KOrganizer

What KOrganizer is
KOrganizer is the calendar and scheduling part of Kontact, for organizing appointments, events, tasks, and journal entries. It supports multiple calendars and to-do lists, quick entries, reminders, alarm notifications, attachments, printing, and undo and redo. For shared planning, users can invite people by email, handle their responses, and share calendars through a groupware server or a network file. Group scheduling, web export, and network-based calendar data handling are also supported. KOrganizer works with services such as NextCloud, Kolab, and Google Calendar, and exchanges calendar data using vCalendar and iCalendar formats. It integrates with Kontact and KDE PIM applications, including KAddressBook birthday information and KMail invitations. Users can organize events and tasks with tags, apply colors to tags, move events by drag-and-drop, and change icon sets. KDE describes Kontact as supporting open standards, privacy, user control of data, and offline access. KOrganizer is free for Linux under the GPL-2.0+ license. It is available through Discover, other AppStream stores, or a Linux distribution’s package manager.
