Clear Calendar puts a calendar you already keep onto your site, and keeps it there. Make a Google Calendar public, paste its address once, and the block shows what is in it. Add an event in Google and it is on your site; change a time and the site changes with it. Nothing to re-upload, nothing to keep in step by hand. Choose a month grid, a week, or a plain list of what is coming up. A visitor can open any day to see the time, the place and the details, and add the event straight to their own calendar. Stickers are how a calendar stops looking like a spreadsheet. Pin one to a date — a star on the day you reopen, a padlock on a closing day — or give a word a sticker and every event with that word wears it, this month and next. And it is built to look like the site it is on. Pick a theme or set your own colours, the weight of the titles, the spacing, which day the week starts on, and whether weekends are coloured. All of it is free. Times can be shown in your own timezone rather than the reader's. The app reads only calendars you have published to the public, and refuses private calendar links on purpose.
