With CalDAV you can store your calendars on Runbox’ servers using calendar apps on your computer or smart phone.

To use Runbox CalDAV, set up a new account in your Calendar client with your Runbox username and password and dav.runbox.com as Server Address.

Note: It is currently not possible to share calendars with other people, or publish them publicly.

Below you will find setup instructions for recommended calendar clients.

macOS Calendar

  1. Go to Calendar > Add Account… > Add CalDAV Account…

DAVx⁵

DAVx⁵ is an app for Android phones that helps you sync your contacts and calendars between your phone and services like Runbox. 

Important: Make sure to use Runbox 7.  

  1. Base URL: This is the web address where DAVx⁵ can find your Runbox account. For Runbox, it’s https://dav.runbox.com/.
  2. Username: This is your full Runbox email address (e.g., yourname@runbox.com).
  3. Password: Use your Runbox account password. We recommend creating an app-specific password (a special password just for DAVx⁵). You can do this in your Runbox 7 account settings under Security > App Passwords.
  4. Contact group method: groups are per-contact categories. DAVx⁵ will organize your contacts. Runbox uses categories for each contact (like tags), so if you group contacts in Runbox, DAVx⁵ will show them the same way.
