Specifying a calendar

You can specify which calendar you'd like to add an event to by typing a slash (/) followed by the calendar's name at the beginning or end of your sentence. For example, /h would switch to your calendar named Home and /w would switch to your Work calendar, etc. If you have more than one calendar that starts with the same letter, the next letter in the name that is different will be used to differentiate the calendar name.

Events with locations

Fantastical will automatically look for locations in the sentences you enter. For example, "Fishing trip at the lake on July 25th" will consider "the lake" as the location for the event. If you'd rather the event be named "Fishing trip at the lake," click the clear button next to the location field.

Removing the location from an event

Inviting people to events

Fantastical will search your Address Book when it looks like you're trying to invite someone to an event. For example, typing "Lunch with Matthew tomorrow" will highlight Matthew, allowing you to quickly invite Matthew to the event.

Creating reminders

Fantastical will automatically create a reminder if you don't specify a date or time for an event. You can explicitly tell Fantastical to create an event or reminder by clicking on the toggle slider at the top-right of the window.

If you'd like to force Fantastical to create a reminder regardless of what you enter, you can start a sentence with "reminder", "todo", "task", or "√" (option-V).

You can quickly set the priority of a new reminder by adding exclamation points to the end of your reminder. More exclamation points will increase the priority of the reminder.
