This sounds like a classic "in front of the steamroller" startup. Apple is likely building a similar capability into MacOS; it's just not yet released. One day, a new MacOS will roll out and the menu bar calendar will be one of 8,000 new features. Your market is gone overnight.
If you are lucky, they will see your genius and acquihire you. If not, this company has a high likelihood of failing or becoming a lifestyle company with a small but valuable user base who cannot live without the few special things your menu bar app does that Apple's built-in feature does not.
All this being said, you can also discover all kinds of things on the journey that take you away from the original idea into areas where a lot of growth can happen. Build things your customers love and you will find success. It's a great idea fundamentally.
Thanks for the feedback! Totally agree. That's why we're trying to branch out of the calendar space as fast as possible. First as a unified notification inbox for SaaS platforms.
