MagnifiCal is a calendar for Mac that you navigate by zooming.
- One continuous canvas. Pinch to glide from the whole year down to a single day — the calendar re-forms as you zoom instead of switching between separate screens.
- The big picture and the small one. Trips, deadlines, and long-running plans stretch across the year view; your day's schedule sits on an hourly timeline.
- Notes and to-dos, everywhere. Every event and every day can hold notes and checklists, and dashboards gather them up: a to-do list, a notepad, and a timeline for each of your projects.
- Your calendar stays yours. Everything lives on your own Mac and syncs to your other devices through your own iCloud. No accounts, no servers, no tracking.
- Plays well with your other calendars. See your Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook events alongside your own — hide, recolor, or annotate them without changing the originals.
- An optional AI assistant. Ask questions about your schedule or have it make changes for you. It's entirely optional and off until you set it up.
- At home on your devices. Works on macOS 15 and later, with a companion iPhone app for viewing your calendar on the go.
- Download it free from the releases page — it keeps itself up to date.
- Or get it on the Mac App Store — the same app; buying it is a way to support development.
- The iPhone companion is available through TestFlight.
MagnifiCal is free, open-source software, and contributions are always welcome — bug reports, ideas, or code. See CONTRIBUTING.md to get started; issues labeled good first issue are a good place to begin.
