# Dot for Mac

> Your day's events and reminders in the menu bar.

Dot puts your calendar and Apple Reminders in a menu bar panel, alerts you before meetings with a one-click join and a camera check, and adds a command bar for creating events in plain language. Menu bar text can be composed from date, next event and countdown pieces.
