> Calendar, notes and tasks in one app, with an MCP server for AI

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.

## Good for

- People who plan the week in notes and want them next to their calendar
- Google Calendar and Outlook users who work on a Mac or Windows PC
- Developers who want AI agents to read and update their notes over MCP
- Students with a .edu address, who the vendor says can use it free

## Worth knowing

- Works only with Google Calendar and Outlook or Microsoft 365 accounts. Apple iCloud is not supported; the downloads page offers a waitlist.
- The free plan is desktop only. Mobile apps and sync need Everywhere at $4.99 per month; extra calendar accounts, calendar groups and widgets need Full Access.
- The pricing page shows monthly prices only. The App Store also lists $49.99 and $99.99 purchases without a billing period.
- No web or Linux version is listed, and the App Store listing is for iPhone only, requiring iOS 26.2 or later.
