QuickCal lets you use plain text to create events and todos on any of your Mac OS iCal calendars! Tap a hotkey, type what you want, and done! Use simple, natural language, like:

"Pick up Joe @ LAX tomorrow 8p"
"Pay taxes before 4/15!"
"Lunch tomorrow at noon"
"Cycling class @6 for 1.5h"

As you type, QuickCal will show you what it is thinking, as well as pointing out any schedule conflicts with events you're about to create!

You'll be amazed how much quicker you can create events than using any other calendar app (native or otherwise). Nothing is

The reason I chose Fantastical rather than this is that I prefer e-mail alarms and as near as I can tell Quick Cal doesn't support this feature.

Three emails requesting support for an issue with QC not displaying repeating to-do items in its menu bar drop-down menu. No response to any of them. THREE emails, all ignored. An abysmal showing by the developer. Suggest that prospective users keep this in mind and consider alternatives.

QuickCal is right near (and possibly at) the top of my must-have apps that I absolutely could not live with out. I've been a long-time user of the Dashboard widget, and now the menu bar and iPhone apps have extended QuickCal's fast, simple, and powerful design philosophy. Removes the stress of managing appointments with a one-step input solution that just works. I rarely have to open iCal, as QuickCal automatically sets intelligent alerts that I've grown to trust, and can quickly refer to the menu bar for a list of upcoming appointments if needed.

MacOS 10.7.2 - downloaded the demo - when attempting to open I get a text file showing credits but no program - nothing in the dock - no window - exactly nothing. Closing the text file window doesn't do anything other than close the text file window.

The app site requires registration to add to a public forum in the hope that there is an answer to my problem - I declined to register.

The rating's below are only set because without them I cannot post this.

Thanks for providing a demo.
QuickCal has more features than Fantastical. It does todos also and has a slick no ui mode if desired. Plenty of settings to configure it exactly as you wish.

Agreed. Need a trial, if it's good I'm happy to pay for it, but I'm looking at alternatives so I don't just want to piss away $2. That's food for a week.

An excellent application ... a workhorse on my desktop. My only wish is that it were integrated with ActiveSync so that I could send out invitations from within QC. (BTW- is there anything sloooower than the App Store? Whew.)

I love the integration with Alfred! This is the easiest, most intuitive way imaginable to add events to iCal.

I can't figure out how to define the Location offered in the new-event window. Tried with Space, Comma, Semicolon and Tab after time - no success.

You'll be amazed how much quicker you can create events than using any other calendar app (native or otherwise). Nothing is faster than typing what you want!

In addition to this, QuickCal supports "Smart Reminders", which will create alarms at configurable time intervals, specific to how far in the future the event is. A meeting tomorrow? Reminder 15 min in advance. A meeting in 6 months? Remind a few _days_ in advance.

The QuickCal menu icon also will show you all events on your calendars for the current day! Quickly see what's going on at a glance.
