This is similar to David Seah's compact calendar, which has been featured here a few times in the past: https://davidseah.com/node/compact-calendar/

Thanks for sharing this, I've been using a variation of this layout on my own simple vertical/horizontal planner[1], but David's looks a lot prettier.

I've been working on a simple calendar app too that is based on this layout. I find the layout cleaner and simpler to comprehend time passing over a year.

I had a Casio calculator that could show calendars like this. It could also play do-re-mi when you pressed digits and you could set an alarm with a jolly tune. And when I pressed the square root key repeatedly, the number got smaller and smaller until it showed 1. This was the 80s and it was my most precious thing.

>the number got smaller and smaller until it showed 1 Integer or floating point?

I think old school calculators use bcd.

It is something quite different.

Compact Calendar is continuous and Thumb Calendar is many months at the same time in single place.

What makes them similar is their focus on being printed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

that's not a visual guide, and the thumbs along with above and below mentioned are confusing.

Your thumbs run vertically along the sides of the card, parallel to each other. You use them to cover anything to the sides of the month header(/footer) you're looking at. I think it's that "not under or above" description from the link that's confusing. Find the header/footer for the right month. Use your thumbs to cover everything to the right or left.

Doesn't a thumb then obscure the label of the month you're identifying?

Are there any other good websites that have these kind of printable tools?

Around two years ago I was looking for a nice calendar on Amazon, but then I decided to just try to print one out. Since then I've been printing my monthly calendar and use it as a sort of logbook. It doesn't contain future things I need to be reminded of, I use Google Calendar for that.
