Tray Calendar

Tray Calendar is a small Windows application whose purpose is to help you gain access to a small calendar with the aid of a preset hotkey.

Unobtrusive running mode

You can find the program sitting quietly in the system tray without disturbing your activity. It does not reveal popup messages and other types of notifications. Plus, it does not interfere with your work.
A help manual is included in the package in case you need to know more about the tool’s configuration settings. Right-clicks on the utility’s icon from the system tray help you show or hide the calendar on the go.

How it works

Tray Calendar offers you the possibility to check out the date with the aid of a simplistic calendar. You are allowed to go to the next or previous month, jump to the current date no matter what date is selected in the calendar, and view the current day, month, and year displayed at the bottom of the main window.
Other notable options worth being mentioned enable you to click on the utility’s title bar in order to change the view from a single month to a full year or 12 years, go to the next or previous month, as well as press the ‘Esc’ key in order to send the application to the system tray.
Tests have pointed out that Tray Calendar carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so you can keep it running in the background without worrying that it burdens the overall performance of the computer.

Final remarks

To sum things up, Tray Calendar has to offer nothing more than a simplistic package of features for helping you work with a calendar, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. On the downside, you cannot store personal notes in the calendar and set up reminders with custom text messages and sound notifications, just to name a few suggestions.
