When I asked people for their favorite calendar apps recommendations, Fantastical was mentioned by many people.

If you are entering many events on your iPhone, Apple’s calendar app will get tedious quickly. For many apps now, that is a standard feature. Where it could improve is in its “time to enter an appointment.” While it has added auto-complete, it should add better natural language input for quick entry. It integrates all of your calendars into a single app, provides updated travel time information (pulling the data from Apple Maps traffic data), and is easy to use. It’s heavily integrated with the rest of Apple’s platform.Īpple’s app does a lot of things well. But, I do like to get a glance at my week to know what I have coming up. I don’t have many events on my calendar (I tried to avoid meetings like the plague). It shows the date icon on the home screen (something no other app can do without using a notification badge). When I’m using this app, I stay in the “List View” to scroll my upcoming events. There is a lot to like about Apple’s default calendar app for iPhone.

To find an event time with the fewest or no conflicts, you can: You see invitees’ free and busy time in the Availability window. You only see Check Availability if your event is on a calendar service that tracks availability, such as CalDAV. If you see Check Availability below the last invitee, you can click it to see when invitees are free or busy.

If you press Return before Calendar finds a match, or before you finish typing an email address, the invitee isn’t added.Īfter you enter two invitees, Calendar suggests the next invitee based on your previous interactions with people, such as who you often or recently invited together to the same meeting.Ī symbol next to each invitee indicates the person’s status-for example, available, busy, or replied yes, no, or maybe.

(You can also select an event, then use the Touch Bar.)Įnter each invitee’s name or email address, then press Return.Īs you type a name or email address, Calendar tries to find a match in your Contacts and Mail apps, and on connected calendar servers. In the Calendar app on your Mac, double-click or force click the event, then click Add Invitees or click next to any existing invitees. Use a Chinese, Hebrew, or Islamic lunar calendar.Set event alerts and receive notifications.Create or modify all-day or multiday events.
