hello@felixcal.appActivate or recover your license
Activate FelixCal
- Buy FelixCal. Lemon Squeezy emails you a receipt with your license key.
- Click the FelixCal icon in the menu bar and open Settings › License.
- Paste your license key and confirm. Editing and Quick add unlock right away.
Your key works on up to 3 Macs. Repeat the same steps on each one.
Lost your license key?
- Search your inbox for an email from Lemon Squeezy about your FelixCal order.
- Look up your order at Lemon Squeezy's My Orders page with the email address you used to buy.
- Or email hello@felixcal.app from that address and we'll send it again.
Moving to a new Mac?
Enter the same key on the new Mac. If you've already used it on 3 Macs, email us and we'll sort it out.
Troubleshooting
FelixCal shows no events (Calendar access denied)
- Open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Calendars.
- Turn on FelixCal. On macOS 14 and later, choose Full Access so FelixCal can show and add events.
- Quit FelixCal and open it again.
Reminders don't appear
Open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Reminders and turn on FelixCal, then reopen the app.
An account or calendar is missing
FelixCal shows what macOS syncs. Check that the account is added in System Settings › Internet Accounts with Calendars turned on, and that its events appear in Apple Calendar. If Apple Calendar shows them, FelixCal will too.
I can't see the FelixCal icon in the menu bar
On MacBooks with a notch, a crowded menu bar can hide items behind it. Try the shorter icon menu bar style, or quit a few other menu bar apps.
There's no Join button on my meeting
FelixCal looks for Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams links in the event's URL, location or notes. If the link lives somewhere else, such as an attachment, add it to one of those fields.
macOS won't open FelixCal
Make sure you downloaded it from felixcal.app and moved it to your Applications folder. If macOS still blocks it, open System Settings › Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
FelixCal needs macOS 13 Ventura or later
Check your version in Apple menu › About This Mac.
Questions, answered.
What happens when the trial ends?
The trial lasts 7 days. After that the popover keeps working, so you can still see your day. Editing and Quick add pause until you unlock FelixCal with a license.
Which calendars does it work with?
Any calendar your Mac already syncs: iCloud, Google, Exchange and other accounts you've added to macOS. FelixCal reads them through Apple's EventKit, so there is nothing extra to sign in to.
How many Macs can I use it on?
One license covers up to 3 Macs. Use the same license key on each of them.
Do you collect any of my data?
Not through the app. FelixCal has no account, no analytics and no server: your calendars are read on your Mac and never leave it. This website counts visits and clicks with self-hosted, cookieless analytics; the privacy policy has the details.
Does it work with Apple Reminders?
Yes. Today's and overdue reminders from Apple Reminders appear in the popover, and you can tick them off without opening another app.
Which version of macOS do I need?
macOS 13 Ventura or later.
Is FelixCal a subscription?
No. FelixCal costs $6.99 once. There are no tiers and no renewals: every feature is included.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Download it, open it and allow Calendar access. There is no sign-up, email or password.
Is everything included in the free trial?
Yes. The 7-day trial unlocks every feature, so you can try Quick add, Join, Reminders and the menu bar styles before you buy.
How does Quick add work?
Press ⌘N and type the event the way you'd say it, for example "Lunch with Ana tomorrow 1pm 90m /personal". FelixCal picks out the date, time, duration and calendar as you type. Press Return to add it.
Can FelixCal turn a screenshot into an event?
Yes, from FelixCal 1.1. Paste a screenshot with ⌘V, drag an image onto the menu bar icon, choose New from Image… (⇧⌘I) in the gear menu, or right-click an image and pick Services › Add to FelixCal. FelixCal reads the date, time, place and links on your Mac and shows you a prefilled event to check. Boarding passes become "Flight to <city>" with the gate, seat and booking reference in the notes, and bills with a "pay by" date become reminders. It works with PNG, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF and the first page of a PDF. Images are never uploaded, and nothing is added until you confirm.
How does one-click Join work?
FelixCal finds Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams links in an event's URL, location or notes and shows a Join button. It opens the native app if you have it installed. A minute before a meeting with a link, a "Starts in 1 min" card appears; press ⌥⌘J (a global shortcut you can change in Settings) to join.
What can I show in the menu bar?
Choose between just the icon, today's date, or the date plus your next event with a live countdown.
Which keyboard shortcuts are there?
⌘N adds an event, ⌥⌘J joins the next meeting from anywhere (change it in Settings › Shortcuts), ⌘← and ⌘→ change month, T jumps back to today, Tab shows more details and Esc closes the popover.
Does it support dark mode?
Yes. FelixCal follows your Mac's light or dark appearance.
How do I uninstall FelixCal?
Quit FelixCal from its menu, then drag it from Applications to the Bin. Your calendars are untouched because they live in macOS, not in FelixCal.
