Vimcal

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.

Vimcal has done for my calendar what Superhuman did for my inbox.

Really happy with the ability to 'time-travel' to look at my calendar in multiple time zones, as well as being able to select multiple slots people can choose from for meetings.

Very fast, strangely similar to Superhuman to the point that they could both be from the same company. Definitely similar design ethos. I’m in my first week and still trying to see if it justifies the cost.

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.

the best calendar EVER!! super intuitive and easy to use

I usually have to combine 3 to 6 different calendars as I have different email/cal accounts for various clients, as well as my own personal ones. And when my clients are on outlook, it usually gets tricky to check my availability as outlook doesn't play nicely with google calendar - and outlook sometimes simply refuses to sync nicely even with apple calendar (usually works, but depends on my client's sec settings - a recent client's outlook worked ok for laptop apple calendar, but failed for my iPhone apple calendar. Annoying!) Vimcal's the only one I've found that gives proper integration between all my calendars. Fast and smooth to use, handy shortcuts for everything. I even quite like the 'focus mode' approach (just background music or white noise and no distractions - could use binaural beats, mind you; and a pomodoro timer would be nice - but unusual and helpful addition) Really nice timezone approach. Uses flexible location names - so just specify the city and it does the rest - why doesn't everything else do that? I can never remember what US city is in which timezone. It even offers booking pages where users can check your availability - so I'm swapping from calendly to this. I don't think it has a general landing page eg /bob/; just the slot-based ones eg /bob/60mins - which is fine for me but might be a problem for some. And it's a tad more awkward than calendly to amend, as there's no way to change your hours on specific date - doesn't matter for me but also might be a problem for some. One other thing it's missing which I'd love, is to have a proper apple watch integration - you get notifications on the watch ok, but there's no watch app. But - love it. Far better than Apple, Google or Microsoft's calendars - and infinitely better if, like me, your calendars are a hot mess of frequently changing accounts.

Been using Vimcal for 2+ years -- shortcuts save time. Intuitive use. Native scheduling. Love it!

I really like Vimcal but It's getting a little outdated in 2024 with no insight into roadmap. Here's to hoping the company is going to invest in Vimcal as they are their newer products.

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.
