Proton Calendar to...Android calendar? Via caldav, perhaps? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! So, I have Proton Mail, and this also gives me the Calendar. I love that I have a encrypted private calendar, but it bothers me that it doesn’t play well with any other app, as it’s not officially a “calendar” to Android. This bothers me, because I use GrapheneOS, with mostly no Google services, and I'd like my Gadgetbridge-connected smartwatch to be able to display calendar events, since they're not being shared with anyone else. But I can't, because Proton Calendar isn't really an Android Calendar. There’s a way in Proton to permanently share a link to your private calendar. In effect, it’s an up-to-date .ics file, that I believe needs to be checked/downloaded every time there’s an update. Is there a way to update this in Proton? Alternatively, I wouldn’t mind creating some caldav system that imported this, but not sure if there’s already any guide for it?

Thanks so much!

Unfortunately Proton doesn't have much in the way of standard protocols, no IMAP/SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV, etc..

IMO Nextcloud while not great as a file syncing program, makes a pretty good Calendar and Contacts storage with full support for those protocols, and a webUI to access them.

Yeah... I'm afraid i might need something like that in the end. Can you hold events in different color for different categories of things?

[–] starlord@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, you can, and I would also vouch for Nextcloud.
