I love the one that comes with elementary OS[0]. Looking at those screenshots, it seems to be a fork of Gnome's calendar? I've connected it to both Google Calendar and Nextcloud's calendar, and it works perfectly well, provides notifications, recurring events, and I can quickly access today's events just by clicking on the clock on the bar. No complaints what so ever. elementary's tasks app, on the other hand, is still WIP. [0] https://github.com/elementary/calendar

I think it's interesting that so many things in elementary OS are written in Vala. They are probably the biggest user of the language. For example: Calculator: https://github.com/elementary/calculator Calendar: https://github.com/elementary/calendar E-mail client: https://github.com/elementary/mail File manager: https://github.com/elementary/files Image viewer: https://github.com/elementary/photos Music Player: https://github.com/elementary/music Terminal: https://github.com/elementary/terminal Window manager: https://github.com/elementary/gala
