Product Description:

Displays the user's schedule for the day as a Mac OS X Status Item (appearing as a system-wide menu in the right side of the menu bar). Event information is read from vCalendar files, like those written by Apple's iCal application. iCal or a similar vCalendar editor is required to produce and maintain the files, as MiCal only reads, and does nothing to create, the calendar information. The application name is pronounced "My Cal."

This version of MiCal is donationware ($10 seems reasonable) but the release will likely be shareware. Registration now will cover through at least all 1.x versions.

The application displays the title and start time (or "All Day") of today's events, and optionally the name of the calendar each came from. Allows you to select what calendars will be displayed.

Note that the download is provided via .Mac, so if you are having problems downloading I may have reached my bandwidth limit for that hour. Please wait an hour and try again.

What's new in this version:

Beta now expires March 15, 2003. All previous betas have expired as of now.
Preference to display color or black & white menu icon. Defaults to b&w.
Reorganized menu to look surprisingly similar to the iSync menuling.
Beta expiration now throws up an alert dialog before quitting MiCal, rather than only writing to the console and quitting (with no notice to most users).

Known issues:

Since Jan 1, 2003 MiCal sometimes does not update its menu icon until noon rather than midnight. Quit and relaunch MiCal as a work-around.
This version does not properly display Unicode or escape code (tab, carriage return) characters in your event names. This is a high priority for a future release.
Somewhat rare issue with timezones. See "Known Issues" in the Read Me for details.
See Read Me file for other minor issues.
This version expires after March 15, 2003. Stay tuned for new versions long before then.

Operating System Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2
