- Add an event from the popoverclick any day for a card showing what is on it, with a quick-add form. It writes through EventKit to whichever calendar you pick, so it syncs through that account like anything else. Editing and deleting still hand off to Calendar.app
- Per-calendar visibilityevery calendar listed under its account in settings, each one switchable. Switching one off hides its events and dots throughout Datesy and changes nothing in Calendar.app
- Settings became a real menusix collapsible sections that remember whether you left them open, a live preview of the menu bar clock, searchable city picker, and handoffs to Internet Accounts for adding an account or subscribing to a feed
- Sunrise and sunset were wrong twice overthey were formatted with the device clock instead of the home city's, which put London's sunrise at 9:50am for anyone further east, and the underlying maths was a low-precision approximation drifting up to 3.8 minutes. Rewritten on the full NOAA equations and verified against an independent ephemeris across every city and every day of the year: worst case is now 12 seconds
- Six-row months broke the layoutAugust needs six rows, September five, so the popover changed height between months, and in a six-row month the last row drew straight over the World Clocks divider. The grid is now always six rows and the row below it is sized to fit
- Home city ignored where you areit was hardcoded to London. It now follows your system time zone as you travel, with a manual override, and the city list grew from 46 to 134
- Dark calendar colours were invisiblethe stock holiday feed ships a near-black purple that vanished against the popover. Calendar colours are now clamped into a readable band per appearance, and month dots are keyed by calendar so two dark ones cannot collapse into a single dot
- Launch at login pointed at wherever the app was when you first ran itmove or reinstall the app and login would launch a stale copy, or nothing. It now re-registers when the bundle path changes
- Countdowns clear themselvesa date that has passed leaves the list and sits behind a “past dates” disclosure instead of counting upwards forever
- Native icons throughoutSF Symbols chosen per event kind, holidays and birthdays included, the real Calendar.app icon on the handoffs, and RTL-correct chevrons. Every symbol checked against Apple's own availability data so nothing ships broken to macOS 14
- Selection is a rounded squaretoday and the selected day were circles fighting a grid built from rounded rectangles

This build is signed with an Apple Development certificate rather than a Developer ID, and it is not notarised yet, so macOS stops it on first launch. Approve it once in System Settings → Privacy & Security and it opens normally after that. Notarisation needs the paid Apple Developer Program and is the next thing on the list.
