​Is it just me or are all calendar apps trying to do way too much now?

​I have been spending a bit of time testing out different calendar apps over the last few weeks to clean up my daily routine. It seems like every tool I try wants to be a full project management dashboard, a task manager, a habit tracker, and an AI scheduling assistant all at once.

​Honestly, I usually just want a clean view of my day, quick event entry, and decent timezone handling. Half the time, all the extra features end up feeling like clutter rather than actual help. ​For those of you who use dedicated calendar tools, do you actually use all those extra features, or have you found a minimalist app that just sticks to doing the basics really well?

Honestly, I'd notice a cleaner week view way more than another productivity feature.

I used to use Fantastical on my Mac, but the features started to bug me, so I ended up building my own. Funny thing is, once I try to add the stuff competitors have, my calendar starts feeling bloated too. But I agree with you, being easy to read is the most important thing in a calendar. That's why I'm pretty obsessive about the UI.
