![]() ![]() Fantastical Premium – the name of the new service – costs $4.99/month or $39.99/year and brings a collection of brand new functionalities, integrations, as well as enhancements to existing features. In many ways, the new Fantastical is a distillation of themes typically found in the modern productivity app scene: the app is free, and the developers have switched to a subscription model to unlock a variety of premium features. The new Fantastical 1, available today on the App Store, is a single app that runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

The app isn’t new, but the recent addition of time zone support caught my eye, and it has played an important role in my daily workflow ever since I began using Apple’s Calendar app again.

I also share a calendar with Federico for scheduling podcast recording times and other events, but that’s about it. I have a shared family calendar to keep tabs on personal obligations and a personal MacStories calendar for work-related events. ![]()
