Calcurse why didn't you guys tell me about calcurse!

edit: I am freaking frustrated. I just am using crontab to remind me and super productivity as a to do list.


super productivity is a snap and won't give you background notifications.


No Snaps/App images, they won't allow background notifications. I mention xfce because I want to get notifications even if the app is not open.

I really want the reminders feature. This is not due to lack of trying that I am asking. Gnome to-do and some other apps don't have reminders.
Planner for some reason doesn't have reminders?
GoToDo is a Snap

And I have tried many others too.

Command line interfaces are ok as long as I can set reminders and edit them.
I like if it's open-source, but I don't care until it works. It must work.

Create a git+compile script and put it in cron/execute it when the app doesn’t run anymore after the last update?

Why not just use a web based tool and enable browser notifications?

Trello, Google Calendar, Notion, Evernote, Proton Calendar, etc, etc…

If you want to really DIY it, and depending on the things you want to be notified of, the Pushbullet API is pretty decent. I have been using that for years. You could probably do something with IFTTT or Zapier or something similar too… I haven’t dug into those.

Unfortunetly all of them are propietary.

vikunja.io is open source nice one. They have Android app in beta.

Looks like Focalboard is an option too.

I haven’t verified that everything is totally there, but Proton has all their stuff here: github.com/ProtonMail

It would take an hour or two to write something like that as a lua plugin in awesome wm. I wrote a ‘egg timer’ type plugin and notes plugin in maybe an hour each when I was learning it. This sounds like something similar.
