CLUSTER BAR-CALENDAR-MACOS · 23 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-11

macOS menu bar calendar apps

This cluster consists of macOS menu bar utilities that surface calendar events at a glance, featuring live countdowns, monthly popovers, and multilingual support. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from -- only one dated entry predates the index, so it predates the collection or its members are undated. On traction, zikr leads with 9 stars, followed by meetingblitz-mac and CalendarBar each with 2 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
