Can anyone recommend any freeware/shareware for creating an editable year planner? - or just a regular calendar program which has a mechanism for displaying a whole year at a time.

EDIT: Ok, I'll even consider paying for the software as it looks like this may be a hard to find item.

EDIT: It looks like there is a gap in the market here if anyone feels like writing some shareware... With super large monitors (1920x1200 and up) becoming ever cheaper, editable year planners are now a very viable product... I'll volunteer to beta test it for you :-)

My own favorite is the free EssentialPIM, which has yearly display and much more:

PIM stands for Personal Information Manager, and it allows you to keep all your information in electronic form. All your appointments, tasks, to do lists, notes, contacts and email messages are stored in a graphical and easily accessible form. Fully Netbook compatible!

Does that mean you will be accepting harry's answer so he gets the bounty? – AdamV May 22 '10 at 20:58
@Adamv: Almost certainly - I gave him an upvote straight away, but I thought I'd leave it for a couple of days to see what else turned up. – Mick May 23 '10 at 6:30
I've been trying it out for 24 hours... The program is easy to use and visually very clear. Its exactly what I was looking for. – Mick May 23 '10 at 8:02

There is a freeware Year Planner here:

Another alternative would be a template for MS Office or Open Office:

Also, if you use Thunderbird there is lighning/Sunbird

Mozilla Sunbird

I just tried sunbird, but it seemed you could only view one month at a time - did I miss something? – Mick May 19 '10 at 14:50
Apologies, I forgot the year view, currently, is available via an addon: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/14467 – Pulse May 19 '10 at 23:00
Firefox said "year view 0.3.0b3 could not be installed because it is not compatible with firefox 3.6.3" – Mick May 21 '10 at 10:45
Sorry to report that ssuitesoft's program was, errmmm how can I put this politely... not very good. – Mick May 21 '10 at 10:46
It's actually a thunderbird extension. – Pulse May 22 '10 at 6:34

How about Google Calendar? There is an option in Labs to turn on Year View which lets you view every month. It's easy to add events to the calendar, you can subscribe to other people's calendars, it has built-in reminders, can tie into your email, etc. I find it very useful. The yearly view feature does not yet show events, but the monthly view does.

Seeing events is essential - so google is no good. – Mick May 23 '10 at 6:27

I know that it is probably not what you are asking for, but since i love it so, I must recommend The Compact Calendar.

(It does display a whole year at a time... :-)
