Flexibits has left no stone unturned in taking the base that Apple built with its calendar app and taking it to the next level. Once everyone responds and a common time is found, the proposal can automatically be turned into an event and added to your calendar. The app lets you create a proposal with multiple times and the others will be asked to choose what times work for them. Fantastical now includes meeting proposals, which makes it easy to ask people what dates or times work for them for a meeting.

And similar to Apple Maps, Fantastical will show you local weather for other locations when the address is part of the calendar entry.Īnother well implemented features is the Meeting Scheduling. In recent updates, Fantastical integrated a weather forecast in the calendar so you can know if you need to bring an umbrella for your next meeting without checking different apps. I don’t have many appointments, but this quick view allows me to see my upcoming day quickly and make adjustments as necessary. The menu bar version is my absolute favorite way to use it, though. In version 2, they added a full-featured view. In Fantastical 1.0, this was the only way to use the app. My favorite feature of Fantastical is the menu bar version. You can easily add appointments by simply typing out what you need to add (dinner with dad tomorrow at 7 pm), and it will parse out what you mean. I love the natural language input it includes. On top of those, Fantastical has features that help set it apart from Apple Calendar. It’s a “fantastic calendar.” It includes all the features the Apple Calendar includes (Time travel, support for iCloud, Google, Exchange, Office 365, and more, and a dark mode). FantasticalĪs I mentioned in my iPhone calendar round-up, Fantastical on the iPhone is fantastic. There are a lot of features of the other third-party apps that Apple could easily copy. The app feels “heavy” to me, and I’d love to see a slimmed down (menu bar?) version of it. I know that Calendar apps are mature, but there is no reason Apple cannot continue to tweak or rethink aspects of the app.

We’ve gone two full years without a single new feature (except for Dark Mode).

The last new feature update was a few years ago when it got time travel alerts. In a lot of ways, it’s felt stagnant for years. My issue with Apple Calendar is that it does nothing to stand out outside of being the default app.

It works reliably with multiple calendars, it’s relatively easy to enter new appointments, and it’s easy to rearrange events. On the surface, it does everything you’d want it to do. It’s built into every Mac, and it syncs with iCloud, Google Calendar, Yahoo, Exchange, and general CalDAV servers. Of all the calendar apps on macOS, Apple’s built-in calendar is probably the most widely used. So let’s get down to it: what’s the best calendar app for the Mac? Apple’s Calendar I keep all my tasks in a separate app, so I only use it for appointments. I have my way of managing my calendar, and that will undoubtedly skew my opinions. Like I always say when I write articles like this, this is purely based on opinion for me. Others only have their official meetings. Some people like to manage all of their tasks from it. I know that everyone uses their calendar in different ways.
