;;; calendar-sync.el --- Simple Google Calendar sync via .ics -*- lexical-binding: t; -*- ;; Author: Craig Jennings ;; Created: 2025-11-16 ;;; Commentary: ;; Simple, reliable one-way sync from Google Calendar to Org mode. ;; Downloads .ics file from Google Calendar private URL and converts ;; to Org format. No OAuth, no API complexity, just file conversion. ;; ;; Features: ;; - Pure Emacs Lisp .ics parser (no external dependencies) ;; - Timer-based automatic sync (every 15 minutes, configurable) ;; - Self-contained in .emacs.d (no cron, portable across machines) ;; - Read-only (can't corrupt Google Calendar) ;; - Works with chime.el for event notifications ;; ;; Setup: ;; 1. Get your Google Calendar private .ics URL: ;; - Open Google Calendar → Settings → Your Calendar → Integrate calendar ;; - Copy the "Secret address in iCal format" URL ;; ;; 2. Configure in your init.el: ;; (setq calendar-sync-ics-url "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_PRIVATE_URL/basic.ics") ;; (require 'calendar-sync) ;; (calendar-sync-start) ;; ;; 3. Add to org-agenda (optional): ;; (add-to-list 'org-agenda-files calendar-sync-file) ;; ;; Usage: ;; - M-x calendar-sync-now ; Manual sync ;; - M-x calendar-sync-start ; Start auto-sync ;; - M-x calendar-sync-stop ; Stop auto-sync ;; - M-x calendar-sync-toggle ; Toggle auto-sync ;;; Code: (require 'org) (require 'user-constants) ; For gcal-file path ;;; Configuration (defvar calendar-sync-ics-url nil "Google Calendar private .ics URL.
