RFI: Privacy Centric Alternatives to Google Products (Calendar, esp.)

[Liberty's Landing]

I'm slowly working my way through replacing Google/Android products with privacy-centric alternatives. I've spent most of today trying to find an alternative to Google Calendar. Ideally, it would be free, web based, sync-able with Mozilla Thunderbird Lightning addon as well as an Android app replacement for the Google Calendar app. I would even consider multiple apps that would sync with each other if it is seemless.

Google Calendar is really good. I can't find anything close. Any help is appreciated.

android is pretty compatible with linux. You might be able to sync the "California" calender from linux mint to thunderbird.

I run ubuntu on the desktop. Thunderbird has a calendar addon that connects to Google Calendar and will connect to other ones as well. Ideally what I'm looking for is an open source web-based calendar that does what duckduckgo does for search. Thanks to the recommendation. I'll look into it.

If it's digital, don't count on it being private, unless you have a machine not connected to any network 100% of the time.

Even if the computer is "air gapped", there are still ways to get into them remotely. Just being able to see what is on someones computer monitor may be enough of an attack vector to compromise a system.

I'm not looking for perfection. I'm just looking for a calendar that I can separate from my email provider, but still sync with my email client. I'll search man cal and see if that is a thing or a typo.

Thanks, by the way.

Maybe try Mozilla Thunderbird? I think it has some built in calendar features. If you dont use it for emails otherwise, I figure you could block it completely in a firewall and only allow local machine access. Not sure on anything that is web centric as that is the very definition of giving up your privacy.

Perhaps it may be better to look away from electronics all together? Such as a paper pocket planner of some form? If you have it in your pocket, you have more access to it than the entire interweb, plus the security of a pen and paper calendar / daily planner is probably 1000 times more secure and less complex than anything online.

Just my two cents...
