Why You’ll Love Fantastical
Fantastical - Calendar
Reminders & Todo List
Fantastical has long been one of the best calendar apps around, thanks in part to the way it lets you add an event simply by describing it: Type “Phone call this Friday with Jim at 2pm” and Fantastical magically parses the details and puts them in the right fields.
New features in the latest version of Fantastical help you be even more productive. Here are our favourites.
Schedule Meetings With Ease
When creating an event, you can offer attendees multiple meeting times by clicking Propose Another Time. Fantastical will email everyone a link to a web page where they can pick the options that work for them. Once everyone agrees on a time, Fantastical sends a final invite to all and automatically adds the event to your calendar.
Check the Weather
Fantastical now displays the forecast from AccuWeather right on your calendar. Click it to see hourly forecasts and an overview of the upcoming week.
Get To-Dos Done
Fantastical now lets you manage tasks (and their deadlines) alongside your calendar. Fantastical also syncs with Todoist and Reminders; when you add a task in one of those apps, it’ll show up in Fantastical and vice versa.
Join Online Meetings With a Click
Remote meetings are more and more common, and Fantastical makes it easier than ever to join them: The app puts a big Join button on any event containing a link for a Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting, or BlueJeans meeting.
Stay in the Know
Fantastical helps you stay up to date on your favourite TV shows (complete with episode summaries!), moon phases, esoteric holidays, and more. Click the Calendar Set menu and choose Add Interesting Calendars. There you can browse the categories, including TV, Finance, and Popular. One of our favourites: The Astronomy and Space calendar from The New York Times, which tracks major celestial events.
Save Time With Event Templates
Have a recurring event that takes place at different locations or times? Fantastical’s event templates make entering them easier than ever. (Control-click any event and choose Create Template.) Even better: With a Fantastical subscription, adding an event template on your Mac makes it available in Fantastical on your iPhone and iPad too.
