We all have so much to organize in both our work lives and our personal lives. A calendar will keep you from missing meetings and appointments, as well as make your life a lot less hectic. And while paper calendars can be useful, it’s impractical to carry them everywhere we go. So it’s essential that we all use at least one calendar app. Read on this post to know the top best calendar apps in 2021.

Best Calendar Apps in 2021

1. Google Calendar

Google Calendar is an excellent cross-platform calendar app. It’s the default calendar on Android phones, and it also works well on iPhones. It’s simple to create new events whether you’re on your phone or computer, and everything always stays synced no matter what time zone you’re in.

Plus, Google Calendar integrates with just about any other productivity app you can think of, so it will readily fit into your existing production system.

If you also use Gmail, then it gets even better, as Google Calendar can automatically create events based on emails you receive. This is a lifesaver when booking things like flights or concert tickets.

2. Any.do

Any.do is our pick of the best all-around calendar app. It is available on mobile and desktop platforms, but it really shines on mobile thanks to an easy-to-use interface that gives you all the tools and information you need on smaller touchscreens.

It easily connects to existing calendar apps to import events, and it color codes various calendars and events to help keep everything in order.

It’s not as in-depth as some specialized business calendar apps, but for most people, this is a brilliant way of keeping your meetings and appointments in order.

Best of all, there’s a free version you can try.

3. Fantastical

If you’ve got a wide range of Apple devices, from MacBooks to iPhones and even an Apple Watch, then Fantastical is the best calendar app for you.

It has an app for pretty much every Apple product and has been built from the ground up to support macOS. Best of all, it all syncs seamlessly between your devices, making this powerful and useful calendar apps for Apple fanatics.

You can quickly and easily set up meetings and events, and it can also check to make sure your coworkers are available for a proposed meeting using Google Apps or Exchange, making it a more powerful app than Apple’s default calendar.

There’s a free version with basic features available, which means it will do a similar job to other free calendar apps. However, there’s also a premium version available as required, which allows for collaboration, such as for Zoom videoconferencing, and is also customizable.

4. Woven

Moving beyond familiar calendar apps, we have Woven. The app markets itself towards “busy professionals,” and it has a lot of interesting features that you won’t find in basic calendar apps.

To start, Woven offers “Smart Templates” to help you save time when scheduling common types of events. For instance, if you regularly have lunch meetings at the same restaurant, you can create a template that includes the restaurant location.

Speaking of meetings, Woven also includes a built-in meeting scheduling tool. This can help eliminate the back and forth emails normally required to schedule a meeting. They even offer integration with Zoom, allowing you to easily schedule and manage your Zoom meetings from within Woven. And they recently launched an iPad app as well.

Really, the only thing Woven lacks is an Android app, though the company reports that this is in development.

5. TimeTree

TimeTree

 

TimeTree brings together your work and social calendars to help friends and relatives share information and keep track of what everyone is doing.

Whenever you create a new calendar, you’re asked whether it’s for personal, family, friends, work, relationship, or group use. This categorization really helps to keep the different aspects of your life organized.

TimeTree encourages collaboration, so each event you create is given its own chat room, to allow comments, ideas, questions, and images to be exchanged. TimeTree allows you to add locations to each event, and automatically pulls in a Maps view.

 If you want to plan an event, but don’t want to commit to a date as yet, the ‘Keep’ tab lets you create and store an event to be worked out later on. You can store To-do lists and simple notes around these events.

6. Meetingbird

Meetingbird

 

 

Whether you’re a student or professional, scheduling meetings is the worst. You can spend weeks sending emails back and forth trying to find a time that works for both of you, to the point that you forget why you wanted to meet in the first place.

Meetingbird aims to solve this problem. The app syncs with Outlook Calendar and Google Calendar so that your availability for meetings is always up to date.

When you want to schedule a meeting, all you have to do is send a link with a list of times you’re available. The recipient then picks the time that works best for them, and the meeting they schedule is automatically synced to both of your calendars.

We also like that Meetingbird integrates with Zoom, our video call tool of choice, as well as Zapier, Slack, Trello, and more.
