You can sync calendars that support CalDav pretty easy to most devices. I am using a Nextcloud instance as server^1 for the calendar and synchronize it to my android phone via DAVx5. GNOME desktop/calendar also has support for CalDav and Lightning (Thunderbird's inbuilt calendar tool) too. For terminal there is khal + vdirsyncer.
^1 some mail provider such as posteo.de or mailbox.org also provide a CalDav calendar for their plans.
CalDAV (+CardDAV) is the easiest solution. Evolution mail works great as a desktop client too. DAVx5 will integrate into your android calendar and contacts seamlessly. If nextcloud is to fat for you there is also DAViCal (webserver+php+postgres) and radicale (python…).
Sadly there are no clients that encrypt your data :/
There is EteSync for encryption. But you would need their DAV Bridge for Thunderbird, Evolution, ...
I second this. Would be great if an additional encryption layer was standardized by IETF.
Though if you self-host the calendar e.g. on a Raspberry Pi it does not matter that much whether the data is encrypted or not.
