Latest release

v1.0.1

A month sidebar beside your year, meeting reminders, 27 clock presets, and a more personal calendar.

  • Added a resizable month sidebar beside one or two years. Click a date in the year view to see its events in the sidebar while keeping the year overview visible. Available in the menu bar popup and separate windows.
  • Added a layout menu with all six calendar layouts. Any layout can also be selected as the default opening view.
  • Separate calendar windows now remember their own layouts, dates, selections, sizes, and positions across app restarts. New windows start with the menu bar calendar's configuration.
  • Menu bar calendar sizes are now remembered separately for each display by default.
  • Added an option to automatically advance panels showing the current month or year when the date changes. Enabled by default.
  • Added optional notifications for calendar events and saved date ranges, with configurable timing, sound, all-day reminders, meeting filtering, and snooze.
  • Added fullscreen meeting reminders with Join Meeting, Snooze, Open Event, and Dismiss actions. Customize their size, display, background, opacity, and opening and closing animations.
  • Added reminders a specified number of calendar months before an event, with an option to preserve the last day of the month.
  • Expanded the clock gallery to 27 analog, digital, and hybrid presets. New designs include sculpted and glass faces, orbital clocks, rotating rings, daylight displays, kinetic petals, and distinctive digital fonts.
  • Added clock dial previews and a live preview that stays visible while browsing the gallery. Analog clocks now offer sweeping seconds, ticking seconds, a natural bounce, or a hidden second hand.
  • Added random backgrounds from built-in images or a chosen folder. Change backgrounds at startup, whenever the popup opens, or manually from the gear menu.
  • Added separate text size controls for month and year views, plus font weight and color options for weekday headings and week numbers.
  • Event circles can now be monochrome, calendar-colored, or hidden, with adjustable opacity. Date text adapts to the visible background for readability. New installations use monochrome circles at 50% opacity.
  • Organized calendar actions into a gear menu. Export a calendar screenshot without selecting dates, with the date and time automatically included in its filename.
  • Added an app language selector that follows the system language by default.
  • Added an option to hide the menu bar icon while keeping the app accessible through the Dock.
  • Redesigned Settings with sidebar navigation, clearer background controls, and contextual previews. Updated Welcome and About information.
  • Improved calendar readability and resizing, including minimum sizes that keep dates readable, square date cells at default sizes, and better use of portrait displays. Weekend shading is lighter by default.
  • Added keyboard navigation to day event previews. Use Tab to focus events and Enter to open them.
  • Year picker shortcuts now follow the year of the panel you clicked.
  • Improved calendar opening performance, particularly with large event collections, background images, and clocks enabled.
