Great app though if you're looking for a simple calendar app that you can quickly access. ### 3/5 — Critical Bug, Otherwise Pretty Good *2024-08-19* The widget is great except for one critical bug: when using the "two months at a time" widget, if you click the left arrow to go back one page/month, it actually goes back by 2. So for example, if you're in the Aug-Sep view and click the left arrow, you will now see May-Jun. ### 3/5 — Виджетов нет *2023-11-14* При открытии меню виджетов, нет приложения в списке непонятно откуда брать виджеты, о которых заявлено **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Виджеты будут под названием Just Calendar или Простой календарь. Напишите мне на почту support@kuzmenko.info если не получится добавить виджет. Спасибо! ### 4/5 — 95% there as a desktop widget in Sonoma *2023-10-09* This small and simple app provides exactly what I was looking for-- calendar views of this month and next month as an ever-present desktop widget in Sonoma. The only catch I've found is the widget visually flashes every few minutes as it refreshes itself, drawing your eye to its "motion". I hope the developer is able to correct that, as other than that small complaint, this is a 5-star app. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback! I use widget in Notification Center and never seen flashes 🙈. Of course I will fix it in nearest update. ### 5/5 — Very nice *2023-07-05, version 2.0.5* Great simple widget, but add please option to set first day of week in future versions ### 5/5 — Works great! *2023-03-02* I had another app that stopped working after an upgrade. This app does exactly what I wanted it to do, it's got 2 and 4 month views as widgets in the Notification Center. And as an added plus, when you click the widget, it opens another window that will show you the whole year! ### 5/5 — Works well *2023-02-12, version 2.0.5* Very simple but helpful widget. Would be great to be able to select what month should be displayed first (the current one or the previous one). ### 5/5 — 月曜始まりにできました！ *2022-12-02, version 2.0.5* ★☆☆☆☆→★★★★★ 月曜日始まりの変更ができないと思っていたが、 システム設定からできました！ 最初評価悪くしてごめんなさい。 Mac OS Ventura13 システム設定>一般>言語と地域>週の始まり曜日 ここを日曜日→月曜日 これで変更できました！ シンプルでとても使いやすいです。ずっと使います！ ### 2/5 — doesn't work with Mac OS X Ventura 13.0 *2022-11-07, version 2.0.5* keeps crashing, doesn't work with Ventura 13.0. Please fix ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2022-08-06, version 2.0.4* All I ever wanted was a big calendar when I clicked on the clock. ### 3/5 — Недели начинаются с воскресенья *2022-06-02* Календарь игнорирует настройки OS "Первый день недели", вместо этого, видимо, полагается на настройки страны, а эти вещи могут быть разными. Например, регион Сингапур, но первый день недели установлен на понедельник. Календарь по-прежнему начинает недели с воскресенья. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-11-16* I love this calendar. Exactly what I wanted - nothing but a calendar that can be a widget in notifications as well as on the desktop. I like that I can see 4 months at a time in notifications. There was a bug from the new Monterey OS. I sent an email to app support and received a response the next day. Then it was fixed the day after. Amazing. That's why the version is so new. One suggestion for the next upgrade... add it also to the menu bar. I haven't found any app yet that does all three in a very simple format like this. Thanks ! ### 5/5 — Simple and does exactly what i need *2021-06-30, version 2.0.3* I wanted a widget to show this month and next month - essential for my daily work. This does exactly that, so with one click i can see dates that i need on the widget sidebar. Worked perfectly in the past when used on a 2014 Macbook Air works perfectly now on a 2020 Macbook Air M1. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Two bugs, reported and no fix *2025-12-03* The widget is great except for two critical bugs: when using the "two months at a time" widget, if you click the left arrow to go back one page/month, it actually goes back by 2. So for example, if you're in the Aug-Sep view and click the left arrow, you will now see May-Jun. Reported this to the dev months ago and never got a response. The other bug is that the arrows on the “two months at a time” widget are displayed over each other and cannot be clicked on macOS 26. ### 1/5 — The illustration is misleading *2025-09-26, version 3.0.2* JUST CALENDAR cannot really set Monday as the start of the week. ### 1/5 — Regretting my purchase *2025-05-12, version 3.0.2* The defunct / unupdated “Quick Calendar” widget by Wandle Software is STILL BETTER in terms of readability — font size, colored elements, etc. Been using that one since 2020. Just Calendar’s font is just SO TINY and no way to adjust!! Only advantage it has is the interactive previous/next month switcher but quite useless since you have to squint to see the dates! 🤦‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Doesnt work with Ventura 13.2 yet *2023-03-22* Downloaded because my other app 4 month view stopped working. This app doesnt work yet either with 4 month view in Mac OS Ventura (22MAR2023) ### 1/5 — Calendar shows nothing. *2023-01-31, version 2.0.5* Calendar shows nothing in the sidebar on Ventura 13.2 ### 1/5 — doesn'twork with latest mac os *2022-11-23* don't buy **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review! If you have problems with using app, please contact me via email support@kuzmenko.info ### 1/5 — Widget is Broken on Ventura. *2022-11-16* Was good. The Widget portion no longer works on Ventura in 4 months mode, which is the whole reason I used the App. