What is nocal?

nocal is a calendar app for Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android that puts Markdown notes and task lists next to your events. It works with Google Calendar and Outlook or Microsoft 365 accounts, gives each week its own note, and suggests ways to free up focus time. A built-in MCP server lets assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor read notes and write results back. The desktop app is free; mobile apps and extra features need a subscription.

Key features

Weekly note beside the calendar
Each week has a note written in Markdown that can hold bullet and numbered lists, task lists, tables, collapsible sections and code blocks, so a weekly plan sits next to the schedule.
Notes attached to events
Notes and action items can be written on a calendar event, and notes can nest inside or link to one another, so meetings and notes reference each other.
Unified Google and Outlook calendar
Google and Microsoft or Outlook accounts are merged on one timeline, with an inbox for answering invites. Connecting additional accounts requires the Full Access subscription.
Calendar Ideas
nocal reviews upcoming weekdays and suggests adding a focus block, moving a meeting or declining one. Nothing changes until you accept an idea, and the feature can be turned off.
Built-in MCP server
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code can connect through the Model Context Protocol to search and read notes and write their output back into them.
Natural-language scheduling and widgets
Events can be typed as a phrase such as "Lunch with Alex tomorrow at noon". The phone apps add a home screen widget that shows what is next and the shape of the day.
