Your calendar,
in plain English.
Almanac is a calendar and task manager for macOS that lives in your menu bar. Type what you mean — “coffee with Dana Tuesday at 4 at Blue Bottle” — and it’s scheduled, with the time, place, alerts and video call already filled in.
For macOS 14 and later · Free during the preview

Every detail, right where you need it.
Click any event to change its time, time zone, calendar, repeat, alerts and invitees — and see a map with travel time.

Never hunt for a meeting link again.
Almanac spots Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, FaceTime and more in any event and gives you a Join button. Connect Zoom or Google Meet to add a fresh link to any event.
Works with the accounts you already have.
Almanac connects directly to each service — there is no Almanac server in between.
Private by design.
Your calendars, tasks and sign-in tokens stay on your Mac. Almanac talks to Google, Microsoft, Zoom and your other services directly from your computer, and stores passwords in your macOS Keychain. We don’t run servers that receive your data, and we don’t sell or share anything.
