I’d like to hear of an alternative to google calendar. I just need a calendar-based event tracker that is able to sync between at least my phone (android) and PC (Linux). Are there any alternative services? (other than Outlook)

        Same (till today) but then the only way you can access your calendar is in the Tuta apps, and then you can’t share appointments with others, invite them, and so on. Bit of a limited option, unless your calendar security/privacy is really important to you.

          seems like you can only share calendars, not events and only with other tuta users

          it works for me but i can see how inconvenient it may be for others

    Radical on the server, Davx5 on the phone to sync, Thunderbird on your desktop. The combination has worked for me over many years.

      Man, I’ve read this like so many times. So… I just set it up and it’s working a treat. I installed radicale via radicale-docker, got it confogured with my user, set it up in Thunderbird and install/configured Davx5 and Fossify calendar (via F-Droid) on my android phone. <phew>

      Docker for radicale (which is unofficial but they don’t offer one, so…)
      https://github.com/tomsquest/docker-radicale?tab=readme-ov-file

      The only thing I might have to get used to is the sync delay with davx5. How often do you have yours setup to sync, if you don’t mind me asking?

    Nextcloud, self hosted. But it is maybe overkill, unless you need it otherwise, for family photo album, docs or such. Davx5 also needed on android. Thunderbird for desktop calendar client. Can recommend etar for android calendar app.

    I self-host baikal and use davX5 on android with whatever calendar app i want, and on desktop i use betterbird but you can use any calendar app you want.

    As others have said Nextcloud has a calendar, viewable via the webam or thubderbird (can also use the tasks) and any floss calendar app really on android or even the one installed by default probably.

    There are a few orgs that permit creating an account so you can avoid selfhosting. Some like from Framasoft are donation funded.

    Tutanota calender app. Works offline. Encrypted. Sync with tutanota login so very easy to setup.

    Use tutanota webb to view calender on pc. Might work as well with their desktop app(not tried)

    Nextcloud is my best pick. Of course, it does much more than calendars, so if you’re looking for a calendar service that does only that it may be a bit overblown.

    Big pros:

    • Native WebDAV integration out-of-the-box - which means that you can easily export your calendars through WebDAV URLs in any supported app

    • Support for importing external calendars

    • If you also use other Nextcloud products (like mail, contacts or office) the integration betweren them is quite well designed

    On Android then I use DAVx5 to synchronize calendars and contacts from Nextcloud with my phone, and Etar as a multi-provider calendar app.
