AMP Calendar

All activities are wrapped around time and there are tons of methods to analyze this resource and use it to your advantage. Needless to say that a calendar offers a large view over past and future days, and with the help of AMP Calendar you can keep one closeby just in case you need to plan ahead.

The application is up and running before you realize since it only takes a little while to get it installed on your computer. You might also want to check out Portable AMP Calendar which saves you even this small effort of getting it deployed.

A large calendar shows up on launch, which isn’t really anything to make it stand out from the crowd. You’re free to navigate through months and years in the same manner you interact with the system calendar, or jump directly to a specific year by simply punching values inside a dedicated field.

Truth be told, there’s little practicality the application brings about, at least because of the lack of options to configure reminders or alerts. It mostly serves as a means of viewing time, and there seems to be a lot of effort invested in making this happen.

In other words, the application is full of small visual tweaks and methods of having the calendar displayed on your desktop. You can force it to stay in the tray area and bring it up when needed through hotkeys, or interacting with the icon. When on the desktop, layer position options make it stay on top of everything else.

Moreover, you can choose to customize the way all elements look by selecting different colors for both font and display elements. Unfortunately, there’s no built-in option to save a picture with your custom calendar, but having a virtual printer installed helps you bypass this issue because there’s a print function you can use.

In conclusion, Portable AMP Calendar comes with good intentions, but the target it wants to hit is somewhere lost in content. Navigation benefits from a comfortable set of controls, but no reminders can be set. Whereas for customization, you’re able to change various visual styles, but limited by the poor set of export options.
