I'm looking for a google calendar replacement that isn't nextcloud, has a descent mobile app with widgets, and authentication built in. I've seen plenty of recommendations via search but i'd like to hear what you personally use and what you like about it.

I use radicale, DAVx5 and Simple Calendar Pro. I tried to use GNOME Calendar on the desktop, but its caldav support is too buggy to be usable, and I ended up using the calendar on my phone only.

Before simple calendar I used Etar, but it had a very annoying bug where it changed the date (or time, I don't remember) every time I edited an event. Plus, simple calendar can send birthday notifications if you have them in your contact book.

This looks like a great fit for my use case, i'll dig into this more, thank you.

+1 for this.

I have radicale running for the family and we use DavX and Simple Calendar too.

I personally also use Vivaldi's built in calendar and Outlook's CalDav Sync addin connected to radicale too - all works a treat
