Caliander is the Mac calendar app that keeps you on top of things with a minimum of fuss. Create events five times faster, enjoy a smarter presentation of your events, and create events from anywhere, at anytime, with a global keyboard shortcut!

Three of the Reasons Why:

Create Events x5 Faster!

Here’s how to create an event for Mom’s surprise party on May 3rd using Caliander and iCal:

Caliander	iCal
Press ⌘–N Enter “May 3rd Surprise Party for Mom” Press ↩	Press ⌘–N Enter “May 3rd Surprise Party for Mom” Double click the event Press Tab twice to move to the All Day checkbox Press space to enable it Press Tab to go to the start date control Press Tab once to move to the month field of the start date control Enter 05 for may Press Tab to move to the day field Enter 03 for the 3rd Click Finish

Caliander allows you to create events directly from the keyboard using natural english descriptions. You’ll be typing the title anyway, so why not type in the date and save yourself from having to move between umpteen fields using the mouse or the tab key?

And don’t worry: Caliander supports all the normal mouse interactions as well.

Smarter Presentation

Instead of borrowing the static layout from paper calendars, Caliander takes a new approach and shows your events on a timeline in a dynamic way.

Why should a computer calendar have the problems of paper calendars? Seeing the past instead of the future at the end of the month; trying to fit everything inside the little box of that extra busy day?

Caliander also has an extra trick, perfect for checking your daily schedule: switch on the perceptual log mode and the distant future is squeezed together to show the more important near future in greater detail. This means you’ll see today’s schedule in great detail, but still be reminded of all the things coming up in the next couple of days.

Create Events from Anywhere, Anytime!

Pick a keyboard shortcut, and you can add a new event from any application, even if Caliander isn’t even running. Adding events is so easy, you’ll stop putting it off!

Works with iCal and all your devices!

Caliander uses the same calendar database as iCal, so there is no need to import your old calendar. Changes made in Caliander instantly appears in iCal and vice versa. Your calendars are synced with your phone, iPod or iPad just as usual!
