Here's a few places to start: https://github.com/alainm23/planner https://apps.gnome.org/Calendar/ https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/ https://apps.kde.org/merkuro.calendar/ Planner/Planify is an all-around decent to-do list/calendar app, kinda like Things for MacOS. From there, you could also check out GNOME and KDE's default calendar apps to see if either of those do anything for you. Finally, if you want all the features (and a less-maintained app) then Evolution is the old GNOME groupware app that does scheduling really well.
In Ask HN: Any good school timetable apps for Linux?
Not sure where you're looking but source code is here (not sure why they don't link to it?) and last update was about a year ago and there are recent commits. https://github.com/alainm23/planner I just discovered this and really like it, it's a huge improvement over GNOME Todo. My only complaint is that it seems to choke on a large number of (completed) tasks. Though that might be more of an issue with Nextcloud not clearing out completed tasks and a lot of caldav apps have this problem.
In Planner, a task manager designed for Linux
Took me a while to find it, but this seems to be the repository: * https://github.com/alainm23/planner Some notes from a quick browse: - Licensed GPL-3 - Written in Vala, using GTK - Uses sqlite - Meson+ninja as build system (which I like) If it ran on Android too I'd replace Orgzly with this as I wish to have a tool I use both on my phone and laptop, synchronized via Syncthing (so far orgmode in emacs + orgzly gives me what I want, but I wish I had something a bit more pretty and user friendly like this Planner).
