It always seemed natural to me to click on the time and date on the Mac Menu Bar in order to view a calendar so I can see future dates. However, even in 2020, Apple still hasn’t included that feature in OS/X. I searched for a lightweight application that can be used to add a simple calendar to your mac menu bar. I didn’t want any fancy features or extra bloat, I just wanted to be able to view the upcoming week. Finally, I found a solution.
InstaCal is an affordable, yet powerful Mac calendar app that puts all your events and reminders right at your fingertips. Always available in your Mac menu bar, InstaCal is quick and convenient and can be opened at any time with configurable keyboard shortcuts. The Calendar app from Qbix, not to be confused with OS X's native Calendar app, is very similar in operation to Itsycal. It's free in the Mac App Store and adds a button to your menu bar.

Shaun Inman (a software developer I’ve been following ever since he wrote the, now discontinued, Mint Analytics Suite) wrote a quick swift app called Day-O that solves the problem of not having quick access to a calendar on the mac.
Day-O is a free, but unmaintained application that can be used to replace the system clock in your mac menu bar. It provides the usual date and time, but also has a feature that displays a simple calendar when it is clicked.

It is a simple and elegant solution if you need quick access to a calendar from your menu bar.
