Arch Calendar Desktop App (Mac)

We’re introducing Arch Calendar as a desktop app(Mac).

Arch Calendar started as a quiet workspace in your browser. But sometimes tabs pile up, windows multiply, and Arch often gets buried somewhere in the middle.

The desktop app gives Arch its own place on your computer: a dedicated space for planning your day, separate from the chaos of the browser.

Stay on track with notifications

The desktop app comes with a notification experience tuned for your daily schedule:

  • Task reminders that appear shortly before a block starts or ends.

  • Event reminders for meetings, with a quick way to jump to the meeting link when available.

  • Complete from notification – mark a task as done directly from the toast, without switching back to Arch.

  • Snooze options so you can push a reminder a few minutes later when you’re not quite ready.

You can fine-tune all of this in Settings → Notifications — choose when to be reminded, and whether you want sound or a quieter setup.

A quick glance at your day from the menu bar

The desktop Menu Bar (or system tray) gives you a lightweight view of “now” without opening the full app:

  • See your current task or event and how much time is left.

  • If nothing is running, see when your next block begins or confirm that you have no more scheduled blocks for today.

It’s a narrow strip of information, designed to keep you aware of your day without demanding your attention.

How to install the Desktop App

You can install the Desktop App in two ways:

  • From Settings → Download apps inside Arch Calendar, where desktop and mobile downloads live together.

  • Directly from our /download page
