Finally an app that does not ship a whole browser alongside it.

Discovered this calendar by accident, on the #mimestream reddit. Great piece of software for those who use Google Calendar either through workspace or ordinary GMail account! Thanks!

There's a new calendar app with a "Mimestream feel". Taking a Google service and making a native Mac App to utilize it. It's still in beta but I think it will get there.

First of all great work with the application so far, just got the invitation and still testing. Finally a decent MacOS calendar app!

I don't know how I stumbled across this app but I am so grateful that I did. I use Mime Stream for emails and kept on thinking to myself, I wish there was a really well-made Mac-native app for calendar just like I see MimeStream for my mail.

06 questions / quick answers
01What is hora Calendar?
hora is a native macOS desktop app for Google Calendar. It connects directly to the Google Calendar API — no CalDAV, no web views, no Electron. Built entirely in SwiftUI for speed and a native feel.
02Who is hora for?
Anyone on macOS who uses Google Calendar and wants a faster, keyboard-friendly experience. It's especially useful if you manage multiple Google accounts or prefer native apps over browser tabs.
03How is hora different from Fantastical or Notion Calendar?
hora focuses exclusively on Google Calendar and uses the official API for direct access. There's no CalDAV translation layer, which means faster sync and full feature support like Google Meet link creation. It's also built purely in SwiftUI with no Electron or web technologies.
04Is hora free?
hora is a paid app. There's a limited-time one-time purchase for $49.90, or a $29.99/year subscription — both include Family Sharing.
05When does hora launch?
hora is on the Mac App Store now. The iOS/iPad app is coming next — subscribe to the newsletter above for a heads-up when the iOS/iPadOS beta is ready.
06Does hora work with Outlook or iCloud calendars?
Not at the moment. hora is built specifically for Google Calendar. Support for other providers may come in the future, but the focus right now is on making the best possible Google Calendar experience on macOS.
