Itsycal overview

Itsycal is a tiny calendar for your menu bar. If you want, it will display your appointments and serve as a companion to the Mac Calendar app. You can move Itsycal in the menu bar just like the built-in Apple menu extras by holding down the Command key and dragging.

What’s new in version 0.15.3

Updated on Mar 18 2024

  • You can set a custom beep-beep-on-the-hour sound. Place a file called beep.mp3 in Itsycal's Application Support folder: ~/Library/Application Support/com.mowglii.ItsycalApp. If you have selected `Beep beep on the hour` in Settings, this custom file will play instead of the default sound.
  • Fix: Go to Date can be invoked with the "return" key - you don't have to click the button.
  • Fix: Addressed a crash in the rare case that an event's attendee name is set to nil.
  • Fix: A hack to address corrupted window drawing on macOS Sonoma when the user has multiple monitors and a large number of events in the agenda.
  • Fix: Long calendar names wrap in the General Settings calendar list.

Itsycal is one of the staples of my Mac experience. I've used it for years, and it's one of the handiest, most trouble-free utilities ever. Period. It's amazing that the developer doesn't charge for it, given how well it works and how it integrates into multiple user calendars. Every time I get a new Mac, I have a set of must-have utilities I immediately install, and itsycal is one of them!

I LOVE Itsycal but what's killing me is that in Big Sur you can't remove Apple's clock from the menubar and also in Big Sur the icons across the menubar are spaced even further apart. Not sure I can afford the space up there for Itsycal any more (and a curse on Apple for forcing that miserable situation).

I've been using Itsycal for a few years now and have to admit that I'm very happy with this little gem: it's small and efficient and serves my limited scope of needs very well. I've never attempted anything like syncing with other devices nor some fancy use so I can't say if then I'd be equally satisfied, but as far as my desktop is concerned it's nearly perfect (customisation thrown in would be very helpful)

As simple time/day/date functionality, Itsycal is far superior to Apple's solution, but I'd love its menu bar presentation to be more configurable, so only four stars. In a different vein, Itsycal is NOT free! It's donationware, but I've been put off from donating, because Mowglii is the only developer I've ever run across who doesn't understand that credit card fees are a cost of doing business, and, particularly, that charging me a fee for the privilege of making a voluntary donation is just plan greedy.

Love the program... Been using it for years. But with Mojave 10.14.3, it won't stay running for more than a few hours at a time.

Great program calendar! Used it since its inception, never disappointed. The developer always keeps it updated and bug-free. Highly configurable to suit anyone's taste. I've tried all the mini-calendars out there, none beats and most don't equal this prize app! Many thanks to the developer for the great price!?

Wonderful little app that does exactly what I need without the need of a separate app password that the way overpriced Fantastical is constantly having issues with. I've been a user of Fantastical since it first was released and it served me well, but has become a real pain to deal with over the years and the price to upgrade to the newer version is absurd. I love this app and wish there was an iOS version too. I highly recommend this to everyone looking for an easy to use and unobtrusive menu based calendar!

Great app, lomg time user. Would love to see two more features though: 1. Three months' view 2. Integrated reminders That would make the app perfect imho.

If you have a Mac that it's 'stuck' with EL Capitan (OS X 10.11.16), there is a version for it still:

I really do not see the point of this application since it provides what the OS system provides so why waste system resources. However, free is free and I do complement the developer for his efforts. I am still rating this application a top 5.

In the end, Itsycal is the best utility of its type that's available, but I'd give it 5 stars only if its layout were more configurable.

In a different vein, though, Itsycal's two donation options are Square Cash, which works off your debit card, and PayPal, which requires your paying a fee if you use a credit card, both of which are, therefore, free to the developer.

Huh?

Mowglii's benevolent beginning comes to an unique (in my experience) and mercenary end which is hardly in the spirit of donationware.
