About:
khal is a text-based calendar and scheduling application designed for the command line. It seamlessly integrates with CalDAV servers and local .ics files, offering a lightweight yet powerful way to manage events. Its primary value lies in providing a fast, keyboard-driven interface for users who prefer working in a terminal environment.
Key Features:
  • Interactive CLI interface (ikhal) for event management
  • Robust support for CalDAV synchronization
  • Highly configurable display and interaction settings
  • Vim-style keybindings for navigation
Use Cases:
  • Managing personal and work calendars directly from the terminal
  • Scheduling meetings and events via a lightweight, distraction-free interface
  • Integrating calendar data into a dotfiles-managed, keyboard-centric workflow
Alternatives:
  • calcurse – Similar CLI focus, but khal offers better CalDAV integration while calcurse includes a built-in task manager.
  • vdirsyncer – khal handles both storage and display; vdirsyncer is often paired with khal to handle only the synchronization aspect.
