MenuCalendarClock iCal4.5.2

Nice handy tool. overview fast the cal.

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!

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?

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.

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... .

Same review as Psychiatry. I used to love this app, but with Mavericks and multiple displays, it's too buggy. I love looking at it but the second I click on it, then it's all whacked. Let's hope someone grabs the baton and continues doing something as great.

Best Calendar App in Store... I bought them all to write a review overCalendar App's on Mac. This one beats all Calendar App's. Try it and you will see!

Excellent application but needs to be updated for Mavericks. Does not work fully on either Mavericks DP1 or DP2. Specifically, the calender itself displays fine but the linked calendar entries from Google or Yahoo not displayed. When I go to preferences---then Calendar--there is not the option to select calendar input source(s).

Nice app, but like far too many menubar apps (Day-O, InstantShot!, Numi, et al.), it cannot be positioned with Command-drag. (But at least it doesn't change position on every reboot like many of the others often do.) And like Day-O, it forces itself into the far right corner position on systems where Spotlight is disabled and replaced with multiXFinder. It would be nice to be able to position the app where I'm used to having a clock (to the right of everything EXCEPT multiXFinder).

It should be noted that the basic features of MenuCalendarClock are FREE. It's stated in the description above, and on the developer's web site: "Get a registration (for $19.95 only) to access advanced features or use the basic features for free." There's a little table at the bottom of the main page that explains the difference between the free and registered features: http://www.objectpark.net/mcc.html It should also be noted that Day-O was a hack to update MenuCalendarClock's basic functionality to work in Lion, but now that MenuCalendarClock itself has been updated and fixed for Lion, it serves less of a purpose. Note that on the Day-O web page, the author states clearly: "It’s free, as-is (which means I’m not providing support, taking feature requests, addressing perceived inadequacies or releasing the source code)."

A bit too expensive IMO. There are tons of free alternatives doing the same. The new app 'Day-O' is a very good and free alternative. Check it out.

Similar software would also be - Day-O http://www.shauninman.com/archive/2011/10/20/day_o_mac_menu_bar_clock

This has been a very useful tool for me for a long time. Nice to be able to see for instance: Tue 05/29 7:02:15 in the menu bar, and have a calendar right there handy with iCal notifications and the like. There has been one harmless bug where MCC would pop open upon closing certain other programs, which was weird, but that may very well have been fixed with this release, not sure yet. Listing should be clarified however not to imply that Lion is required; this version still works on Snow Leopard, and is compatible w/ Lion.

Yay, it's fixed!

Nice app, but one feature missing: Week of Year in MenuBar. %w -> 0 %W -> ?

why would anybody pay $20 for this app? I like the idea and it's something that should already be in OSX. But I wouldn't pay more then $5 for this software.

Having paid for the application via PayPal no serial number was recieved. Despite forwarding the PayPal receipt numerous times to their automated site no serial number has been recieved after 1 week. You have been warned, do not buy this application.

this is exactly what I needed! easy, handy, integrated also with google calendar: what to ask more?

As some someone who paid for this and had to rely on it for a period of time, my experience is that this is a dated and unreliable program which is not sufficiently supported by the developer. I feel compelled to advise you all not to spend $20 on this but to spend your money on same priced or cheaper competing products on this website which simply blow Menucalendarclock out of the water.

I'd wish for an update... almost 18 months without any news from the developer. Meanwhile, I'm eyeing Fantastical, which does get great reviews on the AppStore and features a natural language engine that smartly creates events for you. And the app looks more like 2011 overall too, which sadly cannot be said about MCC.

MenuCalendarClock gives you several nice customization options for your menubar clock. It also integrates well with iCal. I have found MCC perfectly stable. I have used it for many years and am generally happy with it. The display of iCal information is not all that easy on the eye, certainly not to take in at a glance. Inputting information and events takes you through several windows. There are free menubar items and widgets that input new events into iCal a bit more simply and display iCal info more effectively. In terms of bang for your buck, IMHO, you are really paying to customize your menubar clock.

