Calendar App
Is a Fantastic Time Manager
Fantastical improves on what Apple's
Calendar app has to offer and does it in a compact, quickly accessible package.
It doesn't ignore Calendar, however, but works with it. It shares information
between the programs, including how items are colored, and setting up
Fantastical is painless. In a game of word association, it's unlikely that
"fantastical" will produce "calendar" in most players'
minds -- unless they've used the dandy time management program for Mac OS X of
that name. Apple includes calendar software with OS X. It gets the job done.
It's nicely integrated with other calendar programs that use the CalDAV
protocol, notably Google Calendar. Users can create multiple calendars within
Apple Calendar, too. You can have a calendar for work-related events, for
example, and another for after business hours activities. It also has a nice
search function. Type in a search term and a nice list of relevant items will
pop up beside the calendar. Apple Calendar, though, doesn't make the best use
of screen real estate -- a drawback if you're using it on smaller Mac models
like a MacBook Air or 13-inch MacBook Pro. Also absent from Apple Calendar is
the kind of artificial intelligence that programs like Microsoft Outlook have
been using for years to make creating new events and reminders easier.
