I've been using Itsycal for this for a while: https://www.mowglii.com/itsycal He recently updated the app with a dark mode, and added the ability for custom day/date/time strings, so it's completely replaced the system clock in the menu bar for me. Also it's free.

@elliotronen It is a shame it is missing an edit option.

@jvdmeij That's true, Itsycal is really just about showing your items... it relies on Apple Calendar to edit anything. I just wanted an app that recreated Windows' "click on the time and show a full calendar" thing, and Itsycal served that purpose!

Hey there, just bought it. Looks pretty good so far! One thing that's missing for me: a way to get the link to the attached Hangout. Hopefully, we'll see that in the app soon! :) Cheers

@mnlfrgr I thought it was just me - driving me crazy! That "continue" button needs to be a download button.

While Fantastical is expensive (a bit too expensive in my opinion, I still bought it anyway though. I paid $70AUD, a lot for a calendar), it offers more that InstaCal, and this really does look like a blatant rip off. What's even worse is that it's paid. I get developers need to make money, but this looks unfinished and doesn't really have a place in the market considering the free alternatives out there. Your website is pretty shocking too, I'm quite surprised that it wasn't ripped from flexibits too.

So it seems that ItsyCal is an update to MenuCalendarClock [even though that software still works fine], and that InstaCal is an update to ItsyCal... sadly, aside from a 'prettier' look, I can't say that it has made me move away from MenuCalendarClock yet...

@itsthisjustin as i shared above, there are many of differences other than just looks. Big ones being, we offer editing, notifications, as well as make use of googles api directly, which allows us to include additional features like inviting attendees.

@wowthatisrandom shoot! Didn't see the other comment. Thanks for replying anyway. Why did you choose objective c over Swift? Just curious

@itsthisjustin Honestly I'm still just more comfortable with Objective-C.

Just bought it. Looks great, but why doesn't it work in full screen mode?

@odedharth This app is designed to be a menu bar app only, and to compliment Apple's existing Calendar App. Giving you quick access to your calendar without ever having to leave the current app you’re in. For a full screen view, we suggest using Apple’s built in calendar app.

@wowthatisrandom thanks for the response but actually that's not what I meant. If you work on an app in full screen mode (chrome app in full screen mode for example) and you open the calendar it throws you away to the main desktop. Seems like a bug.

@odedharth my apologies. I see what you’re saying now. I’m wondering if the OS allows us to be on top of a full screen app. Since your technically bringing a different app to the foreground. But I’ll have a look and see what I can find. Thanks so much for your feedback.
