Desktop iCalendar Lite

Keeping track of time can be done with any calendar, electronic or inked on a piece of paper. To manage events, tasks, and activities, you'll need a different type of calendar. Desktop iCalendar Lite brings the layout of a classic-looking calendar to your screen, but with space for events and to-do lists. If you are in need of a tool that can highlight specific dates and remind you about activities and responsibilities, you are free to give it a try.

Google Calendar, iCloud calendar, Thunderbird Lightning are complex calendars with time and task-management features as well. Desktop iCalendar Lite can sync with any of those services and display their events and to-do lists. Of course, you can always choose to create a local calendar as an ICS file and only use that, but in case you have already built calendars, why not sync them up, right?

Besides the calendar layout, the app includes additional events and to-do tabs. If for whatever reason you want to remove those tabs, you can do that and bring them, up later.

Creating an event requires you to fill in a couple of details. A new event must contain a summary, a beginning/end date and hour, a location, and description. You can assign the event to a category, which will add an icon to it, and set up an alarm to remember about what's to come.

The same goes for to-do entries, as they are similar in architecture but include options such as status, priority, and due time and completion percentage.

Looks are not the most important aspect when it comes to calendars. Still, the app comes with eight different skins and a layout editor that allows one to freely customize the UI, changing fonts, background, button design, colors, menu placement, and more.

To sum things up, Desktop iCalendar Lite is not just a basic calendar, it's a bit more than that. Sporting synchronization features and being highly customizable regarding its looks, the tool might come in handy for anyone interested in managing tasks and events without having to resort to clunky applications or fully-fledged task managers.
