Vimcal

Vimcal is a calendar app designed for speed, aimed at busy professionals who manage a high volume of meetings. It unifies Google Calendar and Outlook accounts into one view, offers cross-timezone availability visualization, and includes a dedicated "Vimcal EA" variant built for executive assistants scheduling on behalf of others.

Fantastical

Fantastical, made by Flexibits, is a calendar and task app for Apple platforms and Windows that merges Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Exchange, iCloud, Todoist, and CalDAV accounts into one unified view. Events can be created by typing plain-language phrases like 'Meeting with Sarah at 1pm tomorrow,' and the app automatically detects and adds video-call links from Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and Webex. Beyond personal scheduling, Fantastical includes scheduling tools such as Openings for sharing availability and Proposals for coordinating meeting times with others, plus day/week/month/quarter/year views and customizable widgets. A free tier covers basic calendar use, while Fantastical Premium unlocks advanced scheduling features for individuals, families, and teams.

Sunsama

Sunsama is a daily planning tool built around the idea of a deliberate morning planning ritual and an end-of-day shutdown, rather than an ever-growing backlog. It pulls tasks in from tools like Asana, ClickUp, Jira, Linear, Notion, and Todoist alongside your calendar, so you plan your actual day in one place instead of switching between apps. A built-in focus mode with a Pomodoro timer helps protect blocks of work time, while the daily shutdown ritual prompts a structured wrap-up of what got done. Time analytics show where your time actually goes across tasks and projects, and weekly objectives keep daily planning tied to bigger goals.
