What is Fantastical?

Fantastical is a popular calendar application developed by Flexibits for Mac, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS devices. It provides an intuitive user interface that allows users to quickly create, view, and manage events and reminders across their calendar.

One of the standout features of Fantastical is its advanced natural language event parser. Instead of needing to manually fill out event details like the title, time, location, and description, you can simply type out sentences like "Lunch with Jane next Tuesday at noon" and Fantastical will automatically parse the relevant event details and create the event accordingly with no extra steps. This makes adding events much faster and easier.

Fantastical also provides useful features for power users, like calendar sets that allow you to view and manage multiple calendars from services like iCloud, Google, Exchange, and more in one place. It also offers event proposals and reminders that can suggest event times and automatically create reminders based on your habits and preferences.

The application provides day, week, month, and year views of your calendar(s) with color coding to visualize events from different calendars or event types. It incorporates weather information and includes a map view for events with location information.

Fantastical integrates with popular services and apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Apple Mail, Messages, Reminders, Contacts, Notes and more. This deep ecosystem integration enables further automation and productivity when scheduling meetings, mail merges, and other workflows.

The app offers customizable themes, widgets for the home screen, and Apple Watch support with notifications and quick event management. It also includes calendar sharing and collaboration capabilities for teams and families.

Overall, Fantastical is one of the top calendar apps for Apple devices, offering a balance of usability, customization, and smart features for both personal and professional calendar management.
