                   [--alert-sec-before ALERT_SEC_BEFORE]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --calendar-url CALENDAR_URL
                        URI for ICS Calendar
  --timezone TIMEZONE   Timezone (default=CET)
  --no-verify           Ignore SSL verification errors
  --proxy PROXY         Proxy for ICS url
  --all                 Include events that are not today
  --humanize-after-sec HUMANIZE_AFTER
                        Humanize meeting date if less than this many seconds
                        until meeting
  --alert-sec-before ALERT_SEC_BEFORE
                        Alert meeting at specified seconds before start.
                        This will switch class for output on waybar.

Options:

all

By default, only todays events will be shown (and output will be empty if no more event the same day). Specify --all to show all events.

humanize-after-sec

Meeting time will be show in "human format" if it less than this many seconds until the meeting. E.g. if the time is 11:30 and you have specified --humanize-after-sec 3600 the output will be

<Meeting> in 30 minutes

If you at 11:30 specified --humanize-after it will show

<Meeting> @12:00

alert-sec-before

This option is only relevant for icalwaybar. If is is less than this many seconds to the meeting, it will use class: alert, otherwize class: normal. Examples (when running the command at 11:50):

icalwaybar --alert-sec-before 900
{"text": "<Meeting> in 10 minutes", "class": "alert"}

icalwaybar --alert-sec-before 300
{"text": "<Meeting> in 10 minutes", "class": "normal"}

Parse

A tool to parse ics files and output summary to stdout is included:

• icalparse
