Description

Semi-transparent background calendar right on desktop wallpaper. Agendas/events/reminders at a glance. Real-time update. Customizable.

WallCal is a desktop calendar that always stays on the desktop wallpaper. A keystroke or mouse click can bring it to the frontmost, and with another keystroke or click it will return to the background. Instantly see and recall what your calendar/agenda/todo-list currently be as soon as you go back to the desktop wallpaper!

These features below are available free of charge:

・An always-on desktop background calendar displaying all events/reminders of the current month on your desktop. Since it displays your current macOS/iCloud calendars, you don't have to create anything new, just continue using your existing macOS/iCloud calendars as you always do.

・Bring the calendar to frontmost state on demand by a keystroke/mouse click, and another keystroke/mouse click to bring it back to the desktop background.

With the Expert calendar add-on, these features below will be available for use:

・You can choose to display the weekly agenda view which shows all the calendar events in the next 7 days on a 24-hour timeline, instead of displaying the whole month. You can also specify the number of days displayed, as well as the visible time range for the weekly agenda view.

・Resize/reposition by dragging & dropping the calendar view while it’s in the frontmost state

・You can choose to display only the calendar event view, the reminder & to-do list view, or both.

・You can choose which calendar event sets or reminder sets to be displayed. By default, all calendar event/reminder sets will be displayed.

・You can customize your calendar background-color

DISCLAIMER: This app doesn't provide any means to add new events/reminders, nor does it provide any way to edit existing events/reminders. Please use Apple's stock Calendar/Reminder app, or any other 3rd party apps that support adding/editing events/reminders to manipulate calendar events and reminders.

Great Start

I purchased this within minutes of first opening your app. It is fantastic tool that I use every time I'm on my Mac (which is a lot). There were a few things that I would love to see in a future release.

The option to put the date inside of the square in the big calendar (right panel). This will help identify events more easily at a glance.

An option to control the transparency of the color of All-Day events in the right panel

This one is wishful thinking: Option to vertically display Last Month, This Month, Next Month, and The Month after Next in the left panel with the ability to fade the mini-Months out of view and bring the To-do-list into view via a shortcut key combo. Tripple click on the one of the mini-Months in the left panel would make the big calendar in the right panel reflect the mini-Month that was clicked.

Thank you very much for purchasing WallCal! 🥳 we've received other suggestions about tweaking color and transparency option of events too, and we'll work on it in the subsequent updates! We plan to add more shortcuts and actions for our users to navigate more easily too. If you have further suggestions, we always listen, so please don't hesitate to mail us at tsukie.studio@gmail.com any time!

Intresting Concept, Very Poor Execution

I liked the concept upon first install; but it looked horrible visually. So I paid the fee to unlock the customization option, but only to be disappointed.

Frankly its not work $12 in the current state. The is basically no customization options other than changing the Bg color behind the weekdays vs weekend rows/columns.

No option to remove the horrible outlines around the dates, or adjust thier thickness, color, or anything. No option to adjust the text/font color, size, etc. No option to remove the To-do list or substitue it for something more useful like a daily overview of events. No options to remove the horrible bold style on the top left calendar. There is no option to adjust tile gaps either.. the Bg color options just add a large box behind the area, instead of letting you set the space with the events to a different color than the row with the dates..

When you delete a reminder from a to-do list, the one on WallCal is broken, and only dims it out doesn't actually delete it. So I have my "Reminders" list overlayed on top of a "Shopping" list that I deleted.

Why not seperate the left panel from the main calendar, so they can be positioned seperatly.

Some of these reviews seem a bit sketch after actually using the app, and paying to unlock a few useless features..

Hopefully this app updates to include some of the functions I mentioned before, but until then I'll just be uninstalling it.

Hi there, the reviews are 100% organic but we understand that the app might not be in the best state to fit every user's use case. We will continue to strive and improve the app, please revisit it in the future. We hope you would enjoy it by then 🤗

Good Blotter replacement

I used the Blotter app for years, but it hasn't kept up with the newest macOS versions. I tried WallCal as a replacement and purchased it the first day. There were a couple quirks and some things I couldn't figure out, but the developers got back super quick with a couple fixes and explanations on how to do what I wanted. I can only see this app getting better over time...(so I left room for an extra star!)

Thank you very much for purchasing WallCal! 🙌 and thanks for the warm and kind words 🙏 WallCal will continue to have more functions/customizations as well as improvements in the future, and we're still working on them every day, so please stay tuned! 🥰
