Hi everybody !

While I really like the simple and sleek google calendar web GUI and functionalities, I’m more and more concerned about my data and privacy. Even if I have nothing to hide, I don’t agree anymore to sell freely and consciously my data to any GAFAM.

Has anyone any alternative to google calendar?

  • Free and if possible, open source? It can have some discret sponsors/ads. As long as it isn’t to intrusive.
  • Todoist integration
  • Sync between devices
  • GUI doesn’t have to be PERFECT, but a bare minimum for my candy eyes !
  • Can be API, Web… doesn’t matter as long as it syncs between devices (android, mac, windows, linux)

I already searched through the web, but couldn’t find any conclusive alternative, maybe someone knows some hidden gem :)

Thank you !

    Just going to +1 for Nextcloud, it’s literally the hub of my whole life including PC and CalyxOS phone syncs.

      Second +1 for Nextcloud.

      It’s a CalDAV server and web client, you can use DavX5 on Android to sync with your mobile device. Any CalDAV client on desktop can connect natively.

      Nextcloud also has an app called “Tasks” which can likely replace Todoist. DavX5 can also sync tasks from Nextcloud and OpenTasks is an Android app which will let you work with them and handle notifications.

        Thank you for your insight :) I tried OpenTasks, but yeah… didn’t liked it ! But DAVx5 comes with jtx board who seems to fit better to my workflow and also syncs with nextcloud and Android ! Thank you.

          I did not know that. lol. Thanks for your insight, and I’m going to check that out. That may be new, and I’ve been using OpenTasks for years and have just settled.

            Don’t worry, if you read the following on f-droid Use DAVx5 to synchronize your entries with the CalDAV-server of your choice (coming soon)! Its already working and syncs with your nextcloud calendar and task app.

            It won’t show up in the native Android calendar and I don’t know about third party’s. Have fun !

      Thank you :) This was the best of the 2 worlds. I was a bit reluctant because of the name (nextcloud) but after 2 days of hard searching, docker tinkering, cronjobbing and a few lost hairs It fits quite good. Except it doesn’t work with todoist but jtx board seems promising and is not proprietary, so maybe I will make the switch :).

      I edited my post accordingly, for other users stumbling on the post (also making lemmy more active 🌤 )
