Calendar Management

Since the break of my taskwarrior instance I've used a physical calendar to manage the tasks that have a specific date.

The next factors made me search for a temporal solution:

  • It's taking longer than expected.
  • I've started using a nextcloud calendar with some friends.
  • I frequently use Google calendar at work.
  • I'm sick of having to log in Nexcloud and Google to get the day's appointments.

To fulfill my needs the solution needs to:

  • Import calendar events from different sources, basically through the CalDAV protocol.
  • Have a usable terminal user interface
  • Optionally have a command line interface or python library so it's easy to make scripts.
  • Optionally it can be based in python so it's easy to contribute
  • Support having a personal calendar mixed with the shared ones.
  • Show all calendars in the same interface

Khal

Looking at the available programs I found khal, which looks like it may be up to the task.

Go through the installation steps and configure the instance to have a local calendar.

If you want to sync your calendar events through CalDAV, you need to set vdirsyncer.
