Aika - Your calendar — one click from the menu bar

by•
Aika puts a full calendar in your Mac's menu bar. See your monthly view, upcoming events, and world clocks without switching apps. When a meeting starts, a full-screen notification appears with a one-click Join button — works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, and 15+ platforms. Create events and reminders without leaving what you're doing. Built native for macOS Sequoia with SwiftUI. No subscription, no account, no data collection. One-time $4.99 a fraction of what others cost.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Suprasanna, the maker of Aika. If you've ever clicked the date in your Mac's menu bar expecting a calendar, you know the pain — macOS just opens the notification panel. No calendar grid, no events, no way to quickly check a date. It's honestly absurd that Apple still hasn't fixed this. I went looking for a good menu bar calendar and couldn't find one that hit the sweet spot. The free options are barebones and outdated. The paid ones either cost a fortune in yearly subscriptions or charge $15+ for what should be a simple utility. None of them felt right. So I built Aika from scratch. Native SwiftUI, macOS Sequoia only, zero compromises. Here's what it does: - Full monthly calendar grid right in your menu bar — what Apple should've built - Upcoming events and reminders, color-coded and grouped by day - World clocks with a Time Travel slider — drag to see what time it'll be in Tokyo at 3am your time - Fullscreen meeting notifications — when your Zoom/Meet/Teams call starts, a dark overlay takes over your screen with a big green Join button. No more "sorry I'm late, couldn't find the link" - Create events and reminders without ever opening Calendar.app - Three global hotkeys to open the calendar, create events, or join your next meeting from anywhere $4.99 one-time. No subscription, no account, no analytics. Your calendar data never leaves your Mac. Would love to hear what you think — what would you want added next?
