• Printable layouts: Page-size-aware templates (A4, Letter, etc.), print margins, and page breaks set for clean printing.
• Multiple formats: Monthly, yearly, weekly, and planner-style layouts.
• Customization options: Start weekday, locale/date formats, holidays, custom events, recurring entries, and color-coding.
• Automatic date math: Formulas populate correct dates, handle leap years, and adjust for month lengths.
• Import/export: Import events from CSV/iCal; export finished calendars as PDF or print directly.
