Any good FOSS weekly planners / calendars you'd recommend? (beehaw.org)

I'd like to have a tool to break down my free time in a week and try to get some schedule going on, while also keeping track of upcoming events (import from google calendar would be nice). Ideally no cloud service - would like to have it offline on my PC, and would be nice if it can run in the background and play alerts/notifications for upcoming events.

Are there any tools like this that you can recommend for this? Just trying to get my weeks a bit more structured and doing it in a excel grid, while practical at first, gets tedious fast and has a lot of manual labor involved.

Was about to recommend Nextcloud (I switched to them from Google Calendar a few weeks back, and it does the job), but then I noticed you would prefer something local.

Curious about what other people can suggest

Nextcloud seems like maybe too much for what I need and kinda loses its point if it's just local for one user, no? I tried to install it at one point locally with docker to try it out and honestly, seeing all the required configuration or a simple local setup asking me to understand and use reverse proxies and stuff like that put me off the whole idea. Maybe some people enjoy that process but it is way over-engineered for me.

Definitely, in my case I use a non profit instance to not having to deal with those issues

French non profit run by volunteers, so I'm probably going to subscribe to their supporter tier for 10€ per year in a few weeks to not use too much of their resources for free
