Mainly my normal phone app. But for a long time it's not sync'd to some google cloud (which would be the default) but a Radicale instance.
I used Nextcloud before but honestly it's a mess to maintain. So much that I would not suggest it without planning to extensively use a lot of the different available addon functions.
Just for file sharing and caldav/carddav I will pick some simple solutions (like Radicale and Syncthing) over Nextcloud any day.
interesting, I can tell my existing apple stuff to point to my own instance run on radicale instead of icloud.....I dont know why I didnt consider that. its all caldav under the hood
