Proton Calendar to...Android calendar? Via caldav, perhaps?

Hi guys! So, I have Proton Mail, and this also gives me the Calendar. I love that I have a encrypted private calendar, but it bothers me that it doesn’t play well with any other app, as it’s not officially a “calendar” to Android. This bothers me, because I use GrapheneOS, with mostly no Google services, and I'd like my...

Yes, you can, and I would also vouch for Nextcloud.

Let's not forget that the point of Proton's services is encryption. The more points you want it to go through (Proton to Cal{SVC} to Android calendar app to watch), the more you have to relinquish that security if they aren't cooperative/companion apps.

For example, I use Proton on the web (through Tor, actually) because I get the security. If I used the Bridge, I'd be decrypting a layer just so I could use a favored email application.

You're not wrong, it's just about how Proton is built right now. It's still a pretty young ecosystem.

I will menton that all of their apps (both from GP and F-Droid) work great on my OOTB Galaxy 21 and send all notifications (emails, calendar events, etc.) to my Samsung Gear 3 watch no issues.

Actually, you can scan a qr code and use on both

You just never use a desktop profile. You have an account on mobile, and every time you go desktop you sign in with the app and qr code so you're always using the same db on each machine.

My desktop app has zero profiles and no db; I only sign in with my mobile.

My router's admin console, OOTB, gives me the option to either deny individual devices (based on MAC, etc.) access to the external internet, or create a second (or third, etc.) WiFi network that, itself, is not connected to the outside.

Perhaps you have similar settings?

It wasn't actually a question, just a statement about a lack of knowledge.

Gotta throw away the whole Google

starlord OP ,

I'll look into it, but I'm in favor of SMS exclusively (syncing) so I can see all/whole conversations and to just get all notifications and quick-reply to the texts as I get them.

Could you elaborate on how to implement the curl solution?

starlord OP ,

I don't mind of both devices have to be on the same network. I tried KDE and it just didn't work the same way I was hoping. Will give it another shake.

I mean, perfect solution would be something like Google Voice where I could use it from any device with an internet connection, regardless of whether there a carrier device that's even on.

Twilio may be an option (and I have enough programming chops to make my own interface), just want attracted to the (reasonable) cost.
