# hora Calendar

> Native macOS client for Google Calendar. Built with SwiftUI. No Electron. No CalDAV. Just fast.

## What is hora?

hora is a native macOS calendar app that connects directly to Google Calendar via the official API. It's built entirely in SwiftUI — no web views, no Electron wrapper. The goal is to be the fastest, most keyboard-friendly Google Calendar client on macOS.

## Key Features

- Week, Month, and Day calendar views
- Full event CRUD with drag-and-drop and edge resizing
- Google Meet conference link creation
- Google Calendar-style keyboard shortcuts (D/W/M, C, /, J/K, T)
- Real-time sync via Google Calendar push notifications (no polling lag)
- Multi-account support with color-coded calendars
- Native macOS notifications
- Menu bar quick-view widget with next-meeting countdown
- WidgetKit home-screen widgets
- Dark mode by default

## Status
