Meet Fantastical, king of calendar apps
We continue our Awesome Apps series with a look at Fantastical, an easy-to-use but surprisingly powerful calendar app.
Awesome Apps highlights the best apps around. We feature our favorite apps as well as new and notable ones.
Fantastical has long been a power-user favorite, thanks to several advanced features, like integration with Reminders and weather forecasts.
Check it out if you're always fashionably late or unfashionably disorganized.

Years ago, I decided to ditch my paper Filofax diary for my iPhone, before quickly realizing that Apple’s built-in Calendar app didn’t fully meet my needs. Fortunately, it didn’t take long to find the perfect third-party calendar app for iOS, iPadOS and macOS. It’s called Fantastical – let me tell you about it.
Tesla drivers can add CarPlay to their vehicles, thanks to a workaround by a Polish developer. Michał Gapiński found a way to add CarPlay to his vehicle using a pair of Raspberry Pis and Tesla’s built-in web browser.

In the world of watch bands, nylon is sometimes overlooked in favor of steel, leather or silicone, but it's an exceptionally good material for the job. The popular brand BluShark sells a selection of them in the Cult of Mac Store at a good price.
Clip the Backbone One to your iPhone to get the physical buttons and sticks you’ve been missing. It has a lot in common with an Xbox controller, while being designed specifically for iPhones. I completely love it, especially for cloud gaming.
The Apple TV 4K with 32GB storage is down to $149.99 on Amazon after a $29.01 discount. The streaming box from Apple retails for $179, so you are scoring a sweet 16% discount on its MSRP.
On May 9, 2005, Apple quietly begins selling music videos in the iTunes Music Store. It's the beginning of a very profitable video business.
Recently we wrote about a PC gamer converting to the Apple ecosystem, happily, with an M1 MacBook Pro-based setup. Now we have a lucky recipient of not one but two recently shipped Studio Displays, freshly arrived to replace a pair of gaming monitors.
