Simple calendar for Mac

knightstyle

I am looking for a simple calendar to go on my Macbook dashboard. The one that comes with it seems too long winded to add and see simple notes. Ideally it will show two months at a time and I can click on it to add or delete notes.

Spend a bit more time on the Mac calendar application. I have never come across a simpler and more easy to use calendar

Thanks, do you mean the App on the dashboard? I find it so limiting, it only shows events for today! I want to see, all the time,what events are listed for several weeks in advance. Even when I open it the App only shows the current month or another month, I would like to see two months at a time.

Whatever you get, don't use it to set alarms... based on recent news reports, they won't go off!!!!

Use iCal in your Applications folder, not the one on the dashboard. If you're already using that, then no, it cannot show more than one month at a time iirc.

That's the iPhone alarms app, not calendar I thought? Having said that, I've had no problems with alarms on the iPhone. Although I did have problems when the clocks went back in october

I wouldn't mind betting that they use the same date code internally, therefore potentially suffering from the same problem. But I am no expert, iMac, iPad, iPhone, iOS, it's all iCarp to me

But iCal from applications is exactly the same as the dashboard one, you can see a day, a week or a month at a time.

Pop over to http://www.pandacorner.com/PandaSystems/PandoCalendar.html and pick up their freeware desktop calendar- just sits on the Mac Desktop and you can edit it or check it when you want. Been out for years ( I've had it since the '90s, works on really basic older macs as well as new ones.(system 7 - OSX ).
Not suitable for diehard atheists though, it pops up a bible quote on Sundays which you can click away immediately if you don't want it.
