FAQ

1. Your app is amazing! But could you please make it look identical to Itsycal?
   No! Go fork yourself!
   Jokes aside, Itsycal is an amazing app and inspired me a lot, but if I wanted my app to be identical, I would not waste my time making another one from scratch.

2. "Calendr" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
   ♻️ The app is not signed, so you have to right-click it and choose "Open" the first time you run it.
   ✨ The app is now signed since v1.12.0

3. The app runs in background but does not appear anywhere
   This is a known (rare) bug, please check how to fix it in:

4. Are you planning on submitting the app to the App Store so Apple can confirm it has no malware?
   ♻️ No, the app is not signed and will never be, unless you pay my Apple Developer Program fee of $99 / year.
   ✨ The app is now signed and notarized by Apple. No immediate plans to submit to App Store though.

5. Does your app collect my person data?
   No, all you see in the app is pure visualization of local data, accessed using native macOS APIs.
   It does submit crash reports and release adoption metrics.

6. Here are 5 languages for you to add to the app
   No, I appreciate your effort but this increases maintenance. Please, only contribute with your main language or corrections to existing languages that you actually speak.

7. Here are several small feature requests / improvements
   No, specially if you have just created your account. This is not how open-source works.

8. I have 2 suggestions and found 2 bugs
   Please, open 4 separate issues, one for each task with detailed explanation, screenshots, drafts or how to reproduce the bug consistently.

9. Can you make your app display a huge flashing notification in the middle of the screen with sound? I forget about my meetings all the time.
   No, this is your specific use case, it will be annoying for everyone else and I won't create a new setting just for you.

10. It would be nice if we could create events from your app
    Yes, it would, but Apple does not provide a native view controller for macOS as they do for iOS and I'm not gonna build a half-baked one from scratch.
