I’m still on my little adventure of pulling my crap off the cloud and realized my calendar is still blowing around out there. What do people use for their personal calendars nowadays?

Nextcloud, CalDAV, Thunderbird.
This, but DAVx⁵ as a CardDAV client app on Android.
Using this as well, but potentially shifting to Radicale. Nextcloud has pissed me off one too many times.
Radicale + client (Thunderbird on desktop, fossify calendar on phone)
I have a paper 4 year calendar hanging on the wall. Takes a while to write in all the dates and holidays. With liquid paper/white out I have been using the same calendar for well over 10 years.
On my phone - Fossify Calendar.
I host a CalDAV server (specifically Nextcloud’s Calendar app, though plenty of others exist, like Radicale) and all my devices sync with it.
no notifications
too much scrolling
I have a small cron job that cuts the line for the day before into yesterday.txt, so today is always at the top of the file. I don’t need notifications.
Private I use Nextcloud + Betterbird (Thunderbird Softfork (stays compatible with the matching esr version)) + DAVx5 for Android.
At work we use an old web calendar in php5, as this is the only calendar we found that has a side by side view. Each coworker has his own calendar and in the 4 week view, each is displayed side by side. We didn’t found any replacement with that kind of view. Also we use the categories very strict. Each entry need a category, the admin defines the categories and it shows icons for it. Nextcloud even introduced categories a few years ago and still doesn’t have the option to define ones and delete default ones. You can add own categories on the fly, but this is so bad in design, as everyone needs discipline, which doesn’t happen.
Baikal
Dead simple and has worked for me for years, now.
a yearly paper calendar tacked to my wall
Radicale + Luna / Fossify Calendar
fossify for “phone”
tutaCalendar to synchronise events with partner
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.calendar + https://f-droid.org/packages/de.tutao.calendar
Etar with davx5 and self-hosted Baikal
Is CalDAV a cloud service? Usable with some email-providers Mike mailbox.org and posteo.de
Mainly my normal phone app. But for a long time it’s not sync’d to some google cloud (which would be the default) but a Radicale instance.
I used Nextcloud before but honestly it’s a mess to maintain. So much that I would not suggest it without planning to extensively use a lot of the different available addon functions.
Just for file sharing and caldav/carddav I will pick some simple solutions (like Radicale and Syncthing) over Nextcloud any day.
interesting, I can tell my existing apple stuff to point to my own instance run on radicale instead of icloud…I dont know why I didnt consider that. its all caldav under the hood
Plain ol’ spreadsheet.
