Monthr changelog
Every release, newest first.
First release
Pick 12 photos, get a print-ready wall calendar — with your family's birthdays already on the right days.
The calendar
- Drag twelve photos in. One at a time, or twelve at once and January through December fill in order. Empty months still print — they get a seasonal gradient rather than a hole.
- Birthdays from Contacts. One switch. Monthr reads names and birthdays, nothing else, and puts them on the right day of the right month. Leap-day birthdays land on February 28 in non-leap years.
- US holidays, computed rather than looked up — including the moving ones (Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, and Easter by the Gregorian computus).
- Your own events — anniversaries, "Grandma visits" — repeating every year.
- Cover page with the year and a title you choose.
- US Letter or A4, with printer-safe margins.
The look
Four themes, each a complete typographic and color identity for the printed page, chosen from a picker that shows the actual event colors: Heirloom (New York serif, warm charcoal on cream, brass accents), Studio (SF Rounded, coral, cool blues and teals), Botanical (serif with garden greens and plum), and Noir (high-contrast editorial, one crimson accent).
Events print as tinted chips, color-coded by kind, so a day's holidays, birthdays and your own events are tellable apart at arm's length on a wall.
Reading it before you print it
- Zoom — Fit, or 75% to 400%, with ⌘+ / ⌘− / ⌘0 / ⌘9. Pages re-render at the size they are shown, so zooming in shows real type instead of a magnified blur.
- The preview is drawn by the same renderer as the exported PDF, so what you see is what prints.
Thirteen languages
English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Simplified Chinese — switchable in-app, without restarting. The printed page is translated too: month names, weekday headers and holiday names all follow the language you pick, because a German window that prints "January" is not a localized app.
Accessibility
- WCAG 2.1 AA by measured contrast, verified in the test suite for every theme — event chips against their own fill, against the paper, and against the weekend wash.
- Color is never the only signal: event kinds keep a stable order, weekend numerals are muted as well as washed, and the three chip inks stay tellable apart in a black-and-white print.
- Full keyboard operation, VoiceOver labels and announcements in your language, Reduce Motion respected, native dark mode.
Pricing
Free for personal use — the whole app, unlimited calendars, no trial timer and no nag screens. A one-time $5 commercial licence per device covers use at work, matching the rest of the twoplus11 library.
Privacy
Everything happens on your Mac. Photos are read, never uploaded, never modified. Contacts access is asked for only when you turn birthdays on, and covers names and birthdays only. Monthr makes exactly one network connection: a weekly version check that sends the app version and nothing else, and can be switched off in Settings.
