Calendar Year Simple

Time is a concept we created, but the modern world and activities are heavily tied to it. As such, you might frequently need to plan your events and activities, and a calendar greatly comes in handy. In case you’re looking for a straightforward one with a clear view of the entire year, Calendar Year Simple can help you out.

Since there’s no setup involved to make the application work, you can see what it’s all about as soon as it reaches your computer, but also to have it deployed on a thumb drive in case you want to have it at hand, regardless of the computer you’re using. Just make sure that the target PC is equipped with .NET Framework.

All the application has to offer is found in a classic window frame, split into multiple sections, each representing a month’s view. The window can be resized to fit in any desktop location, and even repositioned. Moreover, you can make it stay on top of everything else, just so you don’t lose focus of important dates.

You start off from the current year, and there’s a set of navigation controls to go back and forth in time, but the exact value can’t be edited. In case you wander off too far away, you can always return to the current year with the press of a button.

In case you want to have it ready by the time you reach the desktop, there’s a built-in option to make it run with Windows. Unfortunately, there’s no possibility to add any events, so the calendar is purely informative. The application does highlight some dates, but only the first days of the month.

Taking everything into account, we come to the conclusion that Calendar Year Simple is exactly what the name suggests, a straightforward calendar. Sure enough, navigation is pretty comfortable, but there’s no possibility to put a pin on important events, and not even to print it on a sheet of paper.
