Fantastical, a multiple award-winning calendar app previously available only on Mac, has just launched a version for Windows PCs. The developers behind Fantastical announced the release today, bringing popular features like the Fantastical parser, Tasks, and Mini Window support to Windows users.
Flexbits, the team behind Fantastical calendar app, wrote the following regarding the Windows app launch:
We’ve spent the last 4 years making Fantastical better than ever across Apple devices, and with version 4.0 we decided to go even bigger by finally bringing the world’s best calendar app to a Windows PC near you.
Fantastical follows a freemium model. The free version offers a modern calendar app with light and dark themes, basic event management, a mini window for viewing schedules from the system tray, various views (full-screen day, week, month, quarter, and year), task support from Todoist, Google Tasks, and an AccuWeather-powered 3-day weather forecast.
