calcurse is a text-based (ncurses) calendar and scheduling application for the command line that tracks events, appointments, and TODO items. It offers a customizable curses interface, notifications, iCalendar import/export, experimental CalDAV sync, and a non-interactive CLI suitable for scripting.

Use cases

• manage appointments and todo lists from the terminal
• get reminders for upcoming deadlines
• import and export iCalendar files
• sync calendar with mobile devices via CalDAV
• query upcoming appointments in shell scripts
• keep calendar data under version control with hooks

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, keyboard-driven calendar in a terminal
• you need scriptable, non-interactive access to your schedule
• you prefer plain-text data files you can back up or version-control yourself
• you work primarily on Linux/BSD/macOS servers or without a GUI

When to avoid

• you need a graphical calendar with rich visual layouts
• you require fully mature CalDAV two-way sync (it is experimental)
• you need shared/team calendars or collaboration features
• you want a mobile or web-based calendar client
