Lightning Calendar – calendar software

Last Updated on July 11, 2021

Lightning Calendar (formerly Mozilla Sunbird) is the Mozilla Calendar application. It is a standalone version of the now discontinued Mozilla Calendar Extension.

The goal is to produce a cross platform stand-alone Calendar application using the XUL user interface language.

Sunbird uses a somewhat smaller memory footprint than the Mozilla suite.

It uses a SQL-based storage mechanism based on SQLite.

Features include:

• Viewing remote calendars.
• Printing.
• Google Calendar calendars.
• Support for Outlook meeting requests.
• Offline support.
• Task mode.
• Add-ons include:
  • Automatic Export.
  • FoxClocks – keep an eye on the time around the world.
  • Provide for Google Calendar – bidirectional access to Google Calendar.
  • MinimiseToTray.
  • ReminderFox – displays and manages lists of date-based reminders and ToDo’s.
  • SUNRO – covert Sunbird into the outer space.
  • Splash!
