@mikeyyyzhao and @john_li3 have made something absolutely wonderful over here... Been a user for a bit now (Jan '21), and here are my favourite things about this product -
1. Keyboard Shortcuts - it takes a while to get used to them, but once you get used to them, it just... works. Everything feels so fluid and fast and honestly, toggling time zones, selecting availability and even creating events.
2. NLP for creating events - I don't have to go about filling out 100s of fields... There's one bar which you need to type in and Vimcal automatically does the rest!
3. Their team - not something which you usually love about a SaaS company but these guys roll out features faster than any other company out there. You request for something and @mikeyyyzhao will be emailing you about making it happen in no time.
4. Looks - Google Calendar just looks ugly and fortunately, Vimcal is a feast for the eyes. The painter settings are pretty amazing and the emojis before event names are sooo cute :D
Cheers to the team!
I've been using (and paying for) Vimcal for several months. It's similar to many other calendar tools, but with one super useful feature: A streamlined workflow for suggesting meeting times.
Simply drag and drop your preferred meeting times and Vimcal will generate a copy snippet that's easy to copy and paste in an email or elsewhere. You can also include Calendly-style hyperlinks.
I've been using Vimcal for about a month, and it's precisely what I've needed. I operate across multiple client calendars (Google and Microsoft) and always struggled to cobble together a universal calendar (outlook, fantastical, apple calendar) with task management (sunsama, Monday, asana) and with a scheduler (calendly).
Vimcal has absolutely nailed it. The unified calendar is the best I've used and most intuitive (identifying duplicate meetings across accounts is very clever), and the ease of sending along availabilities in a polite and time zone-sensitive manner completely outdoes schedulers like Calendly which are roughly the same price for just the scheduling.
I would love to see more ability for time blocking around tasks, but for being a complete solution for universal calendar and scheduling, Vimcal is best in class. The onboarding process was fantastic and I was up and running quickly.
It felt like I'm taking control of the calendar completely. Nimble and quick!
I tried Vimcal for about a year before cancelling, but I absolutely loved it. Visually I thought it was stunning. The UI takes a little getting used to, but once I figured it out (with the help of their superb customer support), I was flying through it to get to the features I needed and used most. I only cancelled because I've moved to using Apple Calendar almost exclusively for personal and work, and they only support Google right now. If/when they expand, I will be back for sure. I felt it was well worth the price.
Review of Vimcal
I'm actually excited to be using my calendar now. Been using it since the jump :) Great job team!!
Clean, smart, beautiful, capable. I've used a ton of calendar apps and with most, there's usually a bug or glitch of some kind—maybe a small detail about how it syncs with Google Calendar, or handles time zones, etc.—but Vimcal has highest attention to detail of any app I've used. And a responsive tech team. More than once I've been told (by engineers on other calendar apps), "Yeah we know about that and we're not gonna fix it." I've NEVER heard that from the Vimcal team.
