For example, instead of creating a calendar event and typing 'Lunch with Al' for a title, then moving to the location field to type 'The Palace Restaurant,' then manually setting start and end times, including the date - an overly complicated process - Fantastical has users type 'Lunch with Al at The Palace at noon on Thursday.' The app then figures out what the users mean, displaying changes on the fly so that the users can be sure they're entering the event properly, and adds it to the calendar.Īt the end of the day, Fantastical for Mac was just a menulet, so users would still need to use the standard calendar app (or a third-party alternative) to look at full-screen, large-windowed views of calendars and events.
