NimbleCalAbout NimbleCal
A privacy-first calendar app, because your schedule belongs to only you, not an ad network.
The story
NimbleCal started after I ran into the same dilemma over and over: most calendars are either convenient but invasive, or private but clunky. After years of using tools that sync everything to someone else's cloud and quietly track how you use them, I tried a few privacy-oriented calendars. They did not scratch my itch. I kept wishing for a privacy-first calendar that still felt modern and pleasant to use, so I decided to build it.
The goal is simple: a calendar that respects your privacy and still feels modern and pleasant to use. No compromise, no dark patterns.
Guiding principles
Privacy first
Your calendar data is yours alone. NimbleCal uses end-to-end encryption and local-first storage so your information stays as close to your devices as possible.
Everyday experience matters
Privacy shouldn't mean wrestling with clunky software. NimbleCal is meant to be something you actually enjoy opening every day.
Sustainable business model
I charge directly for the app instead of monetizing your data. That keeps incentives simple: if NimbleCal is useful, it earns its keep.
100% bootstrapped
Zero VC funding means zero pressure to monetize your data, chase growth at all costs, or sell to a Big Tech acquirer. My incentives are aligned with yours: build something genuinely useful that respects your privacy.
The team
NimbleCal is currently a solo project, built slowly and carefully. As a privacy-conscious developer and calendar power user, I'm building the tool I've always wanted to exist.
It's just me for now. If NimbleCal earns it, I'll grow a small, focused team that shares the same values around privacy, quality, and user respect.
