Focal is a desktop calendar application for Linux.
Focal intends to be a powerful but lightweight calendar suitable for busy work environments. This means 1st-class support for remotely hosted calendars (CalDAV), a complete week view, and advanced scheduling features.
Focal is implemented in C and currently depends only on GTK, libical, libcurl and libxml2.
Focal is in very early stages of development and needs a lot more work before it will be useful. You can help! All contributions are welcome, including those from beginner developers. Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more information on how to get involved.
# Install dependencies
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake libgtk-3-dev libxml2-dev libical-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev
# Clone the sources
git clone [email protected]:ohwgiles/focal.git
# Create a build directory and generate Makefiles
mkdir focal-build && cd focal-build && cmake ../focal
# Build and run focal
make && ./focal
So far there is no user interface for connecting to an account. You need to create the file ~/.config/focal.conf and insert a section like this:
[main]
url=http://path/to/caldav/server/endpoint
user=caldav_user
pass=caldav_pass
