Any good FOSS weekly planners / calendars you'd recommend? (beehaw.org)

I'd like to have a tool to break down my free time in a week and try to get some schedule going on, while also keeping track of upcoming events (import from google calendar would be nice). Ideally no cloud service - would like to have it offline on my PC, and would be nice if it can run in the background and play alerts/notifications for upcoming events.

Are there any tools like this that you can recommend for this? Just trying to get my weeks a bit more structured and doing it in a excel grid, while practical at first, gets tedious fast and has a lot of manual labor involved.

Maybe something like Obsidian might work for you? They offer paid sync but you don’t need that to use it, and the app and using it locally is completely free. There’s thousands of community plugins available for it, so you could customise it to be the right weekly planner for you.

Joplin could also work (if FOSS is a hard requirement)

It's not foss AFAIK, but it works

Oh, true, that’s a good point. I guess when I compare it to other KMS programs, it doesn’t paywall any features besides sync & publish, and keeps everything offline. All of the community plugins are FOSS as well. I use one to have free sync, and it has end-to-end encryption.

So it’s a rare case, for me, of something I’ll use because I don’t feel like the way they make money is extortionate.
