ForeCal: a menu bar calendar that looks ahead

What's next, at a glance

The menu bar tells you what matters right now, so you rarely need to open anything.

Everything your day needs, nothing it doesn't

ForeCal shows the calendars you already have in macOS Calendar: iCloud, Google, Exchange, and more.

🚗

Leave-by times

Drive times from Apple Maps, with traffic, for in-person events in the next two days. A Directions button opens the route.

Weather for every day

Highs, lows, and the chance of rain, 16 days out, right in your agenda.

🗓️

Grid and list in sync

Scroll the agenda and the month follows. Click a day and the agenda jumps there. Headers stay pinned.

🕒

A now line

Today's list shows the current time and how long until your next event.

🎨

Yours to tune

Choose which calendars appear and the color for today. Light and dark mode follow your Mac.

Private by design

No account, no server, no analytics. ForeCal only reads your calendars; it never changes them.

What leaves your Mac

Weather: your location, rounded to about 1 km, goes to Open-Meteo.
Drive times: your location and the addresses of upcoming in-person events go to Apple Maps.
Everything else, from titles to notes to attendees, stays on your Mac.
