Standalone (basic) calendar application for Debian

[swirler]

I'm searching for a basic calendar for Jessie (meaning no integration with any service whatsoever, no remote options, nothing at all, just a simple local calendar) : I'm used to Sunbird (now dismissed, but still used to work) from Mozilla, I take the natural replacement would possibly be Iceowl, but following Mozilla's weird decisions it has been integrated in the mail client as an extension, something I don't' like/need .

Is it possible to have a standalone version of Iceowl, or should I try to run Sunbird in Jessie as well ?

If it is a basic calendar; "cal" is as basic as they get.

Code: Select all

  ~ > cal
      May 2016
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
 1  2  3  4  5  6  7
 8  9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28
29 30 31

Or ncal for the really adventurous

Code: Select all

 ~ > ncal
    May 2016
Mo     2  9 16 23 30
Tu     3 10 17 24 31
We     4 11 18 25
Th     5 12 19 26
Fr     6 13 20 27
Sa     7 14 21 28
Su  1  8 15 22 29

On a more serious note, I do not really use many calendar applications. Are you after anything you can write notes into?

Graphical:
Sunbird is generally more inbuilt into Thunderbird now as a plugin known as lightning calendar - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/calendar/

Claws Mail - http://www.claws-mail.org/

There is also gdeskcal and xcal.

Do not forget the built-in calendars with most Desktops like Gnome, KDE and Xfce.


Terminal:
cal

ccal - new and improved features with bookings and reminders!

I hope this helps, even a little.

Rednotebook? Osmo? Remind? All available from Repository.

jpilot includes scheduler (diary), address book, to-do list and memo: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/jpilot
You can synchronize its data with PalmOS devices.

+1 for Osmo http://clayo.org/osmo/ I would use it if it was able to sync.

If you don't mind non-FOSS check out Rainlendar, I used it on windows years 'n years ago http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php

Orage from Xfce4. Thnk there's a coupe of tricks to get it to sync too.

TkRemind is a simple gui for remind. Can be synced.

Memo from ROX desktop http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/Memo.html

Reviving this thread, still looking for the perfect calendar.

vdirsyncer is a pretty clever tool to sync between two storages, like CalDAV and Google.

calcurse has a curses based interface, experimental CalDAV support, and can sync through vdirsync.

khal is another console based calendar that can sync through vdirsync.

My go to is orage....

Gnome and KDE both have integrated calendars if you like that kind of thing.

i am looking to centralize my calendaring/notetaking needs.
is caldav (a caldav server) the way to go? i notice that f-droid.org has a few apps for that.
and what would some linux desktop choices be for that? from the last post, khal seems to be the only one that has caldav sync built in?

Whilst I use gsimplecal in my tint2 panel. My main Calendar is in a libreoffice spreadsheet.

01/01/2017 in the first column and drag the highlighted corner down 365 lines. Done.

You can tweak the output to look like: "Sun 1 January 2017" or just have the days and months etc in their own columns/
Mine looks like this:

Sun 1 January 2017, Work, Invoice No, Hours, Times, Materials, Total, Rate, Paid (x), Notes, Hotel, Hotel 2,

Plus more specific tabs relating to invoices, companies, tax, procedure, non-work, health & safety, etc
