  • 5. Who would not enjoy this calendar?

    Desktop Calendar takes a clutter-free approach and embraces subtle looks, which its patrons like.

In other words, this isn’t the calendar for you if you want everything a calendar could possibly have.

  • 6. How customizable is the calendar?

    Desktop Calendar may look pretty minimalistic from the outside (which is definitely pleasing) but it also supports customizations. For instance, you can fiddle with the calendar’s background, colors, cells, rows, fonts, opacity, separation of months, etc. Chosen festivals would get displayed as common holidays.

  • 9. What features does this calendar miss?

    The calendar is definitely more than just a rudimentary desktop calendar. However, if they were a few more features, the calendar would have been even better. For instance, the notification system could have been better and there should have been the option to group or color-code tasks.

  • 10. Will this replace a paid calendar app?

    That again, depends on the person using this calendar. Quite a lot of people would be happy with this calendar. But people who want to get a lot more things done or want their calendar to have every possible feature under the sun would head toward paid calendars.
