Calenbar 0.7.1

Choose a tag to compare

@hercase hercase released this 21 Oct 18:58

Blocks booked from a free gap end on the quarter hour.

  • Meetings end at a time people write. Booking a gap at 3:46 now gives 3:46–4:15, not 3:46–4:16, and the arrows move to 4:00, 4:30 and so on.

Installed copies update themselves: open the panel and click Update available, or wait for the next automatic check.

Your free time in the agenda, and every meeting opens with the account you were invited with.

  • See your free time. The agenda shows the gaps between meetings and before the first one (“free until 9:30”), and the one you're in counts down (“45m free until 3:30”). Hover a gap to turn it into focus, lunch or a meeting; focus and lunch show as busy to others. Turn it off in Settings › General.
  • Join with the right account. With several Google accounts, Meet now opens with the one that was invited and, in Chrome, Brave, Edge or Vivaldi, in that account's profile. In Firefox you pick the profile for each account in Settings › General.
  • No more quitting by accident. Quit now asks first, since alerts stop until you open Calenbar again.
  • The 5-minute flashes start on time. They used to start while the menu bar still said “in 6m”.

Installed copies update themselves: open the panel and click Update available, or wait for the next automatic check.

Calenbar 0.6.1

@hercase hercase released this 19 Oct 17:56

The alert still comes if you opened the meeting early, and tidier buttons on the event card.

  • Joined early, still reminded. Opening a meeting from Calenbar minutes before it starts often leaves you in the waiting room, or in another tab. The alert now stays quiet only when you joined within two minutes of the start.
  • Event card buttons. Skip and Open in Calendar are proper buttons, lined up under Join.

Installed copies update themselves: open the panel and click Update available, or wait for the next automatic check.

@hercase hercase released this 19 Oct 15:18

Double bookings in plain sight, clocks that explain themselves, and a card on hover.

  • Double bookings show up. Meetings that share a time slot sit together in the list under “At the same time”, so you see the clash before it happens and pick one.
  • Hover the menu bar item and the event's card appears: time, room, who's coming, Join. Off in Settings › Menu Bar if you prefer.
  • World clocks that explain themselves. Type what your team says, “ET”, “PT”, “CET”, “UTC”, and the right zone comes up first. Each clock shows its short name (PDT, CEST, BST), its UTC offset, and a note when its clocks change within the month, with the offset you will have from then on. Arrows reorder them.
  • My Room. Set your standing room (a fixed Meet, your Zoom personal meeting id) in Settings › General; New Meeting › My Room opens it with the link already on the clipboard.
  • Fixes. A meeting a few days out gets its notification once it comes within a day. The test alert no longer silences a live one, and turning the alert off removes cards already on screen. A short meeting with “vacation” in its title no longer counts as a day off. Title width in Settings › Menu Bar now applies on MacBooks with a notch too.

Installed copies update themselves: open the panel and click Update available, or wait for the next automatic check.

Calenbar 0.5.0

@hercase hercase released this 16 Oct 19:39

A shortcut to join, an alert that doesn't take over, and days off on the calendar.

  • ⌃⌘J joins the next meeting from any app. Change or remove the shortcut in Settings › General. The same action is in the menu bar item's right-click menu and the panel's ••• menu.
  • The alert is a small card now. It appears in a corner of the screen when a meeting starts, over every desktop and full-screen app, with a live countdown, the room, who's coming, Join and Snooze (1, 5 or 10 minutes, or until it starts). Overlapping meetings stack their cards. Full screen is still there as a choice. Both styles leave on their own when the meeting ends.
  • Try before you decide. Settings › Notifications has “Send Test Notification” and “Show Test Alert”.
  • Days off on the calendar. Time off (Out of office, PTO, vacation and their equivalents in nine languages) and holiday calendars tint their days in the month view and get an icon in the list.
  • How busy is that day. One, two or three dots under each day, and optional week numbers.
  • Calendars, by account. Settings › Calendars groups them by account; unchecking List drops a calendar from Calenbar in one click, and the ••• button hides it, shows it everywhere or marks it as a holidays calendar.
  • Mirrored events show once. A personal event copied into a work calendar is one row, even when the copy says just “Busy” or carries a tag; the card names the other calendar.
  • Sharing your screen? Hide event titles and the menu bar says “Meeting • in 12m” until you turn it back on.
  • New meeting, now. Start a Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams call from the panel's ••• menu.
  • Updates you can see. When one is waiting, the menu bar icon gets a dot and both menus offer “Update to…” or “Restart to Update”.
  • No Accessibility permission. On displays without a notch, the title width is Automatic (it learns how much room your apps leave) or Short, Medium or Long.
  • Up to five world clocks, with no duplicates. Settings › Notifications says when macOS has notifications turned off for Calenbar. Install with Homebrew: brew install --cask hercase/calenbar/calenbar --no-quarantine.

Installed copies update themselves: open the panel and click Update available, or wait for the next automatic check.
