MenuCalendarClock for iCal
Version: 3.1.5 ||
Release Date: 2008-06-20 ||
License: Shareware
($19.95)
Developer: Objectpark
This app replaces the date and time in your menubar with a fully customizable menu extra that displays an interactive drop-down monthly calendar. Displays calendar events and birthdays (requires registration, or willingness to deal with somewhat frequent nag screens), to do items, and will launch iCal when double clicked. The colors are also configurable. Expensive, but reclaims the valuable menubar space by adding much-needed functionality.

iStat menu does most of it and it's free, but it doesn't show upcoming events, I'd like to have that
Be careful ! Developper cannot CARE LESS about his clients. No replies to emails. No support. No way to get a due REFUND. Payed upgrade version 3 is a crap introducing non requested buggy flawed features with no way to deactivate these new features. Leagcy users are not respected. Developpment company is not serious. This software used to 5 stars... NOT ANYMORE...
allows me to check my schedule quickly. i haven't found a freeware alternative and i have serious problems remembering appointments and stuff, so this thing is a life saver!!
For users who want quick access to their calendar without having to keep iCal running all the time, this app is worth the price. The customized calendar/clock in the toolbar is nice, but the real value of this app is in the quick and easy-to-use schedule drop-down.
IMO this app is not worth 19 bucks.. it's cool, good looking but charging this much for a clock replacement is just insane. There are some free alternatives (not as good but free ;]) and better ways of spending $19 on Mac software..
MagiCal is a good freeware alternative.
i know i'm hopping on the wagon a bit late, but this little app is amazing. the free version is great, but the additional scheduling/viewing abilities are well worth the $20, as well. i've switched all my scheduling over to iCal so I have a better excuse to play with menuClockCalendar more!
Ah, the missing piece of Apple's menu clock.
I actually just turned the iCal features off rather than have it bug me about donating. They are nice, but I can live without 'em. I might donate anyway. :)
Clunky name, elegant product. Being able to see the day, time and date in a quick glance is very handy. I don't even use iCal, but I love this little app.
I love being able to customize how the date shows up in my menu bar. And the drop down calendar with your events from iCal in it is freakin' sweet too!
