Great idea, Marcel! TyCal’s clean design and quick access to my Apple Calendar without distractions is exactly what I need. The native calendar colors are a nice touch for easy event identification.
Curious—will there be support for other calendar apps in the future? Looking forward to seeing this evolve!
I thought I'm the only one irritated by the full view of native Calendar app ;) This tiny one is very handy, doesn't create extra mess on the screen when I only need to quickly check a date
Clean and useful - being able to peek at my Apple Calendar right from the menu bar is the kind of tiny productivity upgrade that sticks. Nice work!
Minimalism FTW! Instant access to your Apple Calendar without app-hopping sounds perfect for people who live in their menu bar (like me) Does it sync smoothly with multiple calendars?
