MenuCalendarClock iCal

I used this app for years. It's no longer really compatible (compatibility stopped at 10.7), and I found a better alternative, so I tried to delete it. I deleted the app file. I deleted the preferences, everything I could find. The app is still running. Its incompatibility with the modern macOS means it no longer displays a settings gear icon, so there's no way to quit it within itself. It can't be dragged off the menu bar. It's still running on multiple Macs, after many, many reboots. Absolutely maddening. I paid for Bartender just to hide it.

Itsycal is my favorite replacement for MenuCalendarClock iCal. https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/49674/itsycal It's free, and it has most, if not all, of the same features. If you want something that's nearly identical, then Itsycal is for you.

I have downloaded MenuCalenderClock iCal 4.5.2, but I can't open it. I am using macOS Catalina. Is it not compatible with this OS?

Now this MenuCalendarClock tool is dead! … Oh sad, so sad. ...I loved this tool in my Menu Bar. It finally died on my new iMac. … I looked around and found "Dato" in the app store. It is even better then MenuCalendarClock, and it only costs 2 bucks.

Not compatible with Mojave. That was a great app!

Stopped working under Mojave. I loved that app!

Yes, stopped working under Mojave..

Stopped working after macOS Mojave upgrade

Still functioning perfectly on 10.12.6.

Love it. still working with 10.11.1 High Sierra. Have to start it manually sometimes. Could use an update. Still the best menu calendar of them all. Worth the price.

OS 10.13.1 (High Sierra) MenuCalendar Clock Preferences / Menu Item / Show Calendar Icon / Position / Right Display is correct (right side of menu bar) until something happens up there and then the display flips over to the left. I reserve the left side for a display that rotates with different length displays so having something to the left of IT causes constant visual disturbance. The fix is to do a Command/click and drag to reposition the MenuCalendar Clock display to the right side. Is this something that requires attention from developers, a quick adjustment to the code?

Just an fyi that it's still working (for me anyway) in OS 10.12 Sierra with no problems.

Still no go with El Capitan DP6 - MenuCalendarClock simply cannot access Reminders, likely doesn't know where to look for. Developer abandoned the app after taking our money and didn't provide any updates or fixes since 2012. It would be great if someone who knows what line(s) of code to change could provide us with the fix, so Reminders in El Capitan can be accessed by MenuCalendarClock.

Nothing beats MCC's functionality, practicality and convenience of use. I use it since the inception and it works up to Yosemite - but has huge problem on El Capitan. Didn't work at all on El Capitan DP1. Works on DP2 but only partially as it is unable to access Reminders and Events. Hoping for a fix.

Well, I started to leave a quick reply below, but it turned into a review. I didn't get to leave a rating, so I'm posting it again. Version 4.5.2 is working perfectly in Yosemite 10.10.3. While itsycal may have some similar functions, it's in black & white and does not offer the customization or functionality of MCC iCal. I've used MCC iCal for years and love it! It does sooooo much more and looks sooooo much better than the Apple clock! Apple's font is monochrome and boring. There are 19 formats to display the time, plus you can set a custom format. The calendar icon can be displayed in color and I can choose a color for the opened calendar border. I can choose the font, color, and size of the time displayed in the menu bar. It's the only bright spot of color up there! I have it set in a bold font and colored cayenne. It's very easy to read at a quick glance, unlike the OEM font. It can be moved to the left of your other icons if you choose. Double-click a day in the calendar and Apple's Calendar app opens. Would be nice if it could open BusyCal or other calendar apps. I agree that $20 is too much, especially for what seems to be abandonware, but then it's still functioning normally on the most-recent OS. They could however add functionality to support more calendars. If it wasn't so expensive to begin with, they likely would have sold more copies and might have felt it was worthy of continued support.

Check Itsycal. It's a new app, looks similar to MenuCalendarClock. I haven't tested it as it requires 10.10.

Works but there is an issue when using with SecondBar.app in multi-monitor setup.. The menu for the MenuCalendarClock application shows on the SecondBar but not showing as an item on main menu. Then clicking on its menu item on SecondBar makes it disappear and reappear on the main menu and main screen, rather than on the secondary screen.

I hope it continues to work...

Menucalendarclock iCal continues to work fine for me under Yosemite. And I haven't found a menubar calendar I like better so hoping for the best going forward.

I like MenuCalendarClock a lot. Unfortunately it seems that the current developers at Objectpark does not really care about it anymore. They don't even mention it anymore on their website: http://www.objectpark.net The original creator of Calendarclock (Peter Maurer) still mentions the software on his website: http://petermaurer.name/software I hope, that Objectpark decides to give back CalendarClock to Peter Maurer, so that he can continue to develop it. It is my favourite calendar for the menu and it would be a shame, if it would be lost... .
