Grila

Grila is a fantastic tool for anyone who loves to use their keyboard. This handy calendar app is perfect for Mac users because it lets you check dates and events without ever touching your mouse or trackpad. That means you can keep your hands on the keyboard, making everything smoother and faster.

Quick Access to Your Calendar

You can pull up the calendar super easily by just hitting ⌥\ (that's the Right Option + backslash). The best part? You can change this hotkey to whatever works best for you! Once the calendar is open, navigation is simple—just use the arrow keys. If you want to jump between months quickly, hold down Shift. Typing in numbers or letters will take you straight to a specific month or date.

See Your Events at a Glance

If you hit Enter, you'll see a list of upcoming events pop up on the right side of the screen. You get to pick which calendars are shown, and everything is color-coded, making it easy to spot what's important. Plus, if you press - or =, you can switch between different views: a standard three-month view, a smaller one-month view, or even a full-year calendar!

Customize Your Experience

The app also features light and dark modes along with three themes that let you tweak how dates are displayed in your calendar. And guess what? You can choose where the calendar pops up on your screen too!

Color Adjustments Made Easy

You have total control over UI colors! Adjust contrast, saturation, and hue—you don't get that level of customization in most apps out there. Want smoother animations? You can make them more fluid or almost instant based on your preferences.

Pinned Calendar for Quick Reference

If you're juggling multiple tasks but need quick access to your calendar, Grila lets you pin it to your desktop in a semi-transparent mode. This way, you can see it while focusing on other windows! And yes, you can adjust how transparent it is.
