Native, not adjacent
KBeat follows KDE themes, fonts, shortcuts, Secret Service, notifications, KRunner, and Dolphin instead of pretending the desktop is a browser.
A native KDE workspace
Your day, without the machinery.
KBeat brings calendars, tasks, weather, quick notes, private journaling, and time conversion together without Akonadi or cloud-first assumptions.
- KDE Plasma 6
- Local-first
- CalDAV compatible
- Install only what you need
KBeat
@500
Calendar + PlasmaYour schedule, weather, and day at a glance.
TasksOrganize work without turning it into a system to maintain.
JournalEncrypted daily writing that stays focused on today.
ScrapsCatch a thought before it disappears.
ConverterLocal, UTC, Internet Time, and saved places.
The KBeat approach
Remove the knobs. Keep the functionality.
Complex engineering belongs behind the interface. KBeat gives each job one obvious home, reveals detail when it becomes useful, and otherwise gets out of your way.
Local before connected
Your calendar, writing, and captured thoughts remain useful when a provider is slow, unavailable, or simply absent.
One way to do the thing
The Plasma widget is for glancing. Calendar is for planning. Tasks is for organizing. Journal is for writing. Each surface knows its purpose.
Focused tools, shared foundation
A suite that does not become a religion.
Install the pieces that fit your workflow. They share visual language, settings, and integration without forcing every component onto your system.
PlanCalendar + Plasma widget
Agenda, month, week, and day views with weather, recurring events, CalDAV, read-only feeds, and a compact desktop view that opens the full context when you need it.
OrganizeTasks
Due dates, reminders, recurrence, priorities, subtasks, dependencies, and multiple lists—presented as work to finish rather than a hierarchy to administer.
ReflectJournal
A visual Markdown writing space with optional Vim keys, templates, mood and health check-ins, encrypted local storage, and optional opaque remote sync.
CaptureScraps
Fast, ordinary Markdown notes from a global shortcut, KRunner, KDE sharing, or Dolphin. Search, pin, archive, and recover without building a second brain first.
Translate timeConverter
One moment shown in local time, UTC, Internet Time, and the places you care about. Edit any representation and let the others follow.
OptionalMail indicator
One quiet envelope when a connected Gmail Inbox contains unread mail. No message list, no sender profiling, and no attempt to become another mail client.
Self-hostKBeatDav
A compact single-user server for calendars and tasks, plus optional KBeat Journal and Scraps synchronization. Traditional CalDAV clients remain welcome.
Privacy is architecture
Useful without becoming observable.
No account is required for the suite. No advertising, behavioral analytics, or centralized KBeat cloud sits between you and your work.
Read the privacy policyEncrypted Journal
Entries are encrypted before local storage or optional synchronization.
Your providers
CalDAV and Google requests go directly from your computer to the service you chose.
Your server, if you want one
KBeatDav can run locally or on infrastructure you control.
Honest boundaries
Calendar, Tasks, and remotely synced Scraps are not presented as encrypted when they are not.
In active development
Built in the open—when it is ready.
KBeat is currently in private development and daily use. Public source, packages, and installation guidance will appear here when the suite reaches its release standard.
