What it is

Sidebar Calendar is a Mac app that enables you to view your Apple Calendar in a more convenient form factor.

Intent

I need it when

Track how much time I spend on different types of work and stay accountable to my schedule

The app records productive hours in a color-coded weekly view that categorizes work by type, helping you visualize time allocation and identify whether you're staying on schedule

Create calendar events while working in other applications without context switching

The app lets you create new events and edit details with keyboard shortcuts while staying in your current app, and syncs seamlessly with Apple Calendar and Microsoft Outlook

Keep my daily schedule visible at all times without switching windows

Sidebar Calendar displays your calendar on the screen's edge and menu bar, showing upcoming events and time blocks in a persistent sidebar so you always know what's next without leaving your current work

Quickly join video meetings without hunting through calendar details

Sidebar Calendar enables one-button joining for Google Meet and Zoom meetings directly from the sidebar, eliminating the need to open your calendar app or search for meeting links

Customize my calendar display to match my workflow and screen setup

Sidebar Calendar offers extensive customization including event title/duration display, all-day event visibility, calendar selection, sidebar positioning, theme preferences, and auto-hide options to fit your specific needs
