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!

Yes, and that’s exactly my problem. I want different event colors inside one shared calendar, depending on the person – not different calendars per person. With CalDAV only the calendar color syncs, not the event colors, so everything ends up in the same color on iOS or in other apps. That makes it unusable as a TimeTree replacement for shared family or friend planning. CalDAV just isn’t designed for per-event color syncing across platforms.

But when i sync only the colors of the calender sync right? The colors of the events are getting messi

 

Hey Guys,

I' m searching for a good replacement of TimeTree.

I think Nextcloud is nearly what i'm looking for but i the App situation on Android is a big problem for my sourroundings. Like i have to install 2 apps?

Any hint or help would be a pleasure!

Thank you!
