![]() ![]() ![]() Them work like the inside buttons and move in smaller increments. Those arrows act like Bus圜al 2’s outside buttons Option-click them to make Bus圜al 3 has a Today button on the right side, with one set of arrows on either side. Clicking an inside arrow button moved a small increment (a week, when you were in Month view) and clicking an outside arrow button moved an entire week, month, or year, depending on the view. ![]() On the downside, the menu bar app’s window previously had a white-on-black look that stood out well against light-colored windows now it’s a black-on-white look that I find harder to distinguish from the background of white document windows.Īnother notable interface change is that Bus圜al used to have a pair of arrow buttons on each side of the Day/Week/Month/Year/List button group at the top. It now has date-based navigation and shows the upcoming weather. (At least you can still type “10p” for 10 PM.) BusyMac tells me they’re looking at bringing Bus圜al 2’s behavior back in an update.īus圜al’s menu bar app has also received a redesign, adding a mini-month view that gives an impression of how busy you’ll be based on the density of events. Plus, you could type “1430” for 2:30 PM, but the hour field no longer accepts numbers beyond 12. That no longer works, because Bus圜al 3 separates the hour and month fields in the Info panel, forcing you to type a colon, period, or tab to move from hours to minutes. In Bus圜al 2, you could type “830” for 8:30 AM. Sadly, it has become a bit harder to enter event times. If you find anything about the new look jarring, play with the options in Bus圜al > Preferences > Appearance, and don’t forget to check out the numerous commands in the View menu. Since many interface preferences are personal, Bus圜al 3 gives you even more control over the details, so you can choose among different banner styles, control on which side of an event’s name its time appears in Month view listings, and tweak the size of the text in the Calendar list sidebar. The big change in Bus圜al 3 is the user interface, which BusyMac refined to be more modern, with improved typography and layout. Bus圜al is faster, cleaner, and more obvious than Calendar, while providing a superset of Calendar’s features.įor instance, Bus圜al supports the to-do items that Apple exiles to the Reminders app, offers a menu bar companion app for quick schedule checks, provides integrated weather displays, and has a List view that can be a big help when scanning through scores of events.īus圜al 2 shipped in October 2012, and while BusyMac has pushed out numerous free updates since, the company has lately been focused on the just-published Bus圜al 3 for the Mac and the initial release of Bus圜al for iOS (which carries the 3.0 version as well). I’ve never made any bones about the fact that I dislike using Apple’s Calendar app, and have long preferred Bus圜al from BusyMac (which is run by John Chaffee and Dave Riggle the same guys behind the venerable Now Up-to-Date calendar of yesteryear). #1651: Dealing with leading zeroes in spreadsheet data, removing ad tracking from ckbk.#1652: OS updates, DPReview shuttered, LucidLink cloud storage.#1653: Apple Music Classical review, Authory service for writers, WWDC 2023 dates announced.1654: Urgent OS security updates, upgrading to macOS 13 Ventura, using smart speakers while temporarily blind.#1655: 33 years of TidBITS, Twitter train wreck, tvOS 16.4.1, Apple Card Savings, Steve Jobs ebook. ![]()
