   A smart calendar app to boost my productivity

   I love the way I can quickly glance at the next meeting in the menu bar on MacOS. I can also get the overview of all the upcoming meetings with one click from the menu bar icon or with keyboard shortcut. It definitely saves my time in searching the calendar tab in the browser a gazillion times in a day.

   The event notifications are also very helpful as they show up just one minute before the meeting starts and allow me to join meetings with just one click on the ‘Join’ button.

   The notifications come with a great functionality of notifying attendees of the meeting in case I am running late for the meeting via Slack without opening the window of native Slack app and searching for the attendee just to send a small message that I am running late for the meeting. Thank you to the Alkanzo team for saving me from the last minute hassle every now and then while I am running late for my next meeting!

   🏁 Competitors: Superpowered, MeetingBar

   👍 Pros:    Nice and slick design.|Timely notifications, just one minute before the meeting starts.|Runs on mac, windows and linux. i can use it on pretty much any of your laptops and desktops|Connects with google calendar and microsoft outlook calendar, two of the most popular calendar apps at present|Reasonable pricing.

   👎 Cons:    I would really love to see this app expand its scope beyond just giving an overview of upcoming meetings to also help me to keep track and give an overview of the tasks that i want to get done on time.

• Calendar advice for home + work?

  I use an app called Fantastical (https://flexibits.com/fantastical). I believe it is macOS/iOS only, but there might be alternatives with work with other systems. Basically, I add in my work Office365 account and my personal iCloud and it shows everything together. Whenever I'm making an appointment, I just check that rather than my Outlook calendar.

• Sick of Fastmails subpar iOS app

  Looks like most of your issues are with the calendar. For this I highly recommend an app dedicated to this, like Fantastical, BusyCal, Calendar366 or even a native ios calendar app. These apps have clients for ios, macos and even watchos. Lots of config options and nice features and timely notifications. Source: about 1 year ago

• Productivity apps - recommendations needed

  I personally have been trying out Fantastical and it literally is life changing doing everything in a calendar. You can make a recurring event or something and have it notify you whenever you want. The time limit can be achieved by just creating the duration. Although I'm unsure about the "mark as done" functionality. Source: over 1 year ago
