Fantastical is the Mac calendar you'll actually enjoy using. Creating an event with the app is quick, easy, and fun: Open the tool with a single click or keystroke, Type in your event details and press return... and you're back to what you were doing with a shiny new event in your calendar!



The app's natural-language engine is expressive and intelligent, so you can write in your own style. The app also automatically recognizes the location of your event and can even invite people from your Contacts to the event.

Features and Highlights

Beautiful, all-new design exclusively for macOS
The original Fantastical for Mac was only a menu bar app. "With Fantastical 2, we've reinvented Fantastical and made it a full Mac application, without losing the benefits and convenience of the menu bar window".

Add events and reminders using natural language
The tool's natural language engine is expressive and intelligent so you can write in your own style. The app automatically recognizes the location of your event and can even invite people from Contacts to your event.

Introducing calendar sets
The app lets you quickly toggle multiple calendars on or off with a single click, so you can focus on what's more important in that moment. The days of going back and forth, clicking multiple times, just to hide and show your calendars are over.

Maximize your productivity with the Mini Window
The Mini Window that started it all is back, better than ever. The app's Mini Window resides in your menu bar and lets you create, edit, and view your events and reminders instantly. With this product, you can now drag the Mini Window away from the menu bar, allowing you to position the window anywhere you like. And the new infinite list makes it easy to find all of your events and reminders, no matter when they occur.

It does reminders, too
The app supports the same reminders as macOS and iOS, giving you the fastest way to create or update your to-do list. Creating a new reminder is as easy as creating a new event: just type in what you need to get done. The app now features a focused reminders list, as well as support for location-based reminders.

Bring your own calendar accounts
Fantastical Calendar for macOS has its own engine for CalDAV and Microsoft Exchange: This means you can add your calendar accounts directly into the tool. The app supports iCloud, Google, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo, as well as any other CalDAV account.

macOS Today Widget, Share Extension, and Action Extension
The app's Today Widget gives you convenient access to your schedule. The new Share and Action Extensions make it super easy to get data into your calendar. Just select some text in Safari, Mail, or any other app that supports extensions and send it to the app instantly.

Power at your fingertips
The app supports availability and scheduling, allowing you to quickly find out if coworkers are available when creating a new event. Scheduling requires a supported server, such as Google Apps or Exchange. iCloud does not support availability.
