Is There a Modern Desktop Calendar App or Widget Like Rainlander?

Hey guys im still using Rainlendar 2 but it looks a bit dated in Windows 11. I have never been able to find a replacement or even find a modern skin. For those that dont know, it lets you add google calendar and syncs with your phone etc, it lets you add new events etc from the desktop app. So i would love a replacement, is there anything you can recommend?

We use Companionlink. Syncs your Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes between your phone and PC or MAC.

Hi does it have a fully interactable widget like this? I personally prefer this to a calendar you have to open as you can easily glance at it anytime.

here is a snap shot

CompanionLink has many different variations...best check their website. We use CL to sync a Google calendar to our Apple devices and Outlook.

thanks for your reply, i have installed it however its just a calender app, there is no widget as such, it offers a live tile if you upgrade, by the looks of things it puts this live tile on your start menu which is no use im afraid. thanks again

At work, we can register our phones to be company-managed so that we can have company mail, calendar, and other company apps on our personal phones. I tried it once and there were all sorts of popups that would remind you that the company has access to data on your phone (I don't even care that they stated something about the company partition only; the bottom line is that I didn't trust it). In addition, they only supported the Outlook app for mail, so if you wanted to use one app for both personal and company email, then you were forced to setup your personal account in the Outlook app.

I did not like any of that and I immediately unregistered my phone! And that's when I found CompanionLink! On my work laptop, it is installed and syncs my Outlook Calendar to my personal Microsoft 365 Calendar, which is what I have setup on my iPhone. I specifically do not want to send/receive company emails on my phone, so that is why I only sync my work calendar.

CompanionLink works great!!!
