24 alternatives to Clendar, a Minimal Calendar App

Hello and Happy New Year HN! Hope all the bests in 2022. So I've been working on a minimal calendar app , named Clendar (Calendar without an 'a'). I know, it's not a good SEO name, but I will go with it :) I've been building Clendar on my spare time. At first, it's just a side weekend project so that I can learn new Apple technologies, but, the app came to the point of usability that I think I should publish on the App Store anyway for the world to know and use it. Besides, I have been trying to design the app for minimal and usability in mind. Also, the app is fully open-source, as a way…

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Clendar, a Minimal Calendar App launched in 2022; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Did this during the holidays and just finished with few extra features: http://thingsand.me/ And an example blog: http://thingsand.me/jori I tried to keep the platform as simple as possible and focus on the images instead of making yet another blogging platform. Time will tell for what people are going to use it. I hope to add API soon (iPhone uploader would be awesome to blog daily activities).

    Hey HN! I'm the creator of Calendar0, a menubar calendar for MacOS and Windows that I've been working on for the past few months. The app is designed to make calendar management actually accessible without opening a browser every time you need to check your schedule. One of Calendar0's main goals is to eliminate the constant context-switching between multiple calendar accounts and providers. The latest update finally adds Apple Calendar support alongside Google and Microsoft 365, so you can now see all your calendars in a single unified view. I also just shipped bulk operations: you can add…

    I got tired of trying to figure out my vacation balance throughout the year, so I made this website to be a stupid simple solution. It was pretty satisfying to bang it out over a weekend. * not all holidays are supported, and probably will do some custom-holiday-in-cookie functionality, but this is a common US list. * basically only looks good on 'normal' sized browsers

    It's just a whimsical little portfolio piece. I just missed putting stickers on a calendar like I did when I was a kid. The calendar is my own and it contains some clever code. (Note how the "leftover" days on the previous and next month behave.) There's also a O(1) double-ended queue behind the UIScrollView so that there's the illusion of infinite scrolling with only 5 objects.

    Hey Hacker News! To test implementing AI (and paywalls tbh) in software for the first time, I made this simple calendar creator (no mail address required) that lets a person create a calendar based on his needs and availability and export it to his calendar app, pdf or receive a daily newsletter with his daily tasks (and more). After wrestling with different models (f.e. with huggingface) and encountering different problems, I decided to use ChatGPT's models, tune them a little and see how the result works out. ChatGPT's low price enables me to give users the opportunity to create calendars…

    Hi guys, This is my first time building something from scratch so go easy on me. I've always used to-do lists to keep me productive and stave off anxiety (not sure why they work so well for me but they do). I get kinda annoyed at the to-do list apps on the app stores because they move tasks to the bottom of the list when you tick them off. Some people may like that, but it annoys the shit out of me, because I like to feel a sense of progression as I go down through the list over the course of the day. So this was borne out of my frustration really. I also made it browser-based so it's easy…

    Yeah I know I hate the name too but I wasn't about to pay up for odyssey.app. It's an open source project so feel free to poke around with it / fork it. I talk about it more on the marketing website, but a few of us have been using it for the past month and kind of fun. Obviously there will be a slew of issues / feedback / nits that come from this, but c'est la vie. GH is here: https://github.com/johnlarkin1/odozi

    Hi HN, just launched this last night before NYE. Wanted to make something super simple for tracking how my day goes on 2026. My sister has been using this to help her with her DBT therapy, so I hope this will be helpful for people who looks to understand how their year goes. Feedbacks or feature requests are most welcome :)

    For years I've used paper and a printed clock to organise my day. Found it way better than any list or timeline app. Played around a bit and made a digital clone to speed things up: Reassign.app (best experience is on desktop) Anyone else think of their day as a circle rather than a list? edit: it also has MCP integration (https://reassign.app/api/mcp) — my Claude already connects to Linear and Calendar, so I use it to start and plan my day. I can quickly get a skeleton of a day out and then polish until done.

    I made this app because I have such flexible schedule that I needed a tool where I can organise and structure my days efficiently. All apps I tried had title based events (you had to type manually what you want to do each time). My app is based on the premise that most people do the same activities/routines every day: So when creating an event in this app, the user can just select the from the pre-created activities/routines instead of having to type it in manually. After you download the app you get 1 day completely free testing, after that you can use the code LAUNCH for another…

    Hi Everyone, I created a mobile app called Accumoo, and I would appreciate it if y'all can have a look, download and give me a favorable review. Lots of blood, sweat, tears and love went into this app, and I hope you LOVE it as much as I do - it's the app I always needed and wanted. Anyhow, I've been a Rails developer and Software Engineer for a long time, and this is my first stab at a mobile app. It's a "habit tracker" app on steroids that's just fun to use - syncs across devices, local-first architecture - and an easter egg game for good measure. Help a disabled vet out and give it a go.…

    I'm documenting everything about my process. From learning to code, to building the app, and all the way to my outreach efforts. I'm learning as I go and sharing it with everyone who's not a programer, and is daunted to build a software on their own. Trust me. If I can do it, anyone can! You can find my updates on: https://Claritask.com ...as well as video updates on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdmqmifW4kIcPclXigay1dQ Would love to hear your feedback on my progress and if you have any suggestions on what I can do better. There's so many task managers out…

    Hello HN! Long time lurker and Apple user here. I made this simple tool to load .ics files client-side and open it in-browser so Apple's iCal integration enables adding it to their calendar. To say the app is barebones is an understatement: I made it in 2 minutes. Visual enhancements might come.

    My partner and I do a lot of planning around things like holidays and trips, which involves a mix of firm, tentative, and overlapping plans, and normal calendars are the wrong fidelity for that kind of planning. We often found ourselves drawing on top of screenshots of calendars with tools like Miro or even printing out calendars we could draw on. We're both product designers, and so we're used to working in low fidelity tools like Excalidraw and FigJam. We decided to try and make a low-fidelity equivalent for calendars, and built Walnut. It's just lines and stickies, with a few different…

    Hey, I'm an iOS engineer who took on the seemingly mad task of creating a new grocery app in this day and age. Yes, there are plenty out there, but I promise there's a method to my madness. It's born out of a personal need – my wife would rattle off a list of things to buy, and I'd struggle to remember them all. She's not a fan of typing into apps or shared notes, and honestly, neither am I when it's about speed. The epiphany was that all existing grocery apps have an input problem. They're not catering to the way real people communicate about errands. So, I built HoneyDo to solve my own…
