Has since switched to a subscription model for a "premium" version. A lot of unhappy folks now. Dropping 1 star.

two starts for the natural language event creation. I paid for it and, shortly after, they tried me to pay every month. I switched to Itsycal, FOSS

Fantastical – Settings... – Alerts – Automatically add an alert to all new – Timed Events

"Default alerts are only available with Flexibits Premium."

Fantastical is a beautiful polished application. Natural language input is good. UX is good.

it is a great app. I wish it had a Windows version or at least a web app given its price now.

I have used it with premium for a long time. With the new price of $7 a month, for a calendar app it is now too expensive for me.

The free versions lack some features that I do need.

It's the best menu bar calendar, hands down. Every other app has something annoying to it. This one just doesn't. And this one is reliable.

Simple to set up against cloud accounts such as Google Apps. Easy to use with natural language. Easy access with mini calendar. Great integration with OS and cloud.
