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.

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.
