The company has partnered with AccuWeather for that feature. If you’re traveling, you can also open an event to see the weather in that location at the time of your event.

You can click on weather icons in the DayTicker or week view to check the weather in the coming days. The company has partnered with SchedJoules for those calendars.įinally, you can enable weather forecasts in Fantastical. Google Calendar users are familiar with that feature - it lets you add calendars for holidays, sports, TV, quarterly earnings, etc. There’s a new feature called interesting calendars. In addition to iCloud Reminders support, Fantastical now also supports task lists in Todoist and Google Tasks. Your calendar sets now sync across all your devices.

That feature lets you toggle multiple calendars and task lists and save those settings as a specific view. For instance, one of the key features of Fantastical is calendar sets. And Flexibits didn’t stop there with server-side features. This feature works with a server back end. When they select a date and time, your proposed events are replaced by a single event. You can see all proposed events in your calendar with a “Proposed” label and your invitee receives an email with event details. When you create an event, you can add other options if you haven’t decided on a specific time just yet. When it comes to new features, Fantastical now has a built-in meeting proposal feature. Overall, it’s a fluid user experience and I’m sure power users are going to love swiping their fingers across the screen. It’s a great way to see more details or see more hours. In the week and day view, you can also zoom in and out by pinching the screen.

That view reminds me of Sunrise’s week view, a well-designed calendar app that shut down four years ago. I customized the full-screen week view to display the next four days so that I get larger columns and I can more easily see the details of my events. For instance, you can see a week view without having to rotate your phone to landscape, a month view with events details and a year view to quickly jump to another date. That full-screen vertical view is a great addition. In addition to dark mode, you can now swipe up and down on the top area to switch from the default DayTicker view to a month view and to a full-screen vertical view.

The free version doesn’t support adding tasks, adding events using the natural language parsing engine, etc. All apps are free with basic features and you have to subscribe to unlock everything. Now that Fantastical is a unified platform, Flexibits is also switching to a unified pricing model. “Think about it as one app and one platform that’s called Fantastical,” Flexibits co-founder Michael Simmons told me. You’ll find the same feature set, the same interface and the same calendar-syncing engine in all those apps. The main difference with Fantastical 2 is that the app is now exactly the same across all platforms. I’ve been using the app on my Mac, iPhone and iPad for a week. New features include event proposals, interesting calendars, new calendar views and weather forecasts. Flexibits, the company behind popular calendar app Fantastical, is releasing Fantastical 3.0 on all platforms today - macOS, iOS, iPadOS and watchOS.
