Caldav is a way to help people's computers and phones talk to each other so they can share important information like schedules and appointments. It's kind of like an imaginary helper that makes sure your different devices all have the same information about your plans.
Imagine it's your birthday party and you want all your friends to come. You make a list of all the important information, like the date, time, and location of the party. Caldav helps you share this information with everyone in a really organized way.
When your mom puts the party details into her phone, it's like she's putting the information into a special folder. Then, Caldav makes sure that everyone else who's invited to the party has access to this folder too. It's like the party details are spread out for everyone to see, no matter what device they are using.
So when you check your own phone to see what's going on that day, you'll see the same party details that your mom put in. Everything's organized and everyone has the same information. That's what caldav is all about - making sure everyone stays on the same page, even if they're using different phones or computers.
