davx5-ose
DAVx⁵ is an open-source CalDAV/CardDAV suite and sync app for Android. You can also access your online files (WebDAV) with it.
Claude took a different path but landed in the same place. It suggested Calendly, Cal.com (open source), and SavvyCal as products I can subscribe to. When I explained that my work calendar was behind corporate SSO and I cannot use my personal computer to link calendars, it pivoted to bridging apps like Sync My Calendar and DAVx5 to push data from my Android to the cloud. It did mention Google Calendar's Booking Pages in passing, early in the conversation, but as one bullet among several rather than the obvious answer.

Project mention: Show HN: PasteClean – Desktop app to strip tracking parameters from clipboard | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-15
On Android, I've been using Leon - The URL Cleaner. GPL3 is restrictive but fine here for me. It is a nice Share Target app, so integrates well with Android. And it has an option to copy the URL to the clipboard automatically after cleaned, which is what I want. https://github.com/leon-cleaning-services/leon
I'd love to use a webapp/PWA that has Share Target support, just because. Not sure what is out there.
