I use an app called Fantastical (https://flexibits.com/fantastical). I believe it is macOS/iOS only, but there might be alternatives with work with other systems. Basically, I add in my work Office365 account and my personal iCloud and it shows everything together. Whenever I’m making an appointment, I just check that rather than my Outlook calendar.

Looks like most of your issues are with the calendar. For this I highly recommend an app dedicated to this, like Fantastical, BusyCal, Calendar366 or even a native ios calendar app.
These apps have clients for ios, macos and even watchos. Lots of config options and nice features and timely notifications.

I personally have been trying out Fantastical and it literally is life changing doing everything in a calendar. You can make a recurring event or something and have it notify you whenever you want. The time limit can be achieved by just creating the duration. Although I’m unsure about the “mark as done” functionality.

By 2022, I was hot and heavy on Todoist. It seemed like a great solution and had a ton of integrations, but it lacked in a few areas. There was no calendar view in the app. That’s not so bad, since I do most of the scheduling in Google Calendar. But it is a little tough when try to add to-dos and see where they fit into your schedule (time blocking). Also, Todoist has this whole “thing” about being minimalist, but…

For a beefier (and pricier) option, Fantastical is another great one keypress option: https://flexibits.com/fantastical It supports creating events and viewing weather, though none of that other stuff.

There are third party apps that can show Calendar and Reminders together. If you want one that is primarily a calendar but can also show your reminders, look at Fantastical or Calendars. If you want one that is primarily a reminders app but can also show calendar events, look at GoodTask.

In place of Calendar, I use Fantastical. Which has apparently added task management? Huh. News to me. It’s got a pretty nice UI and natural-language parsing for adding entries.

Fantastical, though it’s a paid product. I can’t remember but I think you can keep using the free/trial version, which would still cover everything you mentioned and more.

From a coder perspective, these are the ones I could not live without:
– Alfred – goes without saying. It’s all in the name 😉
– VSCode – I used SublimeText for a long time, but VSCode is just too good to not switch. It has all I ever wanted, and I tweaked the rest 🙂
– 1password – I tried lots of others (Enpass, KeePass(x/ce), LastPass, BitWarden) but 1p is just another level of usability (especially with this…

Fantastical: I can’t stand the default Apple Calendar app. It’s fine, but it’s extremely limited and lacks many features that are standard for modern calendar applications (this tends to happen with many of Apple’s in-house apps, like Calendar and Mail—they favour stability over increased functionality). Fantastical has natural language parsing, so you can type or dictate the details of an event into a single…

Of the many Mac apps that have kept me on that addled platform for too long now is the most excellent Fantastical. It’s unfortunately MacOS only though, and staying on MacOS is just unacceptable, so it’s gotta get replaced.

I’ve been using Fantastical for over a year now and it works great for me as I can see all my events and reminders for each day. iCal, Reminders, Google Calendar, and Google Tasks syncing work really well, too. There’s a day ticker, a month overview, and a week view all in one screen (you can customise it, but this works for me so I’ve never changed it), so in one go I can see everything that’s on in my week.

Weird title but I’ll just add that ToDoIst (https://todoist.com/) + Fantastical (https://flexibits.com/fantastical)+ Sprintful (https://flexibits.com/fantastical) is my core stack.
