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.

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.

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.

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.
