Side Calendar is a lightweight menu bar app that puts your agenda within arm's reach. See what's happening now, what's coming next, and manage your day — all without leaving what you're working on.
Built as a ground-up reimagination of Now and Next, Side Calendar brings a modern, native macOS experience to your calendar workflow.
ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S NOW AND NEXT
Your menu bar shows the current or next event with a live countdown — "45 min left" or "in 2 hr 15 min" — so you're never caught off guard.
SLIDE-IN SIDEBAR
Click the menu bar icon or move your mouse to the screen edge to reveal a sleek sidebar panel. Your upcoming events and reminders appear instantly, then dismiss just as easily.
TWO WAYS TO VIEW YOUR DAY
Agenda View: Events and reminders grouped by day — Today, Tomorrow, and beyond.
Day View: A full hourly timeline with overlapping event layout, a current-time marker, and drag-to-create scheduling.
FULL EVENT MANAGEMENT
Create, edit, and delete events and reminders directly from the sidebar. Pick a calendar, set times, add notes — no need to open the Calendar app.
CALENDAR & REMINDER SUPPORT
Works with all your macOS calendars and reminder lists. Choose exactly which ones to display in Settings.
HOT EDGE ACTIVATION
Enable screen-edge activation to reveal the sidebar by moving your cursor to the right edge of your display. Adjust the sensitivity to suit your workflow. Works with multi-monitor setups.
THOUGHTFUL DETAILS
Month calendar picker for quick date navigation
Colour-coded events matching your calendar colours
Launch at Login support
Keyboard shortcuts (Escape to dismiss, Cmd+, for settings)
Native macOS design with translucent material backgrounds
Tiny footprint — lives in your menu bar, not your Dock
