I thought I'm the only one irritated by the full view of native Calendar app ;) This tiny one is very handy, doesn't create extra mess on the screen when I only need to quickly check a date

Hey @nyun_4,
thanks, for the nice feedback!
About your feature idea, seems to be interesting. Do you have any calendar app you think should be prioritized to be supported as well?
