I like a version of this[0] where the weekdays are aligned.

		This is such a great layout, thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Our local MP (I'm in Sydney) distributed a piece of magnetic calendars to every household, which can be attached to the refrigerator. All the public holidays are already marked, and I mark my own special ones with a highlighter. It's really useful, as long as you don't mind seeing the MP's photo every day.

Put a photo of someone important there instead.

How are you going to remember the birthday of that important person?

		I'd have already used the year-at-once calendar and put a little photo on their day. Do you need further instructions?

I have a simpler problem - I want a yearly calendar app (for Android) that just shows the yearly calendar (for any year), nothing else (no events, no reminders, no anything).

Any app I find seems to disappear from the Play Store after a couple years.

Bonus: show the weeks vertically.

Package: ncal

    Source: bsdmainutils
    Maintainer: Debian Bsdmainutils Team 
    [...]
    Description-en: display a calendar and the date of Easter
    [...] This utility displays a
    simple calendar in a traditional or an alternative and more advanced layout,
    and the date of Easter.

And here is a Bash script that runs ncal to show weeks vertically.

Hate to say it but you can just tell an LLM to make the calendar for you as an html artifact that includes a print view. It can also add a .ics export.

Of course you should go over the dates and holidays to see if it got them right.

Hey.com calendar has recently shipped a very nice year view

I hate to be that guy, but why not use pscal ?

It has all you want, plus moon phases!

It's admittedly harder to find these days, and someone should rewrite it in a decent language, but here it is:

Perhaps it was in fact coded decently. And licensed decently as well. ^_^ [1] `AUTHOR: Patrick Wood Copyright (C) 1987 by Pipeline Associates, Inc.
