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 Gadgetbridge-connected smartwatch to be able to display calendar events, since they’re not being shared with anyone else. But I can’t, because Proton Calendar isn’t really an Android Calendar. There’s a way in Proton to permanently share a link to your private calendar. In effect, it’s an up-to-date .ics file, that I believe needs to be checked/downloaded every time there’s an update. Is there a way to update this in Proton? Alternatively, I wouldn’t mind creating some caldav system that imported this, but not sure if there’s already any guide for it?
Duuuude. I just wish I saw your comment BEFORE spinning and fighting with a nextcloud container. Well…At least I didn’t go all the way in just yet. Just found out ICSx5 does exactly this (it popped when searching for icsdroid on f-droid). My calendar is populated with the Proton Calendar. For my use, I can create events with proton calendar, and Android gets it to the local calendar via ICSx5. Thanks man!
Yeah…Overkill indeed. I was considering to stop using proton calendar altogether and just migrating to NextCloud…but seems this might work much easier.

I hope you weren’t installing NextCloud just for CalDav because that would indeed be overkill. 😆 Glad you found something that works.
