iCultus For Mac

OS X comes with a default Calendar application that helps you see reminders, schedule events, and so on. Via the System Preferences, you get to place the current date next to the clock and access the information at a glance.

iCultus is a small OS X application that proposes an alternative solution for viewing the calendar without having to launch the Apple vetted OS X utility. It can display the current date and time in a minimalist manner.

The iCultus capabilities are packed in a status bar menulet where you get to see the calendar for the current month. By default, iCultus places in the status bar only a small icon, but via the Preferences window, you can also choose to include the current date and time, and much more.

Note that the iCultus Preferences can be customized only by using the moment.js format, and you can learn more about the supported strings and setups on the Moment.js website.

You get to use separators or not, and you can include additional details, such as the current week of the year, the day of the week, and even choose to see the Unix timestamp. Just experiment with the syntax available online and find the configuration that matches your needs.

Worth mentioning is that iCultus will not display data about scheduled events: to access the information you must start the OS X Calendar app. However, iCultus does facilitate the action: you get to launch the utility via the iCultus status bar menu.

To conclude, iCultus offers you the possibility to see thorough date and time information directly in the status bar, shows the calendar for the current month in the menulet, and helps you launch the OS X Calendar app in no time.
