The words move to their corresponding spot in the date and time list, letting you know that the event is being created.įantastical is set to launch later this month. There are some clever visuals that come to life as you type in the title, time, and location of your event. The parsing is not only good at actually understanding what I’m entering it also makes me feel quite confident that it understands me. So far, in my usage, the natural language parsing has been superb the best I’ve ever used. The power users in the room will be glad to know you can navigate and operate the app without leaving the keyboard - if it were not so then I certainly would not find the same amount of utility from the app.Īnd what blows me away every time I use it is the entry panel for an event - Fantastical uses a natural language parser in addition to the standard new-event, iCal interface. It lives in your Menu Bar and you invoke it via a global hotkey (I use command+option+c), or by clicking on the Menu Bar icon, and it appears instantaneously. What I like most about Fantastical is how quick and accessible it is. If you’re not always editing events, then Fantastical very well could replace iCal for most of your day-to-day calendaring needs. The only thing it doesn’t do (yet) is allow you to edit an event once it’s been created. Fantastical is the first one that has.Īfter daily usage for the past several weeks I have found that Fantastical is near wholly a stand-alone calendar app. However, in all my years of experimenting with those various “helper” apps for iCal, none have ever stuck with me. Other plugins and utilities have sought to do this in the past. It syncs with iCal, Entourage, Bus圜al, Google Calendar et al., and it works quite well as a nimble access point for viewing and adding new events. In many ways I think Fantastical has hit that sweet spot.įantastical started out with the intentions of being a counterpart to your current calendar app. So that those users with less needs do not feel overwhelmed and those with more needs do not feel any lack. Often times, the best of developers will be able to aptly build in the appropriate features for all sorts of users. ![]() We, the users, define what is too much, not enough, or just right for the software we use. That line is defined in part by the developer but also by the user. There is a fine line between not enough and just enough - between usability and unnecessary lack. The developers over at Flexibits have given me permission to share a little bit about Fantastical with you guys, and I’m honored to do so because I am really loving this app. It is still in private beta, and is due out later this month. For the past several weeks I have had the privilege to beta test the soon-to-be-released Mac calendar app, Fantastical. ![]()
