calz

A feature-rich command line cal alternative

I'm a huge fan of the Unix cal program, but it has a limited set of features when it comes to colors and displaying date ranges. calz is an alternative to cal with a whole host of features and layouting options.

Install

Using Homebrew

brew install jez/formulae/calz

On Linux

Check the Releases page for pre-built 64 bit binaries for Linux (note you'll also need libgmp installed).

From Source

To build this project from source, use Haskell's Stack.

git clone https://github.com/jez/calz.git

If you've packaged this software for your operating system, let me know and I can link to it from these instructions.

The goal is to accept as many commonly used phrases for talking about dates as possible. If you find yourself using a phrase that's not accepted, please open an issue.

Potential Future Features

• Highlight arbitrary ISO-8601 dates provided on stdin
• Display line separators between months in flow layout
• Customize colors with flags
