SideSchedule
A day-calendar sidebar for macOS that keeps its own strip of screen, the way the Dock does.

Release notes
Most calendar apps show you your day and then disappear behind whatever window you open next. SideSchedule stays. It reserves a strip at the left or right edge of your screen, and any window that slides under it gets pushed back out, so your next meeting is always in view.
What you get
- Your real calendar. Reads and edits Apple Calendar, which means iCloud, Google, Exchange and CalDAV all work. Drag to reschedule, drop a file or text to block time.
- Meeting notes as Markdown files. Type during the call; each note saves as a
.mdfile with YAML frontmatter in a folder you pick. Obsidian and Logseq read them as-is. - One-click join for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and FaceTime, straight into the native app.
- Next free 30 minutes in the header, so you don't scan the day for a gap.
- Auto-hide to a thin strip that still shows the join button and a countdown.
- Local-first. No account, no analytics, no telemetry.
Works on macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon and Intel, in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
