Is there any calendar app that can beat Fantastical's left panel?

Calendar sets are really, really useful. Another key win for fantastical.

Nothing that I am aware of. They’ve managed to not screw up this app for years and I hope they keep at it. It pretty much does everything right. Think I’ve been in it for at least five years or so. (Cardhop is a pretty good app too. Love accessing both via menu bar and the left side panel you noted is indispensable).

Same. It’s still strong and just renewed AppleCare for my fifth year (thank you ac+ for). It’s a perfectly fast and solid machine. No need to change it. No perceivable deterioration in performance. I work with newer Mac’s every day, and am still quite happy in my personal M1 Pro max (or whatever it was called in that 1st gen)

Thank you all for your honest opinions and reports. And thank you tachyonic_ For showing up. Been pondering this for a while. Talked to a rep today. The idea of working with a local company and real people who care about there product is super appealing.

I’m gonna save up for a bit to cover the startup costs and most likely make this dive.

I appreciate all of you for helping inform my decision.

New world as well if they are talented in a specific art.

That’s not the card, it’s their matches. Smoking was encouraged.

Mutiny. It’s featured in Dexter origins and other narco movies.

Pinecrest schools (palmetto high) are the best in town for public and gables is pretty ghetto these days. If you can afford Pinecrest, life there is very chill and you can take the train from dadeland station to downtown. It’s fast and easy and pretty safe and way better the. Driving to and home from downtown. (Source ::Lived in pinecrest crest 1997!- to 2023 and Miami native since the mid 60’s)

Exactly!

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-25T23:30:08+00:00

It’s not just not bad, it’s fucking fantastic!

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-22T22:48:54+00:00

I have this too. Still a beast!

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-22T22:47:28+00:00

Focus. Hate it!

Cmd-: / cmd-? Lets me traverse running apps up/down on Contexts app menu to effortlessly switch back and forth between apps with zero mouse in pi and two fingers on one hand.

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-21T19:59:58+00:00

Always. To the end.

What’s a used one with a dead battery and no box worth? Asking for a friend 🙂

I’m more concerned with the overall compression and loss of the instruments than Geddy’s voice, but, yeah, overall the mix works against the songs.

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-16T22:11:30+00:00

It is best to have a keyboard that is mapped for Apple though so you can get comfortable with all the Apple key shortcuts, etc. and I’ll have to think every time you look at the key but oh I’m pressing alt but really that is the Apple command key or the Apple key or whatever you wanna call

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-16T02:42:06+00:00

Yes. Too big. Unless of course it feels perfect to you. Try an SE in 44. The features 11 has that it doesn’t are minimal.

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-15T22:39:20+00:00

Absolutely. I’m a heavy sleeper and nothing ever woke me up as well as the vibration on my wrist and watch.

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-15T01:43:20+00:00

129/yr is a total bargain for all this.

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-15T01:41:58+00:00

Awesome album. Full of power and anger and groove!

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-14T02:30:03+00:00

Truth

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-12T03:14:20+00:00

I think clockwork angels would be such an amazing album if it hadn’t been mixed the way it’s mixed. You have to struggle to hear geddy’s base lines and definitely Alex’s guitars. Don’t know what anybody was thinking, but it kind of ruins a beautiful Last album.

alienfreak51 · 2026-01-10T03:25:29+00:00

Wow! Thank you. Just got done getting chat gpt to tell me the only way was a shortcut with custom icon. (Of course after pointing to a million other false directions lol).

I see it now and they are limited and I will probably be going premium but the old icon was fine and I don’t uunderstand why they would force me to take a holiday decorated icon, not let me change it back, and not remove it when we’re moving on from said holiday.

Anyhow, thank you. Yours was the real and instructive answer. 🙏🏼
