For the macOS menu bar

The menu bar calendar macOS forgot.

Click the clock on a Mac and you get notifications — not a calendar. FastCalendar puts a month at your fingertips instead: one click in the menu bar, a dot on every day you’re busy.

A working preview — click around.

Why it exists

You clicked the clock. You got notifications.

It’s one of macOS’s odd little gaps: the date sits right there in the menu bar, but clicking it opens Notification Center. Until now the workarounds were a widget parked on your desktop or a trip to the full Calendar app. FastCalendar is the lighter answer — a proper month view that lives where you already look.

Every calendar you already have

FastCalendar reads from macOS Calendar, so iCloud, Google, Exchange and the rest appear automatically. Nothing to set up twice, nothing to keep in sync.

Busy days, at a glance

A dot marks each day with events, in the color of the calendar it belongs to. Open the month, scan the dots, get on with your day.

No widget. No Dock icon.

Your desktop stays clear and your Dock stays yours. FastCalendar is one small icon in the menu bar — there when you look up, invisible when you don’t.

Quick and light

A native app with one job. It opens the moment you click and stays out of the way the rest of the time.

FastCalendar uses Apple’s calendar permissions and reads your events on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, tracked or synced anywhere else.

Put a calendar in your menu bar.

One small icon, one click, your whole month. It’ll feel like it should have been there all along.
