## What it is
LunarBar is a free, open-source macOS menu bar app that displays a compact calendar with Chinese lunar calendar dates, public holidays, and system calendar/reminders integration. It is built in Swift with a deliberately minimalist design.

## Use cases
- show a lunar calendar in the macOS menu bar
- check Chinese lunar dates and public holidays at a glance
- view a compact calendar without opening a full app
- see system calendar events and reminders from the menu bar
- replace heavyweight calendar apps with a minimal menubar tool

## When to choose
- you use a Mac daily and want a lunar calendar in the menu bar
- you need public holiday info in a compact popup
- you prefer extremely lightweight, minimalist native apps
- you want a free, open-source, sandboxed and notarized alternative

## When to avoid
- you need an iOS or widget version
- you want rich scheduling, event creation, or heavy calendar features
- you need Windows or Linux support
- you expect extensive customization beyond the minimalist design
