Itsycal
Itsycal is a lightweight macOS menu bar calendar that shows upcoming events and gives quick access to dates and calendar actions.
What is Itsycal?
Itsycal is a native macOS menu bar calendar app that helps you check dates and view calendar events without opening a full calendar window. It is designed for people who want a small, always-available calendar in the menu bar for everyday scheduling and quick date lookup. The app integrates with the Mac Calendar app, can display events from selected calendars, and lets you create events or jump to specific dates from its compact interface. It also supports joining virtual meetings from calendar items, showing ISO week numbers, and using keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation. Users can customize the menu bar display, switch themes including Dark Mode, and choose how much calendar information is visible. Itsycal is published by Sanjay Madan and is focused on simple, efficient calendar access for Mac users.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Itsycal is a legitimate calendar utility for macOS and its menu bar behavior matches its purpose. To show your events and create calendar entries, it may need access to your calendars, which is expected for this kind of app. Review calendar permissions in macOS if you do not want a menu bar app reading event details, especially for work or personal calendars with sensitive information.
Recommendation: Keep Itsycal if you use its menu bar calendar or event shortcuts regularly, since removing it will take away that quick scheduling view and calendar access. If you no longer want a menu bar calendar, you can remove it and rely on the built-in Calendar app instead.
