I mean, hey, whatever works for you ... but do you not have anyone
else who you need to share a calendar with?  To me that is the other
key piece.  If it's just you then you can get away with more analog
solutions.  FWIW, _if_ you are willing to live in the Apple Universe
then the syncing just happens across all of your devices automatically.
I just don't think about it; I know that when I (or anyone else in
my household) add something to any device then soon-ish it will
automatically appear across all devices for everyone in my household.

I do remember that, but it seems like it ended up being too complicated
and of course it took Real Money(tm) to push it as far as they got
and they ran out of Real Money.  Also, as I understand it they solved
the syncing issue by running their own CalDev server that other clients
could connect to.

Geez, what DO you use your Android phone for?  Actually making VOICE
CALLS??? :-)

Since you mentioned it ... what do other people use for password
management?  I ended up using a solution called "Master Password" which
is an open-source password generator which is now called "Spectre"
(https://spectre.app) and has a reasonable paid app for mobile devices.
But I am wondering what other people do.
