Features

  • Natural language event entry

    Events and tasks are created by typing a plain sentence such as a meeting name with a day and time, and the app turns it into a calendar entry.

  • Single unified calendar view

    Work and personal calendars are combined into one organized view, which the app presents as a way to avoid double-bookings and missed updates.

  • Mac, iPhone, iPad and Watch apps

    The app runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro, with calendars kept in sync through a Flexibits account.

  • Calendar mirroring

    Events from one calendar are mirrored into another so overlapping entries appear as a single busy block, listed among the Premium tier features.

  • Full-screen calendar views

    Full-screen day, week, month, quarter and year views are available in the free tier along with notifications and weather forecasts.

What users say

Pros

  • Calendar sets keep work and personal calendars separated, making a large number of accounts easy to manage.
  • Duplicate events across several calendars collapse into a single entry, and mirroring blends overlapping work and client calendars together.
  • Reminders and Todoist to-dos sit in a checklist beside the calendar, keeping open tasks visible while planning the day.
  • Exchange work calendars sync reliably without connection or syncing errors.
  • Recurring appointments become reusable templates, cutting the setup work for repeating weekly or monthly events.

Cons

  • The annual subscription renews at a high price that is hard to justify once Apple Calendar covers similar features.
  • Setting up a shared family calendar across several personal and work accounts fails to show each other's events as advertised.
  • Corporate security policies flag the AI integration and revoke access, cutting off work calendars on iPhone and iPad.
  • Completed tasks move back to the day they were scheduled, leaving no record of the actual completion time.
