OK. This may be relevant:

[1] There are "cloud" calendars which are more private than Google
etc., e.g. https://www.fastmail.com/ or run your own
https://nextcloud.com/ or https://owncloud.org/ instance.

[2] Since these days calendars tend to be integrated with email -- I
blame MS and the wretched Outlook -- then use an offline email client
with a calendar.

Because for me being cross-platform is important, I use Thunderbird.
However, if you run mainly or only Linux, I believe GNOME Evolution
can do this too, and it will run on other desktops.

As Evolution is something of an Outlook clone, I personally tried it
and didn't like it and went back to T'bird after trialling CLAWS and
Sylpheed for a month or 2 each.
