khal

Recently Khal [1] released JSON interface. In short, Khal is a Linux CLI calendar application. I'm working on a proof-of-concept GUI[2] for the interface. I expect to implement typical views for a calendar application: daily, weekly, monthly. 1. https://github.com/pimutils/khal 2. https://codeberg.org/laladrik/Semana

I’ve used this tool before for caldav: https://github.com/pimutils/khal

This looks very interesting. As the original author of khal (another terminal calendar) [1] I love some more competition in this space. [1] https://github.com/pimutils/khal

I feel you, but to me it was worth the effort and now I have a setup that works. I run a calendar server[0] that is my main calendar repository. And I use vdirsyncer[1] to sync to my laptop to use khal[3]. On the Android side I sync with davx5[4]. This allows me to subscribe to webcal calendars, which outlook365 offers, and syncs them to my two main devices. Not perfect because that means I can't edit my outlook calendar from within this system ( and a reminder why open standards and interoperability are important ), but it means that my private calendars and addressbooks are self hosted. You are right though, that takes effort. And I want to snark at microsoft for not supporting caldav, but then I am waiting for gnome-calendar to support it as well. It doesn't seme to and that feels a bit strange to me. [0] https://radicale.org/ [1] http

I use Khard for contacts and khal for calendar. Neither handle syncing, so I use vdirsyncer for that (you can use anything you like or just go local only). https://github.com/scheibler/khard https://github.com/pimutils/khal https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer

I don't think I suffer from a disorder like you seem to have, but I, too, can't keep any habit, regardless of my motivation. The most annoying 'habit' that I can't keep is sleeping. I never fall asleep and wake up at the same times. Trying too hard to setup a sleeping schedule only worsen the issue. This is kind of frustrating when you see all those self-improvement books and people saying they 'achieve success' by twisting their will and forming the right habits. I also use taskwarrior, this is really a wonderful to-do list manager. Along with Khal[0] to plan things (even if I can't stick to what I schedule, this is still stimulating to layout tasks in a calendar), it gives enough confidence to keep the head high and not sink under all the work that awaits me everyday. The last sentence sum it up for me, these tools just help me to accum

also noteworthy: khal [0], a CLI calendar program which syncs to CalDAV servers with vdirsyncer [1]. [0] https://github.com/pimutils/khal [1] https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer

Also on topic: khal is a pretty good cli calendar app: https://github.com/geier/khal/ It's designed to work with CalDAV, though IIRC, google is moving away from standard protocols and onto their own, regrettably.

shameless plug: if you want terminal calendaring with CalDAV support you might want to try khal [0], it's still in an early stage of development but it already seems to work well enough for quite a bunch of people. [0] https://github.com/geier/khal/
