About:
Carl is a lightweight, terminal-based calendar utility that allows users to view and manage their calendar events directly from the command line. It integrates with standard calendar formats and services, providing a fast and distraction-free way to keep track of schedules. Its primary value lies in offering a keyboard-driven workflow for users who spend most of their time in a terminal environment.
Key Features:
  • Terminal-based interface for keyboard-centric navigation
  • Support for standard calendar formats (iCalendar/ICS)
  • Minimalist and lightweight design
  • Integration with local calendar files
Use Cases:
  • Managing schedules and viewing events without leaving the terminal
  • Quickly checking calendar availability during development or sysadmin tasks
Alternatives:
  • khal – khal is a more feature-rich CLI calendar with advanced editing capabilities, while Carl focuses on simplicity and viewing.
  • cal – The standard Unix 'cal' command offers basic month/year views but lacks integration with modern calendar files and event management.
