CalendropThe meeting reminder you can't ignore.
Calendrop sits in your Mac's menu bar with your next Google Calendar meeting. Shortly before it starts, it pulls a blind down over every screen, and leaves it there until you join the meeting or deliberately dismiss it.
Free and open source · macOS 14 or later · Apple silicon
A banner is too easy to wave away.
Deep in focused work, a notification slides in at the corner of the screen and slides out again, and you look up ten minutes into the meeting. A reminder that can be dismissed by reflex is not a reminder.
Calendrop interrupts for real. The cut-in covers everything, on every display, and Escape does nothing. The easy way out is the one you want — the Join button — and ending it without joining takes intent.
Made for a day split across accounts and screens
Cuts in on every screen
Before a meeting, Calendrop covers every display — above full-screen apps, the Dock and the menu bar, on every Space — until you deal with it.
Joining is the big button
The largest thing on the cut-in opens the meeting's Meet, Zoom, Teams or Webex link. With one meeting, Return does it too. Dismissing without joining takes a press and hold.
Every account, one timeline
Add your work, client and personal Google accounts. Their meetings merge into one list, each with its own label and colour, and an event shared between them appears once.
Follows your desk
Dock, undock, plug in a projector or change resolution: the cut-in is rebuilt to cover exactly the screens you have now.
Read-only access
Calendrop asks Google only to see your calendar list and your events. It never creates, changes or answers anything.
Credentials stay on the Mac
Settings can follow you between Macs through iCloud Drive. Sign-in tokens never leave the Keychain of the Mac that signed in.
Install
Calendrop needs macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon. It is signed but not notarized, so the first launch has to be allowed once in System Settings › Privacy & Security — here is how.
Homebrew
Install and update it from the Calendrop tap.
brew install --cask calendrop-app/tap/calendropYour calendar stays between your Mac and Google
- Read-only. Calendrop asks to see your calendar list and events, nothing else.
- No servers. Your Mac talks to Google directly. There is no Calendrop server, account or backend.
- No tracking. No analytics, telemetry or ads, and nothing is sold or shared.
- Tokens stay put. Sign-in tokens live only in the Keychain of the Mac that signed in.
