Description
To Do List. Planner. Schedule
BusyCal is the most powerful, flexible, reliable calendar app for macOS. It's packed with innovative, time-saving features including customizable views, calendar sets, integrated tasks, travel time, smart filters, natural language input, weather, moons, graphics, tags, do not disturb mode and much more.

CUSTOMIZABLE VIEWS

BusyCal displays your calendar in Day, Week, Month, Year and List views. What makes BusyCal unique is its ability to customize these views to more precisely meet your needs. You can choose the number of weeks shown per month, or days shown per week, and you can even customize the calendar's appearance by choosing a font face and size, calendar colors, time format, work week and a lot more.

INTEGRATED TASKS

In BusyCal, Tasks are integrated into your calendar, display on the date or time they are due, and carry forward until completed. You can also display a Task List in the sidebar. NOTE: Reminders in iOS 13 / macOS 10.15 is not compatible with BusyCal.

INFO PANEL

BusyCal's info panel enables you to quickly view and edit event details with speed and precision. The info panel can be displayed in the sidebar, as a popup or a floating window. And it's completely customizable, you can choose from a wide range of attributes to display including time zones, tags, maps, private notes, last edit time and more.

NATURAL LANGUAGE INPUT

BusyCal enables you to create events and tasks using natural language. A preview of the event details are displayed while you type as it recognizes titles, dates and times, locations and more. You can even use it to add contacts or attendees to an event, set alarms, add URLs, and to indicate the calendar to create the event on.

TRAVEL TIME

BusyCal allows you to block out time for walking, driving or taking mass transit to an event or location. You can set a fixed amount of travel time or determine it automatically using the integrated support for Location Services and Apple Maps. You can even receive alerts when it's time to leave as traffic conditions change.

MENU BAR APP

The BusyCal menu bar app is always running, even when the main BusyCal app is not running, so you always have access to your schedule. 

SMART FILTERS

BusyCal's Smart Filters are a powerful tool for managing your calendar. Smart Filters can be accessed with a keyboard shortcut or a button on the toolbar to display calendar sets (showing/hiding multiple calendars), perform saved searches (events that contain 'Joe'), apply view settings (an 8-week month view) and much more.

ALARMS

BusyCal displays alarms in a movable, resizable floating window that offers the ability to snooze an alarm for any number of minutes from now or before the start of an event, or snooze multiple alarms at once. And BusyCal Alarms trigger even when the main BusyCal app isn't running, so you'll never miss an important appointment.

WEATHER & MOONS

BusyCal displays a live 5-day weather forecast, phases of the moon, and sunrise and sunset times. 

GRAPHICS

BusyCal lets you add graphics to your calendar to highlight holidays and special events. You can choose from the built-in Emoji and IconFinder images, or drag images from your desktop or web.

BUSYCONTACTS INTEGRATION

BusyCal integrates with its sister app, BusyContacts, forming a flexible easy-to-use CRM solution. By adding contacts to events in BusyCal, you have instant access to a contact's email address and phone number, as well as a record in BusyContacts of your interactions with them.

SYNC AND SHARE CALENDARS

BusyCal supports iCloud, Reminders, Todoist, Google, Exchange, Office 365, CalDAV, Fastmail, Custom CalDAV Servers, Zoom, Google Meets, GoToMeeting Integration, LAN sharing as well as WebDAV subscriptions, enabling you to sync calendars with other Mac and iOS devices running BusyCal or the built-in Calendar app. This includes the ability to share calendars, schedule meetings, and view the availability of others.

Have to pay to use.

$4 a month to use or $33 a year. Not worth it just use another free planner/calander like google calander

Potential

This app is truly great, but they make you buy a seprate app for the iphone ios, why can't I just buy one app and use it across my devices?

More Organized!

I love how I can add tasks to each day and it shows on the calendar. It helps keep me more organized on what I need to get done. I also love how it seamlessly integrated all of my calendars.

Not a free app

Although it's apparently possible to cancel within the first two weeks without paying, this app didn't indicate it requires "In-app purchases" in order to use it at all. There's a popup with purchase options that prevents one from doing anything before making some sort of committment. No thanks!

Outstanding Calendar Alternative

My company's SecOps team did a thorough analysis of how BusyCal functions and gave it their seal of approval as an alternative calendar for macOS. In our environment, we're unable to add personal calendars using Outlook but with BusyCal, I can have my iCloud calendar, other calendar "subscriptions" and my very busy professional calendar in one view - VERY good to have. I've tried other good calendars like Fantastical, but because they wouldn't pass the security tests my company requires, I'm not able to use them. BusyCal functionality is excellent and I highly recommend it, not just for every day personal calendaring but if you're concerned about the security of the data, if our company passes it, yours may very well too.

Awesome!

Was using Fantastical up till now...but BusyCal is so much better! Only thing Fanstastical has over BusyCal is apple watch app... but otherwise no contest. BusyCal has a better interface, easier to use. Love it.
