Every aspect of how you receive notifications and when you get them is customizable. You can set defaults for calendars, reminder lists, and notifications. Fantastical 2 for Mac supports 2-step verification for Google accounts but if you have it enabled for iCloud, you'll need to generate an app specific password. It can pull your data right from the internet accounts section of OS X and filter in local calendars. Fantastical 2 is meant to fix Fantastical." Simple setupĪdding accounts to Fantastical remains simple. That was the original purpose of Fantastical - it was meant to fix iCal.

We started with a better and faster way not only to enter events, but to view them. "It was a way to fix the frustrations I had with iCal. "I built Fantastical for myself," Simmons said. Once you're done entering events or viewing your calendar, just hit escape and continue what you were doing. Assign a universal keyboard shortcut - the default is ctrl + option + space - and you can access the menu bar window from anywhere. If you're just entering an event, the menu bar version of Fantastical does what it's always done best. That's the great thing about Fantastical 2 for Mac - you can use it based on what you need to get done. You can get both views right in Fantastical. It means, if you're already using Fantastical, there's no reason to switch back to the built-in Calendar app anymore. If you're in day view you also get a side panel to the right that will show detailed info on a selected event, very similar to what the stock Calendar app shows. It offers the same views as the built-in OS X Calendar app but makes better use of the space off the the left with the list view, which always remains static no matter what view you choose. What has changed in Fantastical 2 is the addition of a new full calendar mode. Think of it as a personal assistant like Siri, only one that you type to instead of talk to. If you want to toggle between reminders, just type reminder at the beginning. You can also quickly switch between calendars by typing a "/" and then the first few letters of the calendar name at the end of your entry.

Natural language support covers all kinds of things such as adding alarms, designating an event as repeating, and much more.
