Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Good heavens! Way back in the mid nineties, Apple installed on (some of) its laptops, a small, free utility called Calendar. I loved it and grieved when I no longer could use it. (System 9 only of course).
MagiCal comes as close as possible to replicating it. In fact, being menu-bar-based, I think it's even better in that respect! The only way the original utility was, for me, better, was that clicking a day brought up not an iCal window of course, but a much smaller pane where free-form text suited me fine. However, times move on and I will probably come to prefer an open iCal window instead, because of the integration it implies.
One or two small niggles â?? When the app downloads, it arrives naked. I would prefer to see (purely for standardization reasons) a folder and, inside, the app plus the common associated contents of ReadMe, perhaps Version History, Webloc or whatever. Second, double-clicking the app (and after the standard warning of "are you sure") nothing obvious happens. The app installs itself somewhere and it appears magically in the menu bar. But I would prefer for it to tell me what it is installing and where. And, in those circumstances, an uninstaller would be helpful.
I haven't looked far yet but I cannot find where it's placed itself. Not in the Applications folder.
Preferences are non-intuitive to find. Once found, one option is "Launch...at log-in". That's fine but, even while it's running, it is not visible in the dock so something non-standard is going on here. Not that I care; the option in the prefs is good enough for me. One less item in the dock.
All told, a lovely little tool. Thanks to the developer.
