Side Calendar 2.1.1 — a slide-out menu-bar calendar for macOS. Lives on your screen's edge, pops in on a global shortcut, hides when done. New: drag to reschedule + resize events, recurring events, custom hotkey, smoother panel. Unlike full calendar apps, it doesn't steal focus; unlike menu-bar dropdowns, it's a full day view you can work in. Native sync with macOS Calendar & Reminders
I was Cmd-Tabbing to Calendar 20 times a day just to check what's next, and every trip cost a few seconds of context. Calendar apps are built like destinations — you stop what you're doing, open a full window, get your answer, switch back. But sidebars already work the ambient way I wanted: think chat, dev tools, design panels. Side Cal brings that form factor to your schedule. It lives at the edge of your screen and slides in on a hotkey, mouse flick, or hot edge, then vanishes. Same calendar data you already have — in a shape that fits how people actually work in 2026: heads-down in one app, glancing sideways for context.
