Fantastical – A Smarter, More Human Calendar Experience
Fantastical is a beautifully designed calendar and task manager that makes organizing your schedule simple, fast, and enjoyable. It’s known for its natural language input — you can type or say things like “Lunch with Arjun tomorrow at 1 PM” and Fantastical instantly creates the event for you.
Built for macOS, iOS, iPad, and Apple Watch, it keeps your calendars, reminders, and to-dos synced and in one place. With a clean interface and powerful features, Fantastical helps you focus on your day instead of fighting your calendar.
Plan Your Day with Natural Language
Fantastical’s signature feature is its natural language engine — you can create events or reminders by simply describing them.
Examples:
- “Call client on Friday at 10 AM”
- “Gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 PM”
- “Submit article by next Thursday @Work”
The app understands dates, times, and even locations automatically, turning your words into fully formed calendar entries.
