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 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.
I really like Vimcal but It's getting a little outdated in 2024 with no insight into roadmap.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.
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.
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.
