What's new in KashCal 2026.07.02

Dispatch from the lab, best known (of all things) for a calendar.

We keep meaning to invent something important. Then July 22 rolls around, the annual Pi Approximation Day party starts (the one where 22/7 gets to cosplay as π and nobody files a complaint), someone gets ideas, and we end up improving the calendar again. Here is what escaped this time.

Exact minutes, finally​

The 5-minute time wheel is lovely right up until you need "3:47," at which point it just shrugs. So there is now a keyboard button on the time picker: tap it, type any minute you please.

Events already sitting on an odd minute show the exact time as tappable text instead of quietly rounding themselves to the nearest five while you looked away. Your 8:52 standup stays 8:52.

A lighter download​

In honor of 22/7 being a wonderfully compact stand-in for something infinite, we went hunting for fat to trim and found the app hauling a crate of packing peanuts. We cleaned house. KashCal is now roughly a third smaller to download and install. Same calendar, less luggage.

Everything in this release​

  • Type an exact minute. A keyboard button on the time picker lets you enter any minute instead of snapping to the nearest five. Odd-minute events now show their real time as tappable text.
  • Roughly a third smaller. Trimmed redundant packaging so the download and install footprint shrink, with no change to what the app does.

Still just a calendar. Now a slightly better one. Happy (approximately) Pi Day.

KashCal is free and open source. Get it on F-Droid or read the docs.
