Do you need one app for syncing caldav and another app for using the calendar?
Comment on How to use Radicale with iOS

That’s actually easier than on android, we need a caldav sync provider app.

Yeah, on Android you use DAV5x or something for syncing, and then another app for calendar (I use Etar). I think DAV5x also acts as an intermediate for smartwatches for calendar notifications, but haven’t verified this, it’s just a hunch of mine. I think it’s probably for ease of development, so the same CalDAV thing doesn’t have to be redone over and over again.
As a previous iPhone user, I liked that it was in settings (I did not like, however, that I wasn’t able to set up Radicale on my iPhone at all since I didn’t have HTTPS with my laptop server. I guess something something security no options for you. If it worked for you that’s great! Working things are good)

Caddy makes HTTPS a breeze. I’ve tried nginx before but I never understood when and why I would need which setting.

I don’t have a registered domain for my laptop server (and hence cannot use HTTPS) as I find that I don’t really need it for my use case. Using Tailscale is fine for me if I really need to access it remotely, but I mostly use it for backing up files and images on my local network, and calendars can sync once I get home.

I also didn’t like that on iPhone a majority of the useful settings are buried in dark corners that are difficult to find. Not very helpful at all

Yes.
