Good text-based calendars for Linux?

khal for the calendar, and vdirsyncer for synchronization.

I’ve learned over the years, through bitter experience, try to avoid bespoke data stores and databases as much as I can.

None up to now, but thanks for telling me calcurse exists!

wyrd + remind

BluSpoon , 10 months ago

I’ve been trying to recall the name of remind! Used it years ago, great for conditional dates (bin collections especially, every other Monday, except public holidays, then move to Tuesday). I can’t recall the syntax but really useful.

Have not tried wyrd, I just emailed myself daily with the calendar. Will take a look

Thank you internet stranger!

You are welcome. I started using remind in 2005 and it has been my dependable and powerful companion ever since. This software is a piece of art. The same is true for wyrd, which is rock solid and blazing fast.

Yeah Remind is awesome. I just use the built-in calendar though (never heard of Wyrd, but I am curious to check it out, thanks).

Not fully featured at all, but for a quick glance at a calendar, cal is really helpful

I think UBPorts’ calendar is excellent… I don’t think it’s generally available as a standalone Linux app though, sadly.

It looks great but sadly it’s not a text-based application 😅

I’ve been using when, it’s very simple; but so are my needs for a calendar.

I used to use Gcalcli which I liked. But nowadays I just use Kalendar

Khal looks promising:

Khal is actually pretty good!

Emacs Org-Mode is pretty powerful, but can be a bit of challenge to learn at first.

sylphio , 10 months ago

I have seen many different ways to achieve that in Emacs. Do you have one to recommend (modes, packages)? Do you synchronise calendars with other devices (e.g. smartphone, server)?

Skyhighatrist , 10 months ago

I don’t actually use it myself as a calendar. I use org-mode for notes, todos and from time to time timing things I’m working on. But it has way more features than that right out of the box. But sadly, I can’t really offer much in the way of advice for sync or anything like that.
