## What it is
Itsycal is a tiny open-source calendar that lives in the macOS menu bar, showing dates and upcoming events as a companion to the Mac Calendar app. It allows creating and deleting events directly from the menu bar popup.

## Use cases
- show a calendar in the mac menu bar
- see upcoming calendar events at a glance
- quickly create or delete calendar events
- replace the mac clock with a date display
- check today's schedule without opening calendar app

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, free menu bar calendar on macOS
- you want event visibility alongside the Apple Calendar app
- you prefer open-source menu bar utilities

## When to avoid
- you need full event editing, not just create/delete
- you need a cross-platform calendar tool
- you need a full-featured calendar application
