SichOS
A free, open-source desktop for Fedora Linux, built on the Hyprland window manager.
What is SichOS?
SichOS is a desktop environment layered on top of a standard Fedora installation. It ships a configured Hyprland compositor, a status bar with an app launcher and a control center, login and boot themes, and the scripts that install and update all of it. Everything runs locally on your own computer. There is no SichOS account, no SichOS server and no sign-up.
Google Calendar integration
The SichOS control center has a Today panel with a month calendar and a day agenda. If you choose to, you can connect your Google account so that panel shows your Google Calendar events and SichOS can show desktop notifications for your event reminders.
How SichOS uses your Google data
- SichOS requests read-only access to Google Calendar
(
calendar.readonly). It never creates, changes or deletes events. - It reads your calendar list and the events in a window around the current month, and displays them only on your own desktop: dots on the month grid, an agenda list and reminder notifications.
- Your data goes directly from Google to your computer. It is never sent to the developer or to any third party, and SichOS has no server that could receive it.
- Your sign-in token is stored in your system's encrypted login keyring. You can disconnect at any time.
Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
The integration is optional. SichOS works fully without it; the calendar simply shows no events until you connect.
