iOS Calendar Views

iOS 4 has some interesting new features such as Event Kit for accessing the user’s calendars and local notifications for alarms. Unfortunately there is month, week or day calendar views as in the iCal app.

I went looking for open source calendar view frameworks and came across the following ones.

TapKu http://github.com/devinross/tapkulibrary Apache License (Month and day views) Kal http://github.com/klazuka/Kal MIT License (Month view) GCCalendar http://github.com/guicocoa/GCCalendar Looks like MIT (Day view)

Also, there is a calendar view in the LastFM source code, http://github.com/c99koder/lastfm-iphone.git , however that codebase is under the GPL license so I’ve chosen not to consider it.

Of these TapKu has month and day views, Kal seems to only have month and GCCalendar only day. I’m interested in monthly views so am starting to really dig into TapKu though Kal seems nice also.

If you know of any other good calendar views or have any relevant experience or comments, please let me know.

I also developed calendar view for iOS – http://www.componentix.com/blog/22

Compared to existing ones it is very simple and stylable. Also it can be scaled to any dimensions.
