macOS menu bar calendar

Your next meeting,
always visible.

Ticker sits in your menu bar with a live countdown, one-click meeting join, and a clean day timeline so you never open calendar tabs just to see what is next.

Click empty time to create. Drag to reschedule.

Direct Mac download

Install takes under a minute.

Ticker is distributed outside the Mac App Store for now. The first-open right-click step is normal for direct Mac apps.

01

Download the DMG

Grab the latest Mac build directly from gettickerapp.com.

02

Open it once

Drag Ticker to Applications. On first launch, right-click Ticker.app and choose Open.

03

Connect calendar

Sign in with Google Calendar, then keep the countdown in your menu bar.

Your calendar should not need another browser tab.

Ticker keeps the one thing that matters visible: what is next, when it starts, and how to join.

Keep your flow

Stay in your editor while the menu bar quietly shows how much time you have before the next call.

Join without hunting

Meet, Zoom, and Teams links sit one click away, so the meeting link is not buried in a browser tab.

Know the real countdown

Ticker moves from minutes to seconds as the meeting gets close, then makes it obvious when it is time.

Small when idle. Useful when clicked.

Free covers the meeting countdown, timeline, and join flow. Pro is the power-user layer for managing the calendar from the menu bar.
