Fantastical from Flexibits is so much more than natural language event creation for your calendar. The app has been solving everyday calendar problems with common-sense solutions for 15 years now.

The latest version of Fantastical is no exception. It tackles the age-old problem of accidentally double-booking yourself for events. One calendar shows you’re free while the other has something scheduled.

Fantastical’s fix is fitting for the app because it gives you granular control. Here’s how it works.

Fantastical’s new calendar mirroring feature is designed with all of this in mind. Flexibits has a new video from David Sparks that explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. Check it out:
