- **Natural language input:** Type a title such as "Coffee with Alex next Tuesday at 9 am" and the app fills in the date and time. It works in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian, on PRO.
- **Video call links:** Join Zoom, Google Meet or GoToMeeting calls directly from the event, and invite attendees from inside the app.
- **Google Workspace rooms and coworkers:** With a Google Workspace account, PRO subscribers can book meeting rooms from an event and view coworkers' schedules next to their own.
- **Habit tracker and reflections:** Build routines with a habit tracker, log mood, stress and energy in Personal Reflections, and follow a built-in productivity course.

## Good for

- People on iPhone, iPad and Mac who want events and tasks in one planner

- Anyone who prefers typing events in plain language

## Worth knowing

- Apple devices only: the App Store listing covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision. No Windows, Android or web version is listed.
- The free plan is a basic calendar; tasks, multiple accounts, recurring events, natural language input and weather need Calendars PRO.
- Free users get one alert per event, while PRO allows up to five.
- There is no Mac-only purchase: PRO is a single cross-platform subscription, and Readdle says its price varies by region and local taxes.
