I'm looking to use the terminal more and more, and I'd like to find a terminal calendar app that can sync with Google calendar.

I'm running ubuntu 14.04

  • I have not, but I'm looking for more of an "app" and not a browser replacement. Aug 28, 2015 at 5:46

Take a look at:

gcalcli,

and also:

remind , which has PHP scripts to convert iCAL entries to Remind format.

Emacs has an extension called Org mode (Ubuntu: org-mode) which does, errrm, stuff, including agenda facilities. The Org mode agenda can be synchronized with Google Calendar, though it appears not to be foolproof; see the Org mode Google Calendar Synchronization tutorial, and try org-caldav or org-gcal (both installable with M-x package-install in Emacs).

Emacs opens a GUI window by default; you can force it to open in a terminal by running emacs -nw. You can open GUI windows and terminal windows in the same Emacs instance; run emacsclient -nw from a terminal to open an Emacs window in the terminal, or emacsclient -c to open a GUI window.

  • This seems like a great solution, however I learned Vim and can't for the life of me get used to using both. Aug 28, 2015 at 5:48
  • @JonathonBly So use Viper or Vimpulse or Evil Aug 28, 2015 at 7:55
  • I've tried evil, but it felt way to strange for me. I might give your first two options a try, though. Thanks. Sep 7, 2015 at 23:08
