So a little over a year ago I received an email from Chronos announcing this utility. I was hesitant about purchasing Spotlife, since I've had a love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with the company over the years, but since it looked to be something I could use I compared it to the competition. It's been to long since I did the comparison (to Blotter, DateLine, and TimeWorks -- in the Similar Software above) to give any specific reasons for my choice, but I did end up choosing Spotlife over the others. It's a beautiful, if overpriced, app and even if it doesn't support editing of events it does exactly what I need: quickly display an overview of my calendar. Buyer beware, however: you will find that support is spotty at best. Chronos has, in my opinion, the second-worst track record in customer support (after Nolobe, the developer of Interarchy); forum messages, support tickets, and email messages will go months without being answered. And, at the current time, the download link for Spotlife 1.0.8 is non-working (has been for 10 days).

Nice application but overpriced like all of Chrono's apps. It's nice to be able to look at your schedule without having to open up Calendar but you can't edit or add events and tasks to SpotLife. Doesn't support exchange calendars either. Hopefully the next version will give you editing and adding at the least.
