Geek Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/day-o-clock-replacement-mac.jpg" alt="Day-O Clock and Calendar Menu Bar Replacement for Mac OS X" title="day-o-clock-replacement-mac" width="550" height="297" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23352" /></p> <p>One of my longstanding peeves with Mac OS X is the lack of a pull-down calendar in the menubars default Date & Time settings. If you click on the time, instead of seeing something useful like a calendar or more date/time details, you just have options to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/05/27/show-analog-clock-in-the-mac-menu-bar/">set an analog clock</a> or open Preferences. I’ll stop complaining, because now a little app called Day-O solves that problem. Day-O offers an attractive and functional replacement to OS X’s Date & Time, plus it’s free to download.</p> <p><a href="http://shauninman.com/assets/downloads/Day-O.zip">Download Day-O now (direct link)</a> or <a href="http://shauninman.com/archive/2011/10/20/day_o_mac_menu_bar_clock">visit the developers site</a></p> <p>For best results, I’d recommend disabling the default clock and just using Day-O, here’s how:</p> <ul> <li>Open “System Preferences” from the Apple menu</li> <li>Choose “Date & Time” under the ‘System’ group</li> <li>Click on the “Clock” tab and uncheck the box next to “Show date and time in menu bar”</li> </ul> <p>Now you won’t need to open up iCal every time you just want to see what day of the week a certain falls on. And yes, you can disable the little miniature date icon too. <span id="more-23350"></span> <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/dayo-free-menu-bar-calendar-mac.png" alt="Day-O is a free menu bar calendar and clock replacement for Mac OS X" title="dayo-free-menu-bar-calendar-mac" width="400" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23351" /></p> <p>Random trivia: the app is named after a Harry Belefonte song.
