Dateline: An Easy Way to Stay On Top of Your Schedule

If you’re a busy small business owner dealing with a hectic schedule, here’s a useful tool that can help you stay on top of what’s happening. Dateline is a nifty little app for Mac computers that displays a linear calendar right on your desktop that is automatically synced with your iCal program. The current date is identified with a colored dot that makes it easy to see where you are in the month and gives you instant access to your calendar and events.

I use this handy tool every day. Here’s what it looks like on my desktop:

You can move it anywhere on your desktop, customize the text, changed the color of the dot (I currently have red), increase or decrease the width and optionally add a small background around each number to fit in with whatever desktop picture you might have.

You can also set the application act like a normal window on the desktop or make it like it is part of the desktop.

It comes in a free and paid version that includes some advanced features and costs only $4.95. Well worth it, in my opinion.
