Thank you for making a calendar app that's highly customizable without breaking. This is the 6th calendar app I'm changing to, and I think this may be just what I've been looking for all this time. Clean UI, very fast, and easy to use. The natural language command bar is probably my favorite feature. Being able to quickly perform repetitive actions with the shortcuts is also a big win for people like me that don't like using the mouse for everything.
its so sad that most of the calendar apps like notion calendar and routine only support Google Calendar. In Europe, most of the business people use self hosted or outlook
This. I use apple calendar since I used iPhone and iPad, but recently I swap to an android phone so I’m searching for cross platform app that allows to sync with my apple calendar. So far I couldn’t find any but Google and outlook.
I tried Google Calendar but it has far less iPhone widget features than Apples Calendar App. I really like to categorize my calendar entries so that I can scroll down the widget from a rougher view with the most important entries of the week to a more detailed view of the day. Are any of these app fulfilling this need or is it kind of an apple exclusive?
i guess i keep searching. call me oldschool but i prefer simple things all the way. if putting something down into a calendar takes more time than just writing it down with a pen into a notebook, its already useless because the entire idea of a calendar is to make things easier and not to to make me spend more time. i dont need any of that fancy stuff, neither do i want A.I have anything to do with my calendar. heck this a.i sht can stay out of my computer alltogether.
bro then why you watching this video. i swear people are apposed to things because they dont understand them because they're too rigid minded to even look into it, keep your pen and paper bro
@@mstr1820 what do you mean by not even looking into them. i tried many things and looked into many things, and it turns out most of them straight up suck and simple life just works
I have golf practice every weekday from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm and boxing every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm. My 8-day Pull, Push, Legs, Rest workout split doesn’t align with a 7-day week, causing clashes with boxing. I need a solution to manage my workouts without overlapping my fixed commitments. Does anyone know which app to use?
Francesco. Bro. I love your channel. I truly do. So I say this with loving criticism. If you have a video where there is little to no android stuff can you make it clear by making it known from the get go, or putting the android stuff up front and letting us know the rest is apple. This is not a shot against Apple but a request as a fan of your work. The last thing someone wants to do is get to the end of a video and feel like they wasted their time... Than the face they see and voice they hear is yours. This will cause people to look for other options. Just a piece of advice. 😎
I use monthly calendar and in the entire video he doesn't show how the monthly calendar looks like on any of the options. It can be really confusing to use a monthly calendar so knowing how it looks like is a life saver, especially when you have ADHD like myself.
Google as my main, but using Notion's iOS widget and Windows app to time block with my Notion databases. I'd ditch Google and TickTick if Notion had proper recurring tasks and calendar events!
Which one amongst these does not require you to connect to any email account to work? I just want a simple calendar that does not require I connect/link an email like outlook, Google mail etc. to work.
Notion would be the closest, but it really is a pipe dream in the sense that there will always be steep compromises in any “all in one” solution. Could work if you mainly care about one or two features more than the rest (ex. Tasks and Calendar > notes as an afterthought - in that case I’d look at TickTick). The general workflow and thought behind how you engage in each of these apps should be different enough that you can acknowledge the benefit of having them separate and/or focused in their own domain. There’s a lot of decent extensions for these apps which can work too (ex. Todoist + Google Calendar two way sync). I would highly recommend looking into the “Second Brain” workflow system. The key is to get the general idea and implement it yourself as there’s tons of hyper OCD productivity gurus that overcomplicate things and spend more time on perfecting a productivity system opposed to actually using it.
I’m a motorcycle salesman I use my computer and my phone. I have an iPhone. What app would best correspond with both devices that I can get alerts on since I have ADHD and have time management problems
Is there any calendar where recurring events and / or tasks don't show in the calendar (which tends to make it cluttered) but do show as a notification so you can act on it?
