DayBar v4.0 is out: Menu bar calendar with lunar dates and TODO reminder features

Full contextOriginal content · Reddit

DayBar is an application that displays the local date and reminder events in the menu bar. Click on DayBar in the menu bar to view the calendar, calendar events, and reminders, and it supports synchronization with Apple Calendar. It integrates calendar and reminder functions into the status bar menu for easy management and viewing, while turning reminders into simple and beautiful to-do items. Comparison: Compared with the system native date widget and Dato app, DayBar integrates weekday display, custom date formatting, pop-up calendar panel and Chinese lunar calendar display into one menu bar tool. It directly synchronizes system calendar events and presents them as intuitive to-do items, while native date tools only show basic time information without calendar pop-ups and todo management; Dato focuses more on time and system status display and lacks built-in lunar calendar and lightweight schedule todo conversion capabilities. Problem: Based on the system's native calendar, add a persistent weekday display and date formatting in the menu bar. Click to pop up a mini calendar panel that supports showing the lunar calendar and system calendar events, and displays these events as to-do items. Pricing: All Access Lifetime $3.99 Changelog: v4.0 update: Refactor calendar display, optimize calendar rendering performance, add multi-language adaptation, and fix status bar menu anchoring and calendar height adaptive issues. 📥 Download Link

Turning calendar events into lightweight to-dos right from the menu bar is a really neat touch.

The to-do items are sourced from the system's native reminder data, and no data will be stored locally by the app itself.

Can you integrate Outlook or Gmail? Idea is really good, gonna try it for sure.

This app only reads from and writes to the system Calendar and Reminders. You only need to grant the corresponding permissions to sync data. The system Calendar supports adding and syncing schedules from Gmail Google Calendar, Microsoft Exchange and Outlook.com.
