Proton Calendar
Pros
- Event metadata is designed for zero-access encryption on Proton’s infrastructure
- No ads or third-party trackers in the product’s privacy positioning
- Same Proton Account ties calendar, mail, VPN, drive, and pass for one subscription story
- Web plus iOS and Android clients cover typical mobile-and-browser workflows
- Swiss jurisdiction and open-audit culture matter for security-sensitive teams
Cons
- Feature depth and polish still trail Google Calendar for power schedulers
- Store reviews cite sync latency, missing niceties, or occasional logout bugs
- Deep Google Workspace or Microsoft org cal coexistence is not the primary design center
- Native desktop clients are not the headline—browser access carries most laptop use
- Meaningful calendar limits on the free tier push heavier users toward paid bundles
TickTick
Pros
- Calendar, lists, habits, Pomodoro, and reminders ship in one bundle
- Tomato timer plus stats cover focus ritual without another app
- Lunar tabs cover Asia-first calendar quirks power users expect
- Paid tier undercuts Todoist premium for similar breadth
- Voice entry handles short captures while driving
Cons
- UI density reads busy next to Things 3 minimalism
- Natural-language date parsing trails Todoist’s headline feature
- Privacy threads resurface whenever cloud-first vendors hiccup
- Bare-metal markdown fans still export elsewhere
