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