Hi all.

Currently using microsoft products on a work laptop however I'm looking for an open source alternative for a calendar app.

At a min. I would want to it work on android and/or BOTH windows 11 and Linux Mint (so it would cover usage for both partner and myself). I'm a 'plug and play' sort of person when it comes to Linux so nothing too complicated.

If it can sync between devices that would be great but not a deal breaker in any way.

All other functionality is fine to be bare bones, I don't need it to do reminders or send email, just a basic calendar

Any suggestions and thanks all.

*edit. Spelling.

For your laptop, might give Thunderbird a go. It's old school but it still works well.

    I have been using calendar.txt for about 2 years now. Works fine and easy to sync.

    We started with plain text. Then everything got more complicated, and everything came with its own incrutable DB. Now we've come full circle: todo.txt, calendar.txt, plain text markup documents[^1].

    Some things don't need to be more complex than they are.

    [^1]: Some people never left simple and straightforward, but it feels like the Eternal September happened, and fewer people stayed with simple, and now it's getting popular again.
