Rainlendar: Best Desktop Calendar

Rainlendar is yet another program that I fell in love with when I started using it at least 4 years ago. No other desktop calendar software can compare to Rainlendar. Yes, it’s that good. Well, that is just my opinion and the opinion of many others.

It surprises me that a lot of people haven’t heard of Rainlendar when it’s very easy to find. It is a really popular calendar and much nicer than the ones out there. I have watched it improve over the years, too.

A lot of you will be happy to know that it can be run on both Windows and Linux.

Here are several features that Rainlendar has:

• Customizable. There are lots of skins available for downloading to change the look of the calendar, events and to-do lists. You can also change the layout of the calendar and lists any way you like. There are also transparency settings.
• Multiple calendars. Need separate calendars for work and your personal life? Run them both at the same time.
• Importing and exporting events and to-do list tasks.
• Set alarms for any of your events and to-do list tasks.
• Syncing with Outlook calendar and shared calendars. Publishing your calendar online. (Pro version only, which requires a license.)

Rainlendar gets a 5 star rating from me, because of the amount of features and that it is mostly free (Lite and Pro version). The features that require a purchased license are Outlook and network calendars (otherwise it will display [Unregistered] in the Pro version if you do not purchase a license). The creator of this calendar deserves money for the time and energy he has put into it. A couple other reasons for the 5 stars: support is great and the amount of skins available created by many people who are willing to share their work for free.

If you have any questions about Rainlendar, before downloading and installing, see the FAQ and the Forum. If you want to ask a question on the Forum, at least be sure that you’ve searched for the answer first (in both the FAQ and the Forum).

Installing should be very easy as it’s an .exe file that installs everything for you. If you want me to help in any way, leave a comment and I’ll do my best to help you. Otherwise, head on over to Rainlendar and download this awesome calendar!
