Second, you can individually hide events.

You can right-click it and change its color to be red or purple. Then, there's a event which is personal, but you want it to stand out. Let's say you have a blue calendar for personal events. Per-event adjustmentsįantastical comes with a couple of features which allow individual adjustment of existing events.įirst, you can individually change their color, independently of the calendar they are in. You should check it out and see whether it works for you. For other languages, it is usually more of a hit-and-miss experience. For English, it works most of the time, but then sometimes it will miss some fields and you need to adjust them. My personal experience with it: It's good when it works. I.e., you type "Meet with Joey at 6pm at the pizza place" and it will create, well a calendar entry "Meet with Joey" from 6 pm with location "the pizza place". Then, it will try to figure out what you typed and create a calendar entry from it. Essentially, it gives you an input bar where you can type a text naturally. One feature which might be useful for some is Fantasticals support for "Natural language input".
CARDHOP PREFERENCES UPDATE
However, they sound exciting, so I will check them out at some point (and probably update this review.) Natural language input Personally, I do not use Todoist for my daily task management, so I also have not tried these integration features yet. There is a good integration of Fantastical with Todoist, so this might be worth it for some. I do not use the Reminders app, so I cannot discuss how will this integration works. Meaning, it will integrate with tasks from the Reminders app or Todoist and show them alongside the calendar. There is one feature which I almost cannot comment on: Fantastical comes with Task support. Therefore, you can, e.g., let it switch to activate all work-related calendars on weekdays between 9 and 5, and then let it switch to a set of personal calendars during off-time and during the weekends. Here are screenshots for macOS / iPadOS / iOS: It's really similar to what the built-in Calendar app already provides. If there's multiple events at the same time, it will show them side-by-side. Sorry for that!ĭay view The day view will show you an overview of a single day. I will provide pictures of each, but as I use the app with all my work and personal calendars, there's quite some censoring. Most of them are available in other apps, but the way quarter and yearly views are presented seems somewhat novel. There are a couple of different views to look at your calendar, going from per-day up to per-year. On other devices, it will already know your accounts, but you need to type in your passwords again as Flexibits will never receive your calendar passwords. However, when you want to sync stuff through the cloud, you need to setup those accounts within Fantastical as it won't read the system settings where you might have already set up calendars for the built-in Calendar app.Īfter the setup, most customizations and calendar account setups are then synced through the Flexibits account. The app will be able to show you local calendars, same as with the Apple Calendar app. For things like task support, you can also connect it to Todoist. It supports a variety of popular systems including iCloud, GMail, Outlook/Exchange, and many others. In the initial setup, you will need to connect Fantastical to your calendar system.
CARDHOP PREFERENCES FOR FREE
I imagine a subscription-based contact management app is a very hard sell, but well it comes for free as a bundle, so you might as well take a look at it. The subscription comes with one extra gimmick: Not only will it activate Fantastical on all supported platforms, they will also throw in the current version of "Cardhop", which is Flexibit's contact management app. There are also discounts for educational use and for military use, which you can apply for. There's also a more expensive family plan which allows family sharing via iCloud (so you can use it with your spouse or kids). The app currently costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year for individual users. I also try to avoid subscriptions whenever I can, but Fantastical is one of those few I come back to.


However, since v3 they transitioned to a subscription model in order to be more sustainable as a business. Fantastical used to be one-time purchases per platform until v2. PricingĪnother app which comes with a subscription model. However, all menus are sprinkled with smaller convenience features and customization options, which make the app. On the first glance, Fantastical is very similar to the built-in app. One might wonder, why pay for another app? Well it mostly comes down to convenience. It similar to that one already preinstalled in macOS and iOS.

Fantastical 3 is a calendar app for all common Apple platforms, namely, macOS, iOS, iPadOS and watchOS.
