KOrganizer: Calendar and Scheduling Application

KOrganizer is a part of Kontact personal information manager suite, allowing users to manage events, tasks, journal entries, and contacts in a calendar and scheduling application.

What is Kontact - KOrganizer?

Kontact is a free and open source personal information manager suite developed by the KDE community for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It includes a set of applications to manage personal information such as email, contacts, calendar, notes, news feeds and more.

One of the main components of Kontact is KOrganizer, a full-featured calendar and scheduling application. KOrganizer provides capabilities to:

  • Manage events, meetings and appointments
  • Create personal, work, family or holiday calendars
  • Set reminders and alarms for upcoming events
  • Share calendars with others
  • Integrate with other calendaring standards and servers

Some key features of KOrganizer include different calendar views (day, week, month, year), resource and location management for events, import and export, search, customization with stylesheets and alarm notification settings. It also includes a journal for keeping notes and a todo list manager.

As part of the Kontact suite, KOrganizer integrates tightly with the other PIM apps like contacts, email, notes, news feeds etc. This allows easy cross-referencing of information like linking contacts to event attendees or referencing notes. The unified interface creates a centralized management system for personal information.

KOrganizer is aimed primarily at individual desktop or laptop users who want an easy way to track and organize schedules, events and tasks. With its KDE integration it is a good option for Linux desktop users looking for a full featured calendar and time tracking application.
