Rainlendar 2 – The Coolest Little Desktop Calendar

If you’re looking for a light weight calendar with an integrated to-do application that’s free, Rainlendar 2 is probably the best choice.

The application takes a little over 25MB of memory, fully loaded, and sits anywhere you want on the desktop with a very pretty transparent interface. Rainlendar can list all the events for the day in a neat list, and can also list all of your To-Do notes as well. Check out the screenshot below.

The days marked with a star indicate an event or activity on that day. There’s an option to keep an alarm for the event, which can go off a little while before the actual start of the event. Rainlendar can also contain more than one calendars, for example for your personal and business lives. You can assign categories to events, such as ‘Birthday’ or ‘Anniversary’ which means that the event will recur every year.

The pro version of the software has the ability to sync with Google Calendars. A very handy feature. For me, the best feature in the pro version is the ability to show Outlook calendar events, since I sync all my devices with Outlook. Makes me contemplate buying the pro version, but the EUR 9.95 tag is a little too much in my opinion.
