Menu Bar Calendar

The app does not show up in the menu bar
macOS hides menu bar apps when there is no space left in the menu bar. This is a common problem on MacBooks with a notch. Try quitting some other menu bar apps to free up space. If this does not solve it, try quitting Bartender or Ice if you have it installed.
Does it show calendar events?
No. That is outside the scope of the app. My Today (free) and Dato (paid) apps have that.
Does it support highlighting certain days of the week?
No. Check out my Dato app for that.
The app does support dimming the weekend though.
Does it include widgets?
No. Check out my Dato app for that.
Does it support showing a date and time in the menu bar with a custom format?
No. Check out my Dato app for that.
Does it have a 3-month view?
No
Why does it not show week 53?
You are probably expecting ISO week-numbering while having your system set to Gregorian week numbering. You can change it with this system setting.
Why does it show the last days of December as week 1?
That is called ISO week-numbering.
It shows the incorrect week number
You are probably expecting ISO week-numbering while having your system set to Gregorian week numbering, or the inverse. You can change it with this system setting.
How can I change the week number to ISO 8601 format?
Change this system setting.
How can I open Google Calendar in a specific browser?
Use my Velja app. You can create a rule to open any link clicked in this app in your chosen browser.
Can you localize the app into my language?
I do not plan to localize the app.
Why is this free without ads?
I just enjoy making apps. I earn money on other apps. Consider leaving a nice review on the App Store.
