FRSCalendar

It’s important to always be aware of time and date, especially if you have to face many deadlines in your domain of activity. Sure enough, Windows already comes with a default method of staying up to date with these values, but there are also multiple third-party alternatives like FRSCalendar which might be more suitable to your needs.

The application first takes you through a few steps in order to get the application perfectly deployed on your computer. Note, however, that your computer needs to be equipped with .NET Framework, but there’s a high chance it’s already there, because it comes in the default set of features delivered with modern Windows iterations.

A pretty compact window shows up on launch, with the possibility to resize it to get a better view, and even move it to a suitable location. Sadly, there’s no possibility to make it stay on top of everything else, in case you need to compare with other values, but there’s not enough space to organize windows.

The overall interface is clean, and doesn’t come with any particular visual styles. The upper section is fitted with navigation controls to move back and forth through months and years. Most of the space is where the calendar is displayed, showing the current month, with the current day highlighted.

The options section allows you to copy the long and short date value in case you want it somewhere else. It’s also possible to print the current month, and even create a HTM equivalent. Although the application comes with several indications on some holidays, it’s not possible to add any reminders, not even in the form of plain text.

Bottom line is that FRSCalendar is a pretty straightforward calendar tool overall. It pinpoints some major holidays, but practicality is highly questionable since you can’t add your own comments or reminders, even though it does let you print, or save a HTM file.