Apple ecosystem - Native calendar app can do this fairly well by creating a separate profile and hiding it from view (you’ll still get notifications). Google Calendar - You can toggle the tasks/reminders from calendar view. Same and simple solution as apple calendar. Unfortunately there is no dedicated desktop app so you’d have to use the browser. Todoist + Google Calendar - Utilize the two way sync extension for Todoist so that all of your reoccurring Todoist tasks show up on calendar. This way you’ll get the notifications (via google calendar) and can toggle the them on and off from the view. Very similar solution to apple calendar option but IMO it’s far faster and easier to add quick or reoccurring tasks via Todoist given their very thought out UI/UX and natural language processing (ex. “Remind me to take out the trash every other Tuesday at 6pm”). I would also look at Tick Tick which has a lot of the same features as Todoist such as NPL while also having a built in calendar, pomodoro timer, Eisenhower matrix, and habit tracking. Simple option - just use a task management app separate from calendar. Given that you don’t want to see the tasks on your calendar, but want to receive notifications, you may be better off just using a separate app altogether. To me tasks and events serve a different purpose and workflow, so unless you want to sometimes see the tasks at a glance on your calendar (in that case use one of the options above) then just use a specialized app for task management.
In Morgen the UX is optimized to act through multiple calendars, in turn this can help with your use case by saving recurrent tasks/events in a separate calendar, that then you can bring up/down as easily as hitting a digit on your keyboard using the calendar sets feature.
Hi Francesco, love your channel! @keepproductive Me & my other half are expecting our first child and want to get more coordinated with our calendars, what app would you recommend for couples, in my mind i'm thinking we both have our own calendars and we can then see both of those.
I have a specific question: Let's say you use Google Calendar because all of your family members are using it and have shared their calendars with you so you can see whether a specific day is okay to schedule something. You would like to use something even nicer but would still like to see what your family has planned. Which of these calendars can you then use?
@@toolfinderhq What do you think the difference is? Is it more difficultto plan your day? I am currently trying to compare Morgen with Routine, as these two have a free tier, and are on the devices I use. I also only use google calendar so everything should work for me I would love to hear your thoughts on the differences! I know its much to ask but a "vs" of the two would be more than amazing. Also I would love for you to mention the state of the mobile apps too in your videos, since that can be a big part of the user experience. In this particular case, I reckon Routine app should be more complete than Morgen, but I am not sure.
All i need is an app that i can sync my host email addresses, my google and outlook. I also wish the same app would have a to do list, tasks, reminders or notes. Id be happy to pay.
What happen if you got appointments for your company and the app is down 1 week? Also Any.do was having problem you could read other peoples notes like bankaccount and password for example. What is the best NON online app?
Fantastical, busycal, Amie and Calendars from Readdle all do I think. Maybe more of them. Of all of them fantasticals Integration is best. Instant two way sync with tags, priorities and lists
I’ve used it for years, but suddenly I can’t delete any appointments, and everything is set to repeat and I can’t change that. For example, I had three days blocked off in October of 2023 for out-of-town guests - that has been showing up every week since last October and I can’t delete it. It’s wry frustrating!
Don't just give your data, your calendar is your business. If you would not tell all your plans to the people around you then why give that away to a company that might spread that information around to make profit. Do some investigation before you provide this data to a company you do not know
This list is horrible. No Sunsama, Akiflow, Motion, and others. Sunsama alone is one of the most robust calendar apps for a corporate business users with integrations like Jira, ToDoist, Trello, Slack and Outlook.
Sunsama, Akiflow and Motion are what we determine as general planner apps, between tasks and calendar apps. This is more pure, or close to calendar apps.
I agreed. The list is missing all the best apps. Almost all the calendars apps these days are incorporating some kind of task. Apps like Akiflow are way more powerful than all the apps listed on the list in the video. In my opinion you should have at least mention it. Best.
@@toolfinderhq I appreciate the response but you've included other identical apps that have time blocking and tasks in this list. I've watched your videos for years and it's why I started using Sunsama and why I tried some of these others. You referred to them as calendar apps yourself. Yes some of a little function of a planning routine but the other 99% of the application is exactly what you showed in this video.

