Just wish I could get off gcal. Too many friends/family on it

Fastmail's calendar works reasonably well. My two complaints with it:

- There isn't a convenient calendar widget; Google's calendar widget only works with Google's calendar. I'd like something exactly like Google's calendar widget but working with Fastmail's calendar.

- Sites that integrate with Google Calendar but not with arbitrary CalDAV servers.

I could live without the latter, but the former is a dealbreaker; I'd switch given a functional widget that is fully self-contained and doesn't require some separate sync app.

Widget for what? Mobile OS? Websites?

Android.

I'm assuming you're looking for the monthly planner view that actually shows events and not just indicators? Try calendar widgets suite or business calendar 2 planner. Unfortunately both are ad-supported (anything designed explicitly to show local personal information shouldn't go online IMHO), but there's a paid version as well. There's a couple other apps that have similar looking widgets as well, you might find more by searching for monthly planner widgets, not calendar widgets. It might also be possible to find one using a week toolkit (I used Zooper in the past, but I think it's pretty dead now; not sure what's replaced it).

Google Calendar is pretty cross-compatible.

Huh? There is little to no lock-in
