CalendarMenu 4
CalendarMenu 4 is a macOS menu bar calendar app that shows upcoming events, reminders, and birthdays at a glance without opening Calendar.
What is CalendarMenu 4?
CalendarMenu 4 is a native macOS productivity app that puts a calendar, reminders, and upcoming event information directly in the menu bar. It helps Mac users keep track of appointments, due reminders, birthdays, and day-to-day scheduling without needing to keep the Calendar or Reminders apps open. The app can show a monthly calendar with markers for events, daily and weekly overviews, and configurable reminder lists filtered by due date or other criteria. It also integrates with macOS calendars, reminders, and contacts so birthdays and scheduled items can be surfaced in one compact view. For users who want faster access from the desktop, it supports widgets and customizable display options in the menu bar. CalendarMenu 4 is designed for people who want a lightweight calendar companion for everyday planning on Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
CalendarMenu 4 uses normal macOS access for its purpose, including permission to read calendars, reminders, and optionally contacts when you want birthdays shown in the app. That access is expected for a menu bar calendar utility. If you no longer want it to show personal schedule information, you can remove those permissions in macOS Privacy settings or stop using the app. Its background presence in the menu bar is also normal for this type of tool.
Recommendation: Keep CalendarMenu 4 if you use its menu bar calendar, reminder, or birthday views as part of your daily planning. If you do not use it, you can remove it to reduce menu bar clutter and stop it from accessing calendar-related data; the main effect is losing its quick at-a-glance scheduling features.
