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.
I’ve tried a few options, but I’ve stuck with khal for years now.
It works smoothly [1], supports multiple calendars, syncs with vdirsyncer (details in its documentation), and provides both CLI and TUI interfaces that make events easy to see, edit, and manage.
The CLI interface is especially handy for integrating khal with other apps like neomutt and taskwarrior for example. For instance, I have a keybinding that lets me export calendar invites from neomutt directly into khal. There’s also a list of tools (including one for khal) listed in the neomutt documentation if you’re curious.
I use it to manage both my personal and professional calendars, syncing them bidirectionally with vdirsyncer. The only drawback I’ve encountered is that some commands can be a bit cumbersome—but I solved this by writing my own script to make khal’s commands more intuitive for my workflow. That flexibility could be seen as another strength of khal ;)
[1] That’s my experience, but others here have reported it can be slow in some cases.
