The app feels “heavy” to me, and I’d love to see a slimmed down (menu bar?) version of it. I know that Calendar apps are mature, but there is no reason Apple cannot continue to tweak or rethink aspects of the app.

We’ve gone two full years without a single new feature (except for Dark Mode). The last new feature update was a few years ago when it got time travel alerts. In a lot of ways, it’s felt stagnant for years. My issue with Apple Calendar is that it does nothing to stand out outside of being the default app. It works reliably with multiple calendars, it’s relatively easy to enter new appointments, and it’s easy to rearrange events. On the surface, it does everything you’d want it to do. It’s built into every Mac, and it syncs with iCloud, Google Calendar, Yahoo, Exchange, and general CalDAV servers. Of all the calendar apps on macOS, Apple’s built-in calendar is probably the most widely used.

So let’s get down to it: what’s the best calendar app for the Mac? Apple’s Calendar I keep all my tasks in a separate app, so I only use it for appointments. I have my way of managing my calendar, and that will undoubtedly skew my opinions. Like I always say when I write articles like this, this is purely based on opinion for me. Others only have their official meetings. Some people like to manage all of their tasks from it. I know that everyone uses their calendar in different ways. What’s the best calendar app for the Mac?.
