Rainlendar is a highly customizable desktop calendar application available in two versions: Lite (Free) and Pro (€9.95). While both share the same sleek interface, event/task management, and skinning capabilities, the Pro version is designed for users needing synchronization across multiple devices and platforms. Rainlendar Pro vs. Lite At a Glance Rainlendar Lite (Free) Rainlendar Pro (€9.95) Cost ~€9.95 (one-time) Calendar Sync Local only (iCal files) Google Calendar, Outlook, Todoist, Remember the Milk Network Sharing Yes (share calendars) Multiple Devices No (locally stored) Yes (syncs between computers) Customization Excellent (Skins/Fonts) Excellent (Skins/Fonts) Events/Tasks Is the Pro Upgrade Worth It?
The upgrade is definitely worth it if you rely on Google Calendar or Outlook and need your desktop calendar to stay updated across multiple devices. Upgrade to Pro if:
You use Google Calendar or Outlook for work or personal scheduling.
You switch between a work computer and a home computer and want a unified calendar. You need to share calendars with others (network sharing). Stick with Lite if:
You only need a simple, visual calendar on your local desktop. You don’t need to sync with online services.
You only manage tasks/events that are unique to that one computer.
Note: You can evaluate the Rainlendar Pro version before paying, and upgrades are free if you already have a license. If you’d like, I can:
