If you're new to Fantastical, there is a trial to test it out to see if you like it before deciding on a subscription. While Fantastical does have a subscription model now, previous users of Fantastical 2 get most of the features unlocked, so it's still very functional. Go through the apps list above and tell us which app you ended up using in the comments section below. However, it’s always advisable to check out the competition that offers more features for a price. The natural language input is also top-notch, as the app easily understands and fills out all of the appropriate fields while you type out something as simple as "Have lunch with Mom at In-N-Out on Tuesday at 2 p.m." Most Mac users stick with the default Apple Calendar app. For example, you can have work calendars viewable while you're at work, but personal ones when you're at home. Offline Calendar allows you to access your events through your Google Chrome browser without. Before starting, you’ll need to make sure that you are using the correct iCloud. This is by design, but syncing your Apple Calendar with Google can still be done, although it takes a few more steps. If you are running multiple calendars at once, things can get gnarly - Fantastical lets you customize sets of calendars to view at once, and they can even be location-based, so things don't get too crazy when viewing. Google Calendar keeps you on time, even when youre not online. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t make things extremely easy if you want to sync its services with others. You can customize your views for daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly, and your agenda of events appear in the sidebar as well.

With Fantastical, you are getting a fully functional desktop app that also has a menubar version for quick access.
