Release history

Every release of Calendrop, newest first, with its notes as written on GitHub. A patch release, such as v0.1.1, is folded into the release it fixes, such as v0.1.0.

v0.4.0

On GitHub

Breaking change

The app is now identified as io.github.calendrop-app.calendrop. macOS treats it as a different app from earlier versions, so after updating, sign in to each account again and allow Calendrop in the menu bar if macOS asks. Nothing kept by earlier versions is carried over.

v0.2.0

On GitHub

Calendrop no longer covers your call. When a meeting comes due while you are already in one, the cut-in steps aside instead of hiding the call — or the screen you are sharing.

Install

brew install --cask calendrop-app/tap/calendrop

Or download Calendrop-0.2.0-macos-arm64.zip below, unzip it and move Calendrop.app into /Applications. Calendrop is self-signed rather than notarized, so allow its first launch in System Settings › Privacy & Security. It needs macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon.

What's new

  • Cut-ins during a call. While any app uses the microphone or the camera, you count as in a call, whichever app it runs in. Calendrop only checks whether the devices are running and never records anything, so it asks for no permission.
  • Choose how a call is interrupted in Settings › General › During a call: full screen as before, a compact card, or nothing at all — and whether a cut-in held back during the call covers every screen once it ends. By default, a compact card appears during the call and the screen is covered afterwards, unless the meeting is already over.
  • The compact card carries the same Join buttons and press-and-hold dismiss, and never takes the keyboard from your call. It drops in at the top centre of the main screen by default; pick another edge or corner in Settings › Appearance › Compact card, and try it there with Try Compact.

See https://calendrop-app.github.io/ for the documentation.

v0.2.1

On GitHub

Calendrop asks for your Keychain once, not once per account. Every account's sign-in now lives in a single Keychain item, so macOS asks at most once per launch however many accounts you have.

Install

brew install --cask calendrop-app/tap/calendrop

Or download Calendrop-0.2.1-macos-arm64.zip below, unzip it and move Calendrop.app into /Applications. Calendrop is self-signed rather than notarized, so allow its first launch in System Settings › Privacy & Security. It needs macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon.

What's new

  • One Keychain prompt for all accounts. Calendrop reads its sign-ins once per launch. Choosing Always Allow keeps it quiet until the next update.
  • Turning the prompt down is remembered for the rest of the launch, instead of asking again on every refresh. Signing in asks again.
  • Upgrading from 0.2.0 asks once for each account's old sign-in, the first time only, and moves them into the new item.
  • Removing an account now tells you if this Mac could not drop its sign-in.

See https://calendrop-app.github.io/ for the documentation.

v0.1.0

On GitHub

The first release of Calendrop: a menu bar app that shows your next Google Calendar meeting and, shortly before it starts, covers every screen until you join it or deliberately dismiss it.

Install

brew install --cask calendrop-app/tap/calendrop

Or download Calendrop-0.1.0-macos-arm64.zip below, unzip it and move Calendrop.app into /Applications. Calendrop is self-signed rather than notarized, so allow its first launch in System Settings › Privacy & Security. It needs macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon.

What it does

  • Shows the next meeting and a countdown in the menu bar, and today's and tomorrow's meetings in the menu, each with its details, a join link and the event in Google Calendar.
  • Cuts in on every display a few minutes before a meeting, above full-screen apps, with Join as the largest target. Dismissing without joining takes a press and hold, or ⌃⌥⌘⎋.
  • Reads several Google accounts at once, read-only, with a label, a colour and a choice of calendars for each.
  • Marks meetings you answered "maybe" to or have not answered, and can leave them out of cut-ins.
  • Keeps its settings on iCloud Drive for your other Macs; sign-in tokens stay in each Mac's Keychain.
