BusyCal has the option of having today\u2019s date be at the top of the calendar even if it\u2019s the last week of the month. It\u2019s a perpetually scrolling month view and it makes so much sense, so you\u2019re always looking ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evernote.com\/premium\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14799\" alt=\"evernote\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/05\/evernote.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/05\/evernote.jpg 475w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/05\/evernote-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Evernote<\/strong><\/a>: Free or $5-$10\/month Subscription (Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evernote.com\/referral\/Registration.action?uid=149956&amp;sig=7de04cc62b99f3744ad7ac89a6b40549\">here<\/a> to get one month of Evernote Premium for free.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00D42A16E\/cooltools-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14800\" alt=\"bose15\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/05\/bose15.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/05\/bose15.jpg 475w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/05\/bose15-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Canceling Headphones<\/strong><\/a>: $279<br \/>\n&#8220;They\u2019re so comfortable, they cut the noise a lot and you listen to your music in great style and great sound.
