on privacytools.io.

Looks like it's a security focused clone of DAVx?? Or is it coincidental that the UI's are the same?

[yusf]

What’s the difference to SOGo?

That is because both are using material ui as the ui framework.

[murgero]

@fbartels I know what the UI framework is, most android apps use Material Design (a lot of my own Android apps do). However the layout of said UI is almost exactly the same as DAVx.

That being said, I found the etesync source, and it is based of DAVDroid (Recently renamed to DAVx).

@yusf This seems to be just another CardDAV/CalDAV/etcDAV sync server - it's functions should be identical to SOGo's DAV server.

@murgero I believe the main difference is that Etesync is end-to-end encrypted, wheres as Sogo and Radicale, etc. are not. This makes it a really attractive option to me.

@bellinom How though, if still compatible with existing apps? End-to-end means client-side encryption, so existing apps would need to support this feature specifically, no? I don't understand.

[necrevistonnezr]

@yusf There are dedicated apps for Android and a web app as well as a desktop DAV bridge for Linux / Apple / Windows. An iOS App is announced.

[yusf]

@necrevistonnezr So what about

it seamlessly integrates with your existing apps

[necrevistonnezr]

@yusf I guess they are talking about the DAV-bridge, but I'm not sure....

[murgero]

@yusf DAV is an open protocol, so I'd assume that they mean DAV enabled applications (Calendar, Contacts, Web(File), etc)

has been changed to

Our app seamlessly integrates with your existing apps so you won't even notice you are using it.

on the website, which clears up my confusion. It seems like their app scrambles the data server-side, similar to third-party (client-side) Dropbox file encryption addons, but then you're bound to using their app to access the data.
