My calendar can do this. Can yours?

A handful of things KashCal does that most calendar apps charge for, bury, or skip. All free, no account. Show off the one you like and dare a friend to match it.

The listโ€‹

  • A new event from Quick Settings. Drop a KashCal tile next to your flashlight and Wi-Fi toggles. Pull down from the top of the screen, tap it, and you're typing a new event, even over whatever app you were in. The fastest way to catch a plan before it slips.
  • Plain-language events. Type "Yoga every Tuesday 7am at the studio" and it becomes a real recurring event, with the time, the place, the repeat, and the title each landing where they belong.
  • Share an event as a card. One tap turns any event into a designed card and a tap-to-add file, sent together in any chat. Your friend taps once to drop it on their own calendar. No screenshots to retype, no invite that drags in extra apps.
  • Real CalDAV, out of the box. Nextcloud, Radicale, Fastmail, Baikal, Zoho, SOGo, Stalwart, and more, syncing two ways with no middleware app, no relay server, and no second thing to install. Your phone's Google and Outlook calendars ride along too.
  • iCloud on Android. Sign in once and your iCloud calendars sync both ways, shared family calendars included. No bridge, no export-import dance.
  • Time insights, on-device. Busiest day, meeting-free days, weekend load, your next free block. It works the numbers out on your phone, no work account and no cloud crunching your schedule.
  • Six views, your way. Month, agenda, three-day, week, month-full, and year. Pinch to zoom, drag to reschedule, and color any event from a curated palette or the full color wheel.
  • Private and free. No KashCal account, ever. No ads, no trackers, no analytics. Credentials are encrypted with the Android Keystore, and the whole thing works offline from first install. Free and open source under Apache-2.0.

None of the above is a trial, a teaser, or a "pro" tier. It's the whole app. Found the one thing your old calendar couldn't do? That's your challenge entry.

Take the challengeโ€‹

  1. Get it, then brag. Install KashCal and find the thing your old calendar couldn't do.
  2. Post it. A screenshot or one line, anywhere you hang out, tagged #KashCal.
  3. Dare a friend. "Mine can do this. Can yours?" Then pass it on.

Lines to stealโ€‹

Pick the one that's true for you, copy it, and post it wherever you already hang out: Reddit, Mastodon, X, Lemmy, a group chat. Tag it #KashCal and dare a friend to match it.

My calendar opens a new event from the Quick Settings panel, before I've even left the app I'm in. Can yours? #KashCal

I type "dinner with mom friday 7pm" and my calendar just makes the event. No form. Free, open source, no account. #KashCal