Thanks for letting us know@@anonymously94, we absolutely love hearing this. Excited that 6th time was the charm!

Yes this is the dealbreaker!!! Almost all of my email accounts are not hosted by google.
Not Morgen, in Morgen you can connect all your calendars, Outlook, GCal, iCloud, etc. plus the Notion integration just came out today
Morgen supports also Outlook, apple calendar, Fastmail and any CalDAV
This. I use apple calendar since I used iPhone and iPad, but recently I swap to an android phone so I’m searching for cross platform app that allows to sync with my apple calendar. So far I couldn’t find any but Google and outlook.
@@lynnlooi5346 me too, switched to android! Morgen Calender provides and it is really really good! But a bit pricey! But still I might get it
Is this an Apple focused channel? Didn't see many options for Windows + Android.
Please, retitle to "best calendars on iphone" so Android users don't waste time.
Many of these you can get on Android, but as a sorry we're going to do Best Calendar Apps for Android.
Your typical Windows user here, time wasted.
LINUX USER HERE -_-! CAN YOU MAKE ONE FOR LINUX ASWELL1??
Blackberry user here, extremely disappointed
Nokia 3310 user here. All of this are useless to me
Thank you so much for this useful and detailed review of the best calendar apps!
Yay Morgen!

@@mstr1820 what do you mean by not even looking into them. i tried many things and looked into many things, and it turns out most of them straight up suck and simple life just works
Tried busycal? It’s basically fantastical but a tenner one off and has calendar sets.
I need outlook and gcal for appointments, so apart from platforms, would be cool if your list provided this info (supported calendars) as well
Morgen supports both Outlook and GCal (but also iCloud, and any other CalDAV).
any luck with this? I am managing an exec calendar. I need the same and to be added as delegate to view and manage. Thx!!
what calendar can display & search all past, present and future events?
No busycal?
you missed Akiflow?
Just ate the costly frog of my annual Fantastical subscription. Glad it’s stil Francesco approved.

I need to find a way to highlight more Android available calendar apps, but there aren’t many of them, I agree with you, thank you.
Seconded. That many different types of OS's etc so it's hard to keep everyone happy
Fantastic options, your videos are always full of great options and alternative calandar and productivity ideas.
Any admin assistants on here or execs? What is the best calendar app to delegate with multiple complex calendars?
I'm a personal trainer. Which calendar would you suggest that has the option to share it with my colleagues and them be able to edit it too???
what's a calendar application that allows me to actually scribble in it using apple pen or a stylus?
I use monthly calendar and in the entire video he doesn't show how the monthly calendar looks like on any of the options. It can be really confusing to use a monthly calendar so knowing how it looks like is a life saver, especially when you have ADHD like myself.
*What's your go-to calendar apps folks?!*
So far, I'm loving Routine. The Dashboard & console are lightning fast.
Google as my main, but using Notion's iOS widget and Windows app to time block with my Notion databases. I'd ditch Google and TickTick if Notion had proper recurring tasks and calendar events!
Fantastical - still it is fantastic :) and! I simple dont want to move my calendar to Google so options are limited
It was Cozi Family Organizer, but they recently announced changes to the free version that will make it useless, so I'm shopping around.
Is there is calender app where I can set a notification when I want to end my meeting?
Are these calendar application's or appointment managers?
Which one amongst these does not require you to connect to any email account to work? I just want a simple calendar that does not require I connect/link an email like outlook, Google mail etc. to work.
maybe a pipe dream but is there any easy calendar, task, notes app to just organize my life in one app??????

Amplenote. It's great!
Leaving out Android apps from the get go often shows me to not put much confidence in a tool.
Busy cal is brilliant. Does calendar sets like fantastical but cheaper.
I’m a motorcycle salesman I use my computer and my phone. I have an iPhone. What app would best correspond with both devices that I can get alerts on since I have ADHD and have time management problems
Kind of makes sense to just use Apple Calendar. If you have an Apple watch too it can notify you also of events.
ok, after watching, my best calendar app is still the one i am building for myself.

Any that support a google calendar; so fantastical, notion... most of them should support it
And Morgen too!😁
The Windows version was just released, but it doesn't open< anyone else with this problem?
Why did you not mention Calendly?
How about Routine app? What do you think about it?
Routine is more a general planner app

And I don't want an AI incorporated calender either
Which app is the one on the thumbnail?
Not sure about the others, but the sun-like one on the right is Morgen ;)
I was talking about the background calendar view@@davidtedaldi1991
Amie is awesome, i am following as beta user since a year already. but the breakthrough would be the integration of apple reminders (and maybe notes).
A lot of bugs.
Love the Ferrari in the background
Aha, thnaks.
Always wondered what Will from inbetweeners end up doing
I’ve heard this one before 🤣
No Sunsama, Akiflow, Ellie or Skedpal :/
What happen if you got appointments for your company and the app is down 1 week?
Also Any.do was having problem you could read other peoples notes like bankaccount and password for example. What is the best NON online app?
7:50 Update: Rise calendar is also available on Windows and the beta ended quite some time ago
Why do you hate Akiflow?
Any of these integrate with apple reminders?
Fantastical, busycal, Amie and Calendars from Readdle all do I think. Maybe more of them.
Of all of them fantasticals Integration is best. Instant two way sync with tags, priorities and lists
I know BusyCal does
Fantastical as well.
Apart from Hey they all look pretty much the same.
