YaCal – Yet another Calendar is a calendar with no ads and no tracking at all, and it’s still free. How does that work? I built it for myself, because I couldn’t see why I should pay a lot of money for something like this just because I don’t like the built-in calendar. Thanks to what modern AI makes possible, I was able to create a calendar exactly the way I like it. It wasn’t and isn’t entirely free for me, but it exists now, and I’m offering it as a free download. Will it stay that way? Yes, though I may add a tip jar at some point. If you like the app and can afford it, you can then chip in towards the costs – entirely voluntarily! I also can’t rule out adding features one day that cost me money for every user. Those features – and only those – I would have to offer as a purchase, so the app doesn’t drive me into poverty. The app already offers a range of calendar views, and I’ll add more as needed. Everything is designed so that you can adapt its behaviour as much as possible. For example, you can simply turn off views you don’t need, or choose which views you want to see and how they’re combined. That way the calendar will hopefully suit not just me but many users. In the same spirit, the app is multilingual. I’ll certainly add a few more languages, although for now I depend on AI for the translations. If a translation doesn’t fit or a whole language is missing, just get in touch through the Contact section in the app. The app runs on iPhones up to the iPhone Duo, on iPads, on the Mac and even on the Apple Watch. As a private individual I naturally don’t own every device to test on myself. If you run into a problem on a particular device, feel free to get in touch.
