Caledonia is a calendar client with command-line and Emacs front-ends.
It operates on a vdir directory of .ics files as managed by tools like vdirsyncer, which allows it to interact with CalDAV servers.
The command-line has the list, search, show, add, delete, and edit subcommands, and has full timezone support.
An example list invocation is,
$ caled list

The Emacs client is defined in ./emacs and communicates with caled server using a S-expression based protocol.
See TODO for future plans.
With opam,
$ opam install .
With Nix,
$ nix shell 'git+https://tangled.sh/@ryan.freumh.org/caledonia?ref=main'
Caledonia looks for calendars in the directory specified by the CALENDAR_DIR environment variable or in ~/.calendars/ by default.
The project includes a test suite that can be ran with dune runtest.
To Patrick for suggesting the name, and all the developers of the dependencies used, especially icalendar and timere.
