From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking for Neomutt, but for calendars? (midwest.social)

I'm making the switch to using Neomutt for my email, but I still have calendar data from several accounts I want to access locally. Is there something like neomutt, but for calendar data? Maybe an Obsidian plug-in, or some other OSS app I can configure?

I'm using EndeavourOS (Arch), with the Sway DE, and would prefer staying away from KDE/Gnome based apps.

For context I've been using aerc as my email client for a while now, and was looking for something similar for calendars/tasks myself

I've tried:

calcurse: fine but clunky, also a bit difficult to set up. The most mature option and probably the best one available, but I just couldn't get used to the interface
calcure: similarly clunky interface, glitchy/blinking rendering to the point of being headache-inducing, lacking features (couldn't figure out how to look at all event attributes?)
khal: limited in features (compared to calcurse) and slow when there are a lot of events (even when it's only 2-3 per day), also there are some rendering bugs sometimes. Probably the most intuitive and clean interface of all, and good scripting opportunities.
gcalcli: only Google Calendar (I also need support for arbitrary CalDAV), didn't investigate further
plann: no TUI as such, just CLI

A couple weeks ago I've decided to start writing my own. It's still very much a hacky WIP but I'll update in this thread if I ever decide to publish it. In the meantime, I hope one of the above works for you!

I also tried the same options and was not satisfied by any. Good luck with your program! I would be curious to try it when it's ready.
