Calendar Scheduling Speed

Overview

Vimcal is a speed-obsessed calendar client that layers keyboard shortcuts, natural-language event creation, one-tap time-zone juggling and instant booking links over Google and Microsoft calendars. It was embraced early by VCs — people whose day is the calendar — and ships a dedicated EA edition for assistants managing multiple executives. The pitch is minutes saved per scheduling interaction, dozens of times a day, plus an iOS app that actually makes rescheduling painless.
