Daily Agenda – Cinnamon Desklet

This is a lightweight Cinnamon desklet that displays today’s calendar events from either an .ics file — either loaded from a local file or downloaded directly from a URL (e.g. Proton Calendar, Google Calendar, etc.).

Features

• Shows events for today only
• Automatically hides past events as the day progresses
• Auto-refreshes at a configurable interval
• Supports both local .ics files and calendar share URLs
• Customisable display

Configuration

Right-click the desklet and choose Configure to set:

• Calendar source:
  • From URL: Paste a public .ics calendar URL (e.g. Proton Calendar sharing link)
  • From local file: Use a .ics file stored on your system
• Refresh interval: How often to check for updates (in minutes)
• Widget dimensions: Width and height in pixels
• Font settings: Font family and size

Note: Only the calendar source you select will be used. The other one will be ignored.

FAQ:

Which should I use, URL or File? If you're hosting entirely locally or downloading an ics file from some system, using say... a cron job then use 'file', in all other cases you want to check with your calendar provider on how to get a public calendar link to show your events, as an ICS file, for proton users, read: https://proton.me/support/share-calendar-via-link#how-to-share-a-calendar-with-anyone.
