Apple Calendar's built-in print covers full-month views and not much else. Calendar Printer Pro adds custom date ranges, flexible layouts, unlimited templates, and PDF export for users who need more control.

Calendar Printer Pro is the clear winner for anyone who needs to print more than a full month at a time. With Free + one-time purchase pricing, it offers custom date ranges, day/week/month/list layouts, unlimited saved templates, and PDF export. Apple Calendar's built-in print is free and baked into macOS, but is locked to full-month views with minimal layout or formatting control.

Built for users who need complete control over how and what they print from Apple Calendar. Custom date ranges, multiple layout modes, unlimited templates, and clean PDF output - all processed locally on your Mac.
Apple Calendar includes a basic print option accessible via File - Print. It is useful for quick full-month printouts but offers little flexibility for custom date ranges, specialized layouts, or template-based workflows.
Not with the built-in print. Apple Calendar only prints full months. Calendar Printer Pro lets you pick any start and end date, including single weeks or arbitrary ranges.
No. It uses a one-time in-app purchase model. Download is free and the premium features - including custom templates, advanced layouts, and full customization - unlock with a single purchase.
Every layout can be exported directly as a high-quality PDF. This is a dedicated export path in the app, not the macOS print-to-PDF workaround required by Apple Calendar.
Yes. Any Google Calendar account synced to Apple Calendar on your Mac is automatically included. No separate Google login is needed.
Yes. All processing happens locally on your Mac. Your calendar events never leave your device and nothing is uploaded to any server.
No. It reads your existing Apple Calendar data and provides advanced printing options. You continue using Apple Calendar as your main calendar app.
Custom layouts, unlimited templates, and PDF export. One-time purchase.
