Is there a calendar that can show the whole year and mark days with different colors if there are all-day events? For some reason calendar apps don't treat year view as something important which is crazy to me. I like to have an overview when planning vacations and stuff like that.

I was looking for the same recently, would be especially nice for vacations and remote working periods. It feels like the best method is still a paper wall calendar and a marker which is a bit surprising. If someone has any suggestions I'd be excited to give them a try!

Second this. I've written my own private Google Apps script specifically for this view and I wish more calendar apps would do the same. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

I've been looking for this kind of feature for a long time. Lots of orgs need to plan out certain things over the whole year with their various teams (you don't want two teams trying to do their biggest fundraising at the same time, for example), and it boggles my mind that calendar companies don't make this easy to see.

I have found a few excel templates that print out the whole year on a tabloid piece of paper.

There's one landscape template that works well enough that it could also look good on a monitor. If I can find the original link to it I can share it if interested. I ended up writing a script that just populates the excel template until I get around to replacing it, or discovering it.

I wanted this so bad I wrote up a quick personal app that pulls from a couple of subscribed Google calendars and does almost exactly like what you are asking for. I don't know how anyone plans multi-day events without it. Huge for family meetings where we are planning out the year.

I don't think its crazy either. Having a view of your year with major things that require lead ups and follow up is critical. It actually makes the year go much smoother.
