Hey guys, i'm looking for an open-source TimeTree alternative: one shared calendar with per-event/person colors that show the same on Android and iOS.

Self-hosted (Nextcloud/CalDAV) is fine; one app preferred.

CalDAV seems to sync only calendar colors; Google’s per-event colors don’t travel via CalDAV and iOS ignores them. Is there any FOSS client or Nextcloud frontend that can reliably render per-event colors (e.g., from CATEGORIES/ATTENDEE) across platforms?

Not interested in “one calendar per person” or proprietary apps. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks!

My nextcloud calendar doesn't seem to have a category color, only color per sync account. I'll look to see if there's a plug-in, as I'm somewhat interested as well.

I would bet there's also a bug report somewhere with such a request.

I won't be able to test iOS easily (the rest of the family have them, but they don't release them easily).
