About Itsycal

Itsycal puts a compact calendar in the macOS menu bar. It reads events from the Mac Calendar app, lets you create new ones, and can join virtual meetings straight from an event. It shows ISO week numbers, can display up to two months at a time and can replace the system clock with a configurable one.

It is built for keyboard use, with a configurable shortcut to open it, Vim motions, jumping to a specific date and a URL scheme. It needs macOS 11 or later.

Strengths

  • Uses the events already in the Mac Calendar app
  • Extensive keyboard controls, including Vim motions
  • Can replace the menu bar clock with a custom format
  • Very small and quick to open

Limitations

  • macOS only, version 11 or later
  • Depends on Calendar app accounts for event sync