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review! Please check latest update. If you continue to face issue, please contact me via email support@kuzmenko.info ### 1/5 — Пропала поддержка для старой версии os *2020-11-30* больше не устанавливается на OS 10.15 ### 1/5 — Не понравилось *2020-11-15* Ищу нормальный виджет календаря (чтобы было просто листать по месяцам и переходить к отображению всего года), как в Windows 10. К сожалению, в этом приложении при отображании календаря на весь год сложно воспринимать месяцы (неочевидо где заканчивается один и начинается другой) - некачественно свёрстан интерфейс. Неудобно листать по годам. Стандартный виджет Apple Calendar получается даже удобнее. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Напишите пожалуйста на support@kuzmenko.info, детально обсудим. Учту замечания в будущих обновлениях. ### 1/5 — Still Not Working In Sierra *2019-10-24* The last two versions of the widget DO NOT WORK in Sierra. I contacted the developer over a year ago and never heard back from them 😔 Thankfully, I have Time Machine backups and was able to roll back to an older release. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly What I Needed – Simple, Clean, and Surprisingly Powerful *2025-06-29, version 3.0.2* As someone who prefers to see everything at a glance the moment I unlock my phone, this app absolutely nails it. “Calendar – Simple Calendar” lives up to its name in the best way possible: no extra frills, just clean, functional design that works right from the widget screen. I’m a minimalist when it comes to my setup—pure black wallpaper, distraction-free home screen, and everything optimized for both work and school. This app blends seamlessly with that. The widget adapts beautifully to my background, and it doesn’t scream for attention—yet it delivers exactly what I need. What really surprised me was the four-month layout in a single large widget. That’s something I’ve rarely—if ever—seen on iOS. Most calendar widgets only show the current month and maybe the next, so having this broader overview is a game-changer for long-term planning. I’ll admit, I was hesitant at first. The app had zero reviews, and I don’t usually spend on phone apps. But I took a chance—and I’m so glad I did. It does its job perfectly, and honestly, it exceeded my expectations. I genuinely hope the developer explores similar widget-friendly features for a notes app. That would complete the minimalist, on-the-go setup I’ve been searching for. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants a no-fuss, elegant calendar widget that actually shows more than just the current month. ### 5/5 — ずっと使っています *2025-06-06, version 3.0.2* ウィジェットに週のはじまりの曜日が反映されるようになって完璧になりました 標準カレンダーより機能が少ない“自分の欲しいもの”です ### 5/5 — Simples e perfeito! *2025-04-04, version 3.0.2* A única limitação que ele tinha era que o app seguia a definição de domingo no fim da semana assim como é definido pelo sistema, mas o widget não seguia. Agora isso foi corrigido. Está perfeito! Obrigado. ### 5/5 — Solves A Simple Problem For Me *2025-03-09* I’ll never understand why I can’t make the Apple calendar widget larger in the Notification Center. With this app, I can add a large calendar widget that lets me see the day and the month easily. Worth the $2. Request: Add an option to include the year up at the top somewhere. I often scroll back and ahead to see what day a date lines up with (I book speaking events for people) and would like to always be certain what year I am looking at. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Worth the money for simplicity! *2024-04-02* As a macOS widget, there is no better calendar app! Simple and straightforward is all I want, and this is the only app that delivers! Vitaly, could you add additional color options? I would love to see the same pink color in the calendar that you use in the app icon itself. Thanks again for the great app! ### 5/5 — simple, super simple but effective *2024-02-16* This is literally the only app that does multiple calendar months side by side. It's super simple, but it's perfect for that reason. Only wish is that the app itself had an option for "stay on top". Developers: Please!!! Always on top option! ### 5/5 — Simple and does exactly what I need *2024-01-24* My needs are simple: a calendar widget that looks good, shows more than one month at a time, and doesn't use sketchy anti-patterns to get you to pay. The widget for this app does exactly this and even lets you interact with it to scroll between months. ### 5/5 — Виджет на 6 месяцев *2023-12-04* Отличный календарь, ровно то, что нужно. Не хватает виджета на 6 месяцев, чтобы видеть полгода. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Большое спасибо за отзыв! Я попробую реализовать виджет на 6 месяцев. ### 5/5 — Awesome tool and quick response to bugs *2023-09-21* Needed a simple widget in my notifications that showed the calendar ahead with the week numbers. This does the trick and a minor bug in the week numbers was quickly identified and fixed. Great response. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2023-08-13* Perfect! Exactly what I needed! It's nothing more than a basic calendar in the notification center. The native option within macOS was available only as small. This gave me the options I needed.
