Add Calendar Account

1. Open System Settings (or System Preferences on older macOS).
2. Go to Internet Accounts > Add Account > Other.
3. Click CalDAV Account.
4. Select Manual for the account type.
5. Enter:
   • Username: your SilentSuite email
   • Password: your SilentSuite password
   • Server Address: http://localhost:37358/
6. Click Sign In.

Your SilentSuite calendars will appear in the Calendar app.

Add Contacts Account

1. Open System Settings > Internet Accounts > Add Account > Other.
2. Click CardDAV Account.
3. Select Manual.
4. Enter:
   • Username: your SilentSuite email
   • Password: your SilentSuite password
   • Server Address: http://localhost:37358/
5. Click Sign In.

Your SilentSuite contacts will appear in the Contacts app.

Running the Bridge at Login

To keep the SilentSuite Bridge running automatically, see the DAV bridge guide for macOS launchd configuration.

Known Issues

macOS Mojave and later have known bugs with local CalDAV/CardDAV accounts. If you encounter issues:

• Try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the server address.
• If macOS rejects the connection, try adding the account via the Calendar or Contacts app directly instead of System Settings.

Troubleshooting

Calendar shows but events are missing

macOS may limit sync to recent events. Open Calendar > Preferences > Accounts, select your DAV account, and check the sync range.

Connection refused

Make sure the SilentSuite Bridge is running. Open http://localhost:37358/.web/ in Safari to verify.
