- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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.
Thanks

Best Menu Calendar

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Does everything I was looking for, especially calendar weeks, which is missing in iCal. I just wanted to have the stock analog clock being capable of displaying a small calendar including calendar weeks and the option a having the displayed digitally while hovering over the icon or in the calendar. MenuCal is a perfect fit for me.
First rate software!

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I was about to request a different time format when I noticed the following information in the FAQ: "You are not restricted to using the formats in the list. You can type whatever format string you like into the date/time format drop-downs. Just use the examples in the list as a guide, then mix and match the elements in those to create your desired format. If you can't work out how to get the format you want, contact us and we'll help you." As I wrote above, thie is really useful software. I'm sending in my donation!
