Itsycal / Version History
⬇︎ Itsycal (current) for macOS 10.12+
⬇︎ Itsycal 0.10.16 for macOS 10.10+
⬇︎ Itsycal 0.8.15 for macOS 10.8+
- Fetching events from the calendar database is more efficient. The fetches are smaller and duplicative work is reduced.
- Fixed a bug where event tooltips would randomly pop up out of nowhere while Itsycal was hidden for some users on macOS 10.14.
- Fixed a crashing bug associated with fetching events for some users on macOS 10.14.
- Press the
#key to briefly display the selected date's offset from today and day number of the year. For example, if today is October 1, 2018 and October 3, 2018 is selected, pressing#will display +2 / 276 because October 3 is 2 days ahead of today and is the 276th day of the year. If you select the day you were born (which is pretty quick to do with the next new feature) and press#, the offset is how many days old you are today. Whoopee. - You can enter a repeat count and then a navigation command to have that command repeated. For example, typing
14shift-rightArrowwill move the selection forward 14 days. Typing32upArrowwill go back 32 years. The repeat count times out after a few seconds. - Various fixes as usual. If you are an early-adopter of macOS 10.14 Mojave and your navigation buttons randomly disappear, hopefully this version fixes that behavior.
- New preference for a larger text size.
- The event details popover displays the event's notes.
- Itsycal's height is constrained to the height of the screen.
- Text in the event details popover is now selectable.
- For macOS 10.13, Itsycal should properly reflect timezone changes.
- For macOS 10.14 (now in beta), a new System theme that automatically selects Light or Dark depending on the setting in macOS's System Preferences.
- Fixes and code cleanup as usual.
- Two additional choices for the agenda: 14 and 31 days.
- Copy to clipboard: Right click an agenda item for a context menu with this option.
- Compact agenda: Agenda truncates event titles to a single line and locations (if shown) to two lines. To see the full title and location, click on the agenda item for a popover.
- Some tweaks for macOS 10.14 (now in beta and not officially supported).
- Minor fixes and code cleanup as usual.
- FIX: Fixed some Chinese translations.
- Rearranged some plumbing.
- FIX (sort of) for macOS 10.13: Itsycal localizes the calendar and icon so that they are expressed in the user's native language no matter where they are. This worked on macOS 10.12 and prior, but stopped working on macOS 10.13. This version restores this functionality for a number of languages until Apple fixes the underlying issue in macOS 10.13.
- FIX: Some code was reworked to be more power efficient.
- New preference to hide the dots. If you have events every day, the dots just add clutter.
- New preference to display event location. You can also use the
.(period) key to toggle this setting. The keyboard shortcut is useful if you use the keyboard exclusively to navigate Itsycal and you want to quickly peek at locations that are normally hidden. - Today's events dim when past their end time.
- The deletion alert shows the title and time of the event you are about to remove.
- Appearance tweaks and bug fixes.
- Chinese localization.
- Appearance tweaks and small bug fixes.
- New look with light and dark themes.
- Minor bug fixes and tweaks.
- Added the ability to resize the calendar vertically using control-j/k or by dragging from just below the bottom row.

- FIX: Behaves better when you have multiple screens and use fullscreen apps.
- FIX: Event form correctly shows alarm popup every time.
- FIX: Preferences tabs work when double-clicked.
- Minor bug fixes and tweaks.
- New tabbed preferences interface.
- New preference to turn off automatically checking for updates. You will still be able to check manually.
- New preference to configure a custom datetime format. This was only possible via the command-line in the previous version.
- New preference to hide the icon if a custom datetime format is set.
- New preference for highlighting columns replaces the old 'Highlight Weekends' setting. This gives you more control over the appearance of your calendar and acknowledges that the concept of 'weekend' means different things to different people.
- Minor bug fixes and cleanup under the hood.
- Added option for an outlined icon which might look nicer with dark menu bars.
- Added an experimental hidden feature: Itsycal can display a clock in the format of your choosing. To enable the clock, specify your custom clock format in Itsycal's preferences via the command-line. For example,
defaults write com.mowglii.ItsycalApp ClockFormat "h:mm a". To disable the clock, either delete theClockFormatrule, or set it to an empty string. The smallest unit supported is seconds. The format patterns you can use are found here. This feature is experimental and may change in the future or even disappear.
- FIX: The last version (0.10.15) introduced a bug for users on macOS 10.10 and 10.11 relating to a feature that automatically detects the country and conditionally sets the weekend to Friday/Saturday. This version removes that automatic feature for macOS 10.10 and 10.11. However, if you want Itsycal to consider Friday/Saturday as the weekend, you can type the following command in Terminal.app:
defaults write com.mowglii.ItsycalApp WeekendIsFridaySaturday 1
- Itsycal considers Friday/Saturday to be the weekend in the following countries:
Afghanistan,
Algeria,
Bahrain,
Bangladesh,
Egypt,
Iraq,
Jordan,
Kuwait,
Libya,
Maldives,
Oman,
Palestine,
Qatar,
Saudi Arabia,
Sudan,
Syria,
United Arab Emirates,
Yemen.
You can override this behavior and enforce Saturday/Sunday weekends by issuing the following
command in Terminal.app:
defaults write com.mowglii.ItsycalApp WeekendIsSaturdaySunday 1 - FIX: Itsycal remembers its position in the menu bar on macOS 10.12+.

- FIX: Don't show window anchor if it extends past the edge of the Itsycal window.
- FIX: Don't show day unit in icon when only day number is showing for users of several Eastern languages.
