It’s that time of year, actually it could happen any time of year, when I start reassessing what app I use to manage my calendar. I wonder if anyone has any preferences…and why?
@crossingthethreshold BusyCal. It’s the natural descendant to Now Up-To-Date — an app I’ve used since my first Mac in 1986. It has the most important feature for me and my family which is robust calendar sharing. I’ve never had a Mac without it.
Also, I worked in software QA for Now/Power On Software for over 4 years so I know the app inside and out like the back of my hand.
@crossingthethreshold Fantastical for the natural language processing and URL callback/shortcuts support. I use Drafts on iOS to enter a list of events (kids’ school, wife’s work schedule). Type the list using NLP, and one button push to enter all the events.
@jimmitchell @jmreekes @patrickrhone Thank you all for your time and recommendations. I appreciate what you have shared and will look into the apps.
@crossingthethreshold i use apple's calendar AND fantastical AND BusyCal - I find they all do different things better than the others. If you are a SetApp user - BusyCal is there - so the only one I pay for is fantastical - which of course comes with cardhop. I NEARLY cancelled fantastical - and then they introduced 'openings' - which for me replaces things like calendly - which is twice the price of cardhop plus fantastical - so a no brainer.
@JohnPhilpin How do you manage three calendar apps? That sounds as though it would make things confusing?
