Compass Calendar
A keyboard-driven calendar: arrange a perfect schedule with shortcuts and stay in flow without a mouse.
About Compass Calendar
Compass Calendar is a keyboard-driven calendar tool, officially positioned as a “keyboard calendar.” When arranging your schedule, mouse clicks are disallowed — every action is done through shortcuts, helping users stay in flow while planning. To lower the learning curve, a built-in playground walks you through the core shortcut patterns; contextual hints appear at the most useful moments; press ? for the full shortcut legend; press Ctrl+K to open the command palette and invoke any command you can't remember. It targets busy professionals who work on the keyboard year-round. Pricing is subscription-based: $7.99/month, or $79.99/year (about $6.67/month, saving two months versus paying monthly). Logged-in use includes a 7-day trial; a bank card must be linked at checkout, and you won't be charged before the trial ends.
