Menu bar calendar for macOS — reads from EventKit, no accounts, no cloud. Quick event preview with month navigation and Calendar.app deep links.
macOS Calendar widget is not scrollable and forces users to open the full Calendar.app. No quick-access menu bar calendar exists without third-party paid apps (Fantastical $57/yr, InstaCal $10).
SwiftUI + AppKit hybrid. NSStatusItem + NSPopover for menu bar presence. EventKit for calendar data. PKG installer with postinstall script for Gatekeeper bypass.
Solo development — architecture, UI/UX, EventKit integration, PKG installer, Cloudflare deployment for companion website. Iterative bug fixing through 7 development sessions.
Swift 6 concurrency compliance, NSPopover sizing without clipping, EventKit deduplication, ical:// URL scheme for Calendar.app deep linking, PKG installer with quarantine removal.
Scrollable month view, event dots, relative date display ("2 days ago"), appearance toggle (System/Light/Dark), week start preference, launch at login, settings overlay.
Eliminates the need to open Calendar.app for quick schedule checks. Reduces friction for users who want a glanceable calendar. Free alternative to paid menu bar calendars.
