Design Review

The design of Sidebar Calendar is highly praised for its cleverness, minimalist aesthetic, and seamless integration into the macOS environment, with users noting it 'fits in perfectly on your desktop' and 'looks like it should be a native feature.' Its ability to provide a constant 'timeline' view of the day without being intrusive is a significant usability advantage, addressing the need to frequently check calendars. Reviewers appreciate its customizability, including the option for light/dark themes and placement. Suggestions for future design enhancements include a transparency mode to match macOS desktop widgets, an option to hide the menubar icon, and a quick expand/collapse/hide feature for screen sharing.
