According to the vendor, Fantastical caters to individuals, small businesses, and large enterprises, serving a wide range of professions and industries. Professionals and executives can rely on Fantastical to efficiently manage their schedules and coordinate meetings.

Additionally, Fantastical provides a centralized platform for remote teams, facilitating collaboration and simplifying the scheduling of virtual meetings.

Widgets: Fantastical offers 14 customizable widgets that can be placed on the home screen, providing quick access to upcoming events, tasks, conference calls, weather updates, and more.

Powerful Views: Fantastical provides multiple views, including DayTicker, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, and Year, allowing users to choose the level of detail they prefer and easily switch between views for a comprehensive overview or focused scheduling.

Event & Task Templates: Fantastical enables users to create templates from existing events and tasks, streamlining the scheduling process for recurring events or tasks with pre-defined details.

Tasks: Fantastical integrates task management capabilities, enabling users to plan, schedule, and complete tasks directly within the app. Users receive notifications for due tasks, and overdue tasks automatically carry over to future dates to ensure they are not overlooked.

Users can effortlessly join conference calls with a single click or tap, leveraging popular services such as Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, and Webex.

I use Fantastical to manage my work calendar. We have a number of different sub-calendars, and Fantastical allows me to stay on top of what is happening in each.
  • Manage multiple calendars.
  • Data entry for events and tasks.
  • Connection between all my devices.
  • Sometimes there are issues in syncing calendars between devices.
Fantastical is excellent for someone who appreciates the ease of data entry without having to tick boxes and use drop-down menus. Fantastical also provides a number of different view options based on how the user prefers to see their calendar and tasks.
  • Ability to quickly and easily enter events and tasks.
Fantastical provides a visual experience that I appreciate more than the simplified Apple iCal design. It also provides a lot of options that help with the more detailed events.
