This little Gregorian-based calendar app promises to bring all your far-flung "Calendars" (Cloud, local, subscribed) together in the form of a color-coded, hard-copy monthly calendar.
Before we start, a word about those ScreenShots in the Preview section shown above. Well, they're not ScreenShots, but rather "PrinterShots" – thumbnail images of a calendar scrunched down to the size requirement of a ScreenShot so as to be depicted here on the App Store. Yes, they look somewhat out-of-sorts here, but on your printer or sent as a PDF, they will look "fabulous".
So, let's get started.
Meet the Anderson family (and their Calendar colors) - Mom (orange), Dad (green), son Blu (blue) and daughter Vi (violet). Mom, the family “calendar-master”, previews her Calendar and Dad's Calendar together (#1, above). No problems, all events fit nicely. Then Mom adds in Calendars for Blu and Vi (#2, above). Tight, but everything fits.
Wait, what? Grandma, who lives in Fresno, is coming for a visit? Probably to keep an eye on grandson Blu while Mom and Dad are busy recreating (golf and tennis camps). Mom adds Grandma's Calendar to the mix - Grandpa too (#3, above). Things get scrunched! (Note the Legend on the right side of the page.)
So, what can be done?
Mom knows what to do. Mom will bifurcate the calendar.
Wait, what?
bi·fur·cate - "to cause to divide into two branches or parts" - Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Mom uses the 'Date Range' feature of the app to render days 1-15 (#4, above), then renders days 16-30 on the back (#5, above). Mission accomplished.
If more calendar "space" is needed, Mom could further narrow the ‘Date Range’ to, say, a single week (#6, above).
Event locations are available in the calendar (#7, above).
Also, weekdays only with a 1-line event description (#8, above).
Also, smaller font size, alternative day numbering and day(s) excluded (#9, above).
Three font sizes are available for calendar event titles. A customized calendar title and a note field are also available.
What paper sizes are supported, you might ask? USLetter? Of course. A4? Yes. Legal? That too. You select the size with the full dimensions becoming the imageable area. If a PDF meets-up with a printer somewhere down the line, just use ‘fit-to-page’ or ‘scale’ to avoid clipping on the margins.
So, what this app did for the Andersons it can do for you. It's free to try - your Calendars, your events, your printer. And the app produces a PDF that you can AirDrop, Email, etc. If it looks good, a nominal IAP (Tier One) will get you on your way.
One final note – this little iPhone app will also run just fine on all Apple silicon Mac devices.
