iStat Menus
June 6, 2008 – 8:51 amiStat Menus just got updated yesterday. It is a free utility that puts various tools in the menubar. I don’t know if their clock/calendar is a new feature or not, but I just discovered it, and it is awesome.
I have occasionally found myself needing a calendar, and didn’t want to launch iCal or google calendar. This gives you one click access to a month view. Additionally, you can show the day of the month in the menubar (I had been using the built in clock. You have to click on that clock to see the date).
The only thing I’d change would be to add flashing time separators. I just added the seconds. It is a very old habit, and I haven’t even done this in years, but I like to have something that is always visible and changing so I know if the computer is locked up or just momentarily unresponsive.
