Features

(or rather: limitations)

  • khal can read and write events/icalendars to vdir_, so vdirsyncer_ can be used to synchronize calendars with a variety of other programs__, for example CalDAV_ servers.
  • fast and easy way to add new events
  • ikhal (interactive khal) lets you browse and edit calendars and events
  • no support for editing the timezones of events yet
  • works with python 3.8+
  • khal should run on all major operating systems [1]_

.. [1] except for Microsoft Windows
