Looking for a Stand-Alone Calendar App?

Posted by Cliff on from the marking-time dept.

Chadduss asks: "I don't know about all of you but I've been looking for a good calendar application for quite sometime. I have used the Mozilla calendar extension for Thunderbird but I had problems with it several times. Enter Mozilla Sunbird. That's right, another bird! It's still only version 0.1.1 but I for one hope to see it come out on top."

    For people wanting to check out a nice, sub-1MB calendar app, check out Rainlendar. Transparency, to-do lists, skinnable, free, and very light-weight. Not that I'm against what Mozilla is trying to do, but why bother waiting for Sunbird to creep up to 1.0 when you can get a fully-featured, stable app right now?

    Disclaimer: I don't work for, nor am I associated with Rainlendar. For the record, I use iCal with my YzDock (OH NO APPLE'S GONNA SUE ME) dock.
