About Fantastical
Fantastical is a commercial calendar and tasks application from Flexibits that brings work and personal calendars into one organized view. It is known for natural language input, so a user can type a sentence to create an event or reminder rather than filling in a form.
The vendor presents it as a way to avoid double-booking and missed updates when juggling several calendars, such as personal, family, work and side projects. It also offers scheduling links so others can pick a time with you. The site offers a free trial, a Mac download, a companion contacts app called Cardhop, and a pricing page.
Fantastical is proprietary software distributed through the vendor's site and Apple's app stores. It is built primarily for Apple devices and relies on the user's existing calendar accounts, so there is no self-hosting. It suits professionals and small business owners who manage many calendars.