I'm running MenuCalendarClock's version 4.1.2 on OS X 10.6.7, with Spaces enabled (I chose to have the app displayed on every space). MenuCalendarClock sits in your menubar as a small calendar icon (you can choose between 3 icon alternatives), and optionally also replaces the system clock (you can customize the clock's time format, font and color). There's a dock icon as well, which you can opt to hide, but the developer doesn't recommend it. Upon clicking the menubar icon (or alternatively, you can set a hotkey), a small calendar pops up beneath the menubar, displaying the current month. The display preferences allow you various adjustments (like weeks starting on Mondays, tooltips, etc... There's an option to show Sundays in red, but I haven't found such option for Saturdays). If you click on a day once, a Schedule slides from the bottom of the calendar, displaying said day's events. You can click the options' cogwheel (bottom right beneath the calendar) to add an event or a to-do item to the selected day. Double-clicking a day opens iCal in month view but you can check an option to open iCal in day view. Arrows at the bottom left of the calendar allow you to go backwards/forward between months, or go to the present day. Bottom right, there's an options "cogwheel" (mentioned above), to-do items button and close button. MenuCalendarClock syncs with iCal. You can select which iCal calendars to sync with. There's an option to add a Birthdays calendar (you need to create an extra iCal calendar). All in all, I like the app's compact look, and iCal syncing went fine for me. I do have to note, though, that the transaction did not go smoothly for me. Despite completing payment, the e-commerce platform I'd been transferred to to make the purchase (I think it was one of Digital River's) presented an error instead of supplying me with a license code. I emailed the developer (Objectpark) using the email address supplied by the e-commerce service -- support AT objectpark DOT net -- but the email bounced ("Recipient address rejected"). So I went to Objectpark's website, found there a different email address for support, and emailed the developer again, this time to the new address. That email was likely delivered (at least, I didn't get a "delivery failed" notification), but the developer hasn't responded. So, I emailed the e-commerce platform's customers service, and after about 2 or 3 emails, they finally emailed me the license code. If you purchase the software, I hope the transaction goes smoother for you.

Really simple and always handy.

Would be 5 stars if it would work with BusyCal instead of iCal.

When it works it's really nice to have and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, it rarely works correctly. I have some events which only show up here, some others are shown on the wrong date. How can I fix or get rid of them when the events are not in iCal? I also get errors on the console which I've reported to the developer many times but I've never received even an acknowledgement. And yes, I've erased and reloaded... no change. Would also suggest extreme caution updating MCC. For me, almost every other update has been bad. When an update is released I now wait a couple of months for the next one which is released to fix the bugs in the last one. Then a few months later a new update is released which adds a "feature" and the cycle starts again. Don't get me wrong -- the UI is good, the idea is good, the usability is good -- in theory. But support is a joke and too many things haven't worked properly, at least for me. Note I have multiple licenses and have been using it on and off for many many years and my complaints aren't based only on recent experiences. I guess if I keep upgrading I still hold some hope. Or I'm not too smart!

Please add right-click on dates to access the tool-menu. Thanks.

I've now waited a week for a response from these cowboys and just called them. Didn't have time to talk to me ("busy"), but they appear to be still in business and admit to having a "slight backlog" on support issues. A week's worth of support issues unanswered? "Yes" I'd steer well clear as someone as shonky as this

A useful app, way overpriced, sloppy update programming, outrageously poor customer service. The upgrade to 4.1.0 was buggy (acknowledged by the developer " 4.1.0 won't ever update automatically due to a glitch in the new autoupdate software we were forced to use") to the extent that a complete reinstall was necessary. I've now been waiting 3 days to find out why 4.1.2 won't run under OS 10.6.4. OK for shareware, unacceptable for a commercial product

This app is very nice, but fails to show delegated calendars that iCal syncs with Google calendar. I wrote To Objective Park about this, but they have not replied.

Gee, I was only trying to give the developer some wiggle room here. My unusual setup has simply never been an issue for any of the programs or about 20 other menubar items I use, so why would I routinely add all these disclaimers you are demanding? In fact, the only problem I can recall was way back I couldn't run the Flip4Mac installer within a FileVault environment - but that's about it, and that was almost a couple years ago (it's fixed now). It's a testament to OSX that it's so rock solid in such environments. That being said, I do notice previous versions of MCC seem to vanish from my menubar after several days of usage for reasons as yet unknown. Perhaps this version (released after my original post) is better - I'll let you know after about a week. At the end of the day all I'm doing is reporting my experiences and rating accordingly. Like everything else, if I'm in the minority then the ratings statistics will take care of things. No need for the flames...

I could swear an earlier version let you have white or lighter-colored text on a dark background. iStat menus allows this. I think the user should have more control over the colors of the drop-down calendar. For now, I will use iStat Menus based on looks alone!

Nice handy tool. overview fast the cal.

while an icon might suffice for some, this app, which has integrated beautifully with iCal for many years, is a godsend for those of us who need a stable quick access to any of our calendars on iCal, be they Google-synched or MobileMe-synched, Menu Cal performs a fantastic job. Hardly obtrusive and most-always very stable, I'm more than willing to be a bit forgiving when an upgrade goes slightly bad and one has to revert to a previous version for a short while. I've used this app for several years and have never regretted purchasing it.

