Light Calendar

Light Calendar is a software tool that facilitates a user-friendly desktop calendar which enables you to schedule upcoming events, receive reminders, and customize colors.

The setup procedure doesn't take long. However, we must mentione a couple of aspects. Firstly, you must have the .NET Framework platform installed. Secondly, although this isn't said during installation, Light Calendar gets automatically integrated into the Windows autostart sequence. This can be later disabled from the settings panel.

The tool runs in the systray and gets minimized there. It permits you to carry on with your normal desktop activity without any interruptions. As for the interface, it's wrapped in a clean window with a neatly organized layout, where you can explore any date of the calendar.

The current day is marked by a yellow box. New events can be put together for any date of the calendar, whether it's in the past or in the future. It's necessary to specify the event type and highlight color, in order to set it apart from other kinds of meetings or tasks.

Moreover, you can make the event recurrent (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) and set a reminder on date, one or three days, one or two weeks, or one month.

It's possible to schedule multiple events on the same day, edit event properties, jump to the current day's events, remove the app's entry from the system startup lineup, stop it from hiding automatically when it loses focus, modify the default hotkey for bringing up its main window to the screen, as well as set the default color and reminder.

It worked smoothly in our tests and had minimal impact on the computer's performance. However, we've noticed that it doesn't implement an option for deleting events. Nevertheless, Light Calendar provides you with a simple and intuitive calendar for scheduling events, and it can be used by anyone with ease.
