So Woven Calendar is leaving us
May 28th is last day for Woven users and I still can't find a suitable replacement. I need a multiplatform (Win, MacOS, iOS) product with a clean design, capable of managing multiple cloud calendar services (Google, Outlook, iCal). Woven also made life easier for me with its calendar availability links, Zoom integration, and event templates.
So what do you think?

Fantastical has been the best option for me. It can handle all of the reqs you listed above, and although it’s slightly pricey, I haven’t had a complaint yet!
There’s scheduling in Fantastical. I can send a link with some available times to a group of people for them to fill out their availability as well. Fantastical notifies me of the best time and then allows me to schedule the meeting for that time. It’s pretty seamless.
Oh I did not know that. So what are the differences between tools like Calendly, Acuity VS Woven, Fantastical ?
Woven had an analytics focus – tags allowed tracking of working hours vs non-working, focus time, recruiting and onboarding for HR folks, even time spent with family. I didn't use any of these features, I just liked the templates and custom scheduling URLs (I came from Woven and have landed on Calendly for my consultancy) .
Woah: Just went to Woven's site and found they were acquired by Slack in late April. Maybe there's hope that Slack one day will do all the scheduling things we need?
Hey-o,
So I've been using Track (thetrackapp.com) since Jan and frankly it's amazing. I think thats it's only for Mac right now, but the amazing think is that its a calendar with built in scheduling tools.
I switched from the built in calendar on Spark cause I wanted something which gave a similar experience to what Superhuman provides. It's keyboard focused and pretty fast.
Give it a go!
Léo, I am a user of Acuity which is the best option I’ve found so far to manage my private tutoring activity. You could have a look to Datelist, whose beginning is quite interesting. As for Calendly or X.AI, I found them too corporate oriented and not friendly for independant workers.
I like Datelist, but Calendly is good enough. I still need the rest of the calendar features though
Superhuman's calendar integration is pretty great! I just wish you could actually make a full event in plain text directly from the command palette.
SavvyCal crossed my radar recently. They're taking a different angle and they're one to watch.
I like the preferred times feature and multiple meeting durations in one link (Calendly requires multiple meeting templates).
Options I'm considering/testing:
- Fantastical : I've found it heavy in RAM, slow, not really fun to use
- Savvycal: interesting feature with calendar overlay for the recipient of scheduling links, but feel a bit disconnected to my workflow (gmail_
- Vimcal: very fast and nice UX, great scheduling
- Motion (usemotion.io): very fast and nice UX, great scheduling, very nice integration with Gmail
Vimcal and Motion are full calendar frontend, with scheduling, and fast UX. For me they seems to be the best options.
Three major considerations I have been using to evaluate the plethora of options available: 1. Effortless/non-intrusive: It shouldn't feel like a video call 2. Price: As this app would be complime...

Hey guys, first post here. As part of my work, I have to deal with and respond to a lot of incoming messages from different chats: Linkedin/WhatsApp/Signal/IG. I try to use Unreads/Archive features...
yes but it is not made for scheduling ! I think Leo meant scheduling app more than calendar app.
