If this is all you need, why not just use an open source alternative? I'm using MeetingBar (https://github.com/leits/MeetingBar) and it covers all of these "issues". It even sends notifications, it's lightweight, scriptable and doesn't cost me as much as a Photoshop subscription.

In Launch HN: Superpowered (YC W21) – Calendar in your menu barThere is also MeetingBar [1] which is free and open source [2]. I would say there is one feature that none of the competitors in this space have done is auto join next meeting. This sounds easy, but it is actually hard [3]
