About

Month Calendar Widget

Features
Read full description

See a whole month of your calendar on the Home Screen, with event titles you can actually read. Most calendar widgets show only dots, or the next few events in a list. Month Calendar shows the full month grid, laid out like the built-in Calendar app, with every event as a colored chip you can read at a glance. Features - A full month on the Home Screen, in the widget size you choose - Event titles, not dots. All-day events are marked - Multi-day events are drawn as a single bar instead of being repeated on every day - Days with too many events show a "+N" row, so the grid never breaks - Each event uses the color of the calendar it belongs to - Choose which calendars appear: touch and hold the widget, then tap Edit Widget - Weekday names, month names and the first day of the week follow your region settings - Available in English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German and Brazilian Portuguese How to add it 1. Touch and hold an empty area of the Home Screen 2. Tap the + button 3. Search for Month Calendar and choose a size 4. Tap Add Widget It reads the events already in your iOS Calendar, so anything you sync there (iCloud, Google, Exchange and so on) shows up automatically. The app never creates, edits or deletes events, and your event data never leaves your device. Free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no account required.
