Rainlendar
Customizable Desktop Calendar
Rainlendar is a desktop calendar application designed to keep events and tasks visible on the user’s desktop without being intrusive. It solves the problem of needing to open a separate application or browser tab to check schedules, by displaying calendars, events, and task lists directly on the desktop background. The application runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and uses the standard iCalendar format for data storage, making it easy to transfer events between different calendar applications.
The software supports separate lists for events and tasks, with alarms that can include multiple reminders and snooze options. Users can display multiple calendar windows simultaneously, customize the appearance with skins, and extend functionality using Lua scripts. The Pro version adds integration with third-party services such as Google Calendar, Office 365, CalDAV, and network shared calendars, as well as CSV import/export. A widget addon for the Shadow4 skin provides features like a photo frame, countdown, file viewer, weather, and RSS feed reader. The application is localized in over 50 languages.
Rainlendar is aimed at individuals who want a persistent, customizable calendar on their desktop. It is available in two editions: a free Lite version and a Pro version that can be evaluated freely. The Pro version requires a license for continued use, which is a one-time purchase per user. The software is seat-based, with no mention of usage-based pricing or a free plan beyond the Lite edition.
