Was recommended the calendar app by a colleague recently, after I complained about how crap the FastMail app is. So far I like it a lot. Does exactly what I need, and nothing more. Together with FairEmail, I can finally purge FastMail from my phone. (I like FastMail as a mail host, just not their app)

Another calendar app, developed in 2025, that uses the ridiculous and antiquated "month" view.

I like the month view. This is for my personal calendar, and I'm not so busy that I need a narrower view. Month view is nice for seeing what's coming up in the near future. However, you can set the calendar to whatever view you want.

[globular-toast]

You can't see what's coming up in the future if it's the last week of the month. But, hey, you can see three weeks into the past! So useful.

[em-bee]

you should have led with that. do you know any FOSS calendar app for android that shows 4 weeks into the future?

[globular-toast]

Not for Android. Thunderbird is the only one I know of with its "multiweek" view.

[coldtea]

"antiquated" or "ridiculous" sounds like, err, your opinion, man.

Many people prefer the month view.

If you don't like the monthly view, choose one of the other views.

I actually like the Monthly + Daily.

"Month view" is useful when I need a wide view on a specific month.

[tigrezno]

I also use the monthly view

[Saris]

That's the only view I use. How on earth is it 'antiquated' lol

[globular-toast]

It's based on a paper calendar that you would hang up on the wall. You know, from before we had screens about 50 years ago.

[Saris]

Month view is the most useful for me since I can easily see what's coming up, and on what day by where it lies on the calendar grid.

Agenga view is not as useful for me because it doesn't allow quickly scanning events and knowing what is 1 week out, 2 weeks out, etc without stopping and thinking about the dates. Week based views don't show far enough ahead.

I find it amusing and strange that you dislike the view so much you think it should be removed from calendar apps, instead of just switching to a view you like in settings.

[globular-toast]

You can't see what's coming up if it's the last week of the month.

It's funny how people just can't imagine any other view than the ones all calendar apps have had for the past 30+ years. The only one to do it remotely correct is Apple.

[em-bee]

apples calendar only shows you a dot on a day with events. if you have events every day that's pretty useless.

e/OS/ has a calendar app that allows seamless scrolling so that you can easily get a view with the current week at the top. and it shows events in a way that you can actually tell whats going on. it's not fossify, but way better than apples...

[barbs]

I don't think there is one "remotely correct" way to do it, it's a matter of preference.

[Saris]

If you flip to the next month it shows the last 5 days or so of the last month as well.