A stupid date icon isn't worth this much hassle. Maybe others use it for more, but with the changes you've made, I've just switched to iStatPro's icon. Bummer, dude. You really should just sell a $1 prog that does several different date icons for the status bar. You would probably outsell your other buggy product.

Previous version MenuCalendarClock for iCal 4.0.0 available here: http://mirsofta.ru/red.php?id=1252548696&url=1252548696

4.1 hangs my computer too. Reverted to previous version using Time Machine.

Yes, version 4.1 is hanging on launch. OS X 10.5

Version 4.1 is hanging on launch after updating from 4.0. Used Time Machine to revert to 4.0 and all is well again.

This is a review of the Customer Support for this product. The trial worked perfectly. After I purchased it and entered my key I was unable to enter any information into a new task or appointment. I was able to highlight the cell but it did not see my keyboard strokes. I emailed the company. Nothing. I emailed again. Still no response. I have entered a complaint and requested a refund through PayPal but they do not respond to that either. I would not make any purchase from this company.

Is there an upgrade discount for regsitered users of previous versions?

Cannot open the dmg "MenuCalendarClock-4.0.0.dmg" Anyone having success?

Is there now no way to hide the application from the dock? I hate it when there're application's in my dock that I expect to run in the background. Can you please provide an option as in version 3 to deactivate the dock appearance?

The pop down calendar on the clock should have been built into the OS. This is great for quickly viewing iCal and getting a glance of your day. The customization options are great (which calendars to include, how many days, etc). Tool tip hover overs mean I can see what is happening on any day. I only go to iCal to edit my calendar now. The search option is not on by default, but it is there. Well worth the money.

This is such a wonderful application. It looks fantastic. Has great preference options and is all around very helpful

Great application. Great functionality. No issues running version 3.1.6 on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo. Recommended.

I have repeatedly attempt to start this application and it hangs and freezes the system for many minutes before it crashes. I downloaded the latest version and installed it over the old. This did not help. I recommend against using this application.

I had to revert back to 3.0.6 to get the application out of the dock. Thank goodness I saved a copy.

Had many issues on 10.5.2 and even more on 10.5.3. No response from the developers, despite several requests for help. The buggy nature of the app and total absence of any kind of support force me to recommend against buying this app.

Seems to generally work okay, but I've had numerous issues with it, particularly it telling me I need to pay for extra features when I have the registered version and it crashing frequently when it loads at startup. Tried contacting the developers for help but never received any response to any of my mails. I'm glad I only got it as part of the MU bundle and didn't pay full price for it.

Solve the horrific aliasing problem in Leopard (if possible - if you use the transparent menubar, the anti-aliased text is just not anti-aliased and is ugly as hell) and provide me with the ability to add events as well as to dos and this would be a 5 star app.

I purchased Menu Clock with the Bundle. Many tries but it will not open. It does seem to produce a "bump" in the tool bar but nothing shows. anyone know why the program won't open?

I tried to hide this software on restart in the System Pref, but it still appears on my dock, how annoying...

cant ooen the Gz Image whit stuffit expander ! Any image around whit our GZ sincerly jarre

I decided to take the new option for "hiding the Dock Icon by compromising its functionality" Much happier to have this app behaving as I believe something in the menu bar should. Thanks to the developer for responding to the feedback - however reluctantly.

I've been upgrading from earlier version and have to say that version 3.1 is littered with bugs. The No. 1 app to cause my system to grind to a halt due to non-responsiveness. No replies from developer, no fix in sight... I'm disappointed.

Be careful ! Developper cannot CARE LESS about his clients. No replies to emails. New PAY version can be totally unuseful for some legacy users and no way to get a REFUND. Sorry, ObjectPark, you are not a serious company. Your software use to be 5stars... NOT ANYMORE.

All these updates for 10.5, and it still doesn't work correctly with Spaces (the drop-down only appears on the one you first run it from). Used to be a 5-star program, unfortunately has gone downhill.

More than 2 weeks now without any reply from development company about 'bad features', bug and support requests, and finally refund claim... Not serious people : they take money but the do not care for users...

I agree with what others have said about the latest updates to this application. I used to love MCC because it was unobtrusive and offered a quick look at what was going on with my calendar. However, i don't need the to-do list management features in this utility and I can't stand the fact that the developer's new direction adds a dock icon to what used to be a nice, streamlined menubar interface. And, as others have mentioned, emails to the developer go unanswered. I've recently switched to the menubar calendar included with iStat menus, and I use the Dashboard widget iCal Events for quickly seeing what's on my schedule. Both of these alternatives are excellent and free.
