Good text-based calendars for Linux?

For now I found calcurse (https://calcurse.org/), which also supports synchronization with Google Calendar. But I'm wondering what other text-based calendar apps you are using?

Emacs Org-Mode is pretty powerful, but can be a bit of challenge to learn at first.

I have seen many different ways to achieve that in Emacs. Do you have one to recommend (modes, packages)? Do you synchronise calendars with other devices (e.g. smartphone, server)?

I don't actually use it myself as a calendar. I use org-mode for notes, todos and from time to time timing things I'm working on. But it has way more features than that right out of the box. But sadly, I can't really offer much in the way of advice for sync or anything like that.

Khal looks promising:

Khal is actually pretty good!

khal for the calendar, and vdirsyncer for synchronization.

I've learned over the years, through bitter experience, try to avoid bespoke data stores and databases as much as I can.

Not fully featured at all, but for a quick glance at a calendar, cal is really helpful

I've been trying to recall the name of remind! Used it years ago, great for conditional dates (bin collections especially, every other Monday, except public holidays, then move to Tuesday). I can't recall the syntax but really useful.

Have not tried wyrd, I just emailed myself daily with the calendar. Will take a look

Thank you internet stranger!

You are welcome. I started using remind in 2005 and it has been my dependable and powerful companion ever since. This software is a piece of art. The same is true for wyrd, which is rock solid and blazing fast.

None up to now, but thanks for telling me calcurse exists!

I used to use Gcalcli which I liked. But nowadays I just use Kalendar

I've been using when, it's very simple; but so are my needs for a calendar.
