Unzip anywhere and run Printendar.exe. No installer, no admin prompt, no registry entry: the .NET runtime is inside the folder. Delete the folder and it is gone. 64-bit Windows, nothing else.
Windows SmartScreen will warn that the app is unsigned. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
Signing in is gone, and that is the point
Printendar used to sign in to Microsoft 365 and Google directly. That is removed.
Reading a calendar through Microsoft Graph needs an application registration, a registration needs a directory, and every free route to one now ends at a credit card or at an organisation's tenant. That floor is Microsoft's, and it falls on everybody: an organisation with strict consent policies needs an administrator's approval before anyone there can print a page, and a personal Outlook.com account has no administrator to ask at all.
Every calendar worth printing already publishes iCalendar. Outlook, Google and Apple each hand out a link. Paste one in and Printendar reads it — no account, no consent, nothing that can be revoked out from under the app.
The trade is honest: a published link refreshes on the publisher's schedule rather than instantly. For a sheet of paper covering a month, that is worth making.
Printing now re-reads your calendars first
It did not before. The page was laid out whenever you last changed month, so a meeting added at nine could be missing from a printout made at eleven, and nothing on the sheet said so.
Print and Save as PDF both refresh, then warn about anything that failed, then draw. The request tells caches not to answer, so no proxy hands back yesterday's copy.
Everything about a calendar is on the calendar
The separate manage-calendars window is gone. It showed a second copy of a list the sidebar already drew, which you had to open in order to act on the first one.
Rename, re-read and remove are now buttons on each calendar. Adding is one button underneath. Removing asks first, and says what it costs — a link's address is kept nowhere else, a file is untouched.
Also
- Light, dark, or follow the system, behind the gear in the top right. The window only; the printed page and the PDF are always black on white.
- The version is on screen, beside the gear, for when something needs reporting.
- An application icon, at last.
- Every raised surface in the app had been invisible since it was written, from a
Colorused where a brush was needed. Cards, panels and the preview surround all appear now. - Adding a calendar link with an empty box used to close the dialog and do nothing at all, with no message. The address is checked as you type.
Upgrading from 0.2.0
Copy your settings across or just run it — a Microsoft or Google account left in your settings file is dropped, and the calendars, names and colours alongside it survive.
What is still missing
- Only the month view. A week, an agenda and a tri-fold are planned.
- A multi-day event repeats as a chip on each day rather than drawing as one spanning bar.
- Direct printing is Windows only. macOS and Linux hand the PDF to the system viewer, whose own scale setting then decides the result.
- The window has only been run on Windows. The engine underneath is built and tested on Windows, macOS and Linux by CI.
