User seeks one private calendar for Mac, Linux, and Android

A Reddit user asked for a better calendar setup across macOS, Linux, and Android. They want working Android reminders, correct ICAL imports, and a setup where Big Tech cannot read or use their calendar data. They currently use Proton Calendar, but said ICAL handling and notification settings are causing problems.

  • They would prefer the same UI on each system.

  • Correct ICAL import is listed as a desired feature.
