In an increasingly hectic life, it is important to keep a calendar on your computer to help you keep track of all the daily tasks and responsibilities.

One of the most used calendar apps is Google’s Google Calendar. Google Calendar is a user-friendly and feature-rich calendar that helps many users stay on top of their daily responsibilities.

However, besides its convenience, there is a small setback for those who want their online calendar at their fingertips. Namely, Google Calendar doesn’t have a dedicated app which means that users must log in to their Gmail accounts each time they need to check their daily schedule.

Those who find it a chore to sign in and out of their Gmail accounts will benefit from pinning their Google calendars to their taskbar, making it much easier to access them.
