Helpful

The HEY Calendar app is very helpful, especially on the computer. The ability to add to weekly tasks that can then add to specific days is great. I also love that you can you can label days without adding a calendar item and add a background to the day. I use these features mostly as a journal. It would be great to have more flexibility on how I see my weekly tasks, their order, and a full month view. It would also be nice to assign tasks to a day without having to add it as an event.

Best Calendar App on the Market

I’ve used quite a few over the years. Because of all the features, which are constantly improving and expanding, this is the best. Period.

All the tools in one place

All the right parts that I need in my calendar, plus simple to dos that keep me focused, as well as tools for tracking habits, logs, and more.

I now like managing my time

I used to struggle keeping my time organized as I always had sync issues and didn’t quite trust the system - even though it was Apple

Now with Hey email and calendar it all just works - I love it - I feel good accepting commitments and planing my day

Highly recommended

Enjoying more and more

I’ve been a HEY email customer since launch, but didn’t really “get” the calendar app. It wasn’t as sleek looking as Apple calendar, and not as functional as Google calendar. But I persevered, and honestly I’m now a total convert. Adding images to days of the week helps me get perspective on what’s coming up. The countdown timer to events is useful for that too. I also love the weekly to-dos tab that rolls over. So good for jotting stuff down that you haven’t been able to get to. The habit tracking is perfect for what I need. Downloaded Atomic Habits own app and it was way too complex. The journal is there so I now use it. And the iOS widgets are great. What else can say. If you’ve got HEY email, use it!!

Love it!

Totally unique and beautiful way to approach daily planning and the calendar. Well done!

Smoothest & easiest email experience

I absolutely love Hey calendar & email. It is 100% worth paying for because it gives me the kind of control over my email that I long wanted and searched for and the kind of calendar experience that I wanted but could never find. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now and it so suits my needs that I don’t even look at what else is available - It’s that good!

| i use it for the timetracker

comes bundled w/ hey email

iPhone 16 Pro: text at bottom of login screen cut off

On iPhone 16 Pro, the line under "Don't have an account?" is cut off. I can't scroll down to see it. I can't read what it says and clicking the tops of the letters just barely hit-able brings me to a calendar?? What is that text supposed to say? I don't have an account so it's relevant information for me.

A lot of great ideas!

TL;DR
- This is a deeply, well-thought-out calendar system with a slight learning curve but absolutely worth a try.
- With Hey Mail, the price is worth it

Here’s how I think it could improve on iOS:
- Rework how event names are displayed in week view. Too much of the event title is cut off to be helpful.

Feature request:
- Calendly-esque scheduling

Love everything basecamp does

Great calendar and even better email

Different. You’ll come back to it.

Different. You’ll come back to it.

In love with this calendar

There's a subtle genius to the "day view", which bookends my appointments and plans between fields of starry night sky.

I'm gently reminded of my connection to the natural cycle of day & night as the "line of the present" moves across the events I've planned. The visuals are particularly striking in dark mode.

Thanks for building this beautiful and useful tool!

SO GOOD

Me likely

Why does every job to be done take so much effort?!

I need to be able to manage Google Calendar events, and it’s too slow to navigate. I also want more control over tasks!

New dark icons?!

Get us some well-wanted dark app icons and please oh please remove the black background in the light theme!! Act soon 37signals 😊

Preferred calendar

It’s my preferred calendar. Theresa unnecessary features, but the layout and is so much more intuitive then any I’ve used in the past

Left Google Workspace for Hey

I cut the cord last week from Google Workspace - I literally left 30k emails behind, and my calendar (although I had a backup on my iPad). I’m getting used to Hey Calendar the past two weeks. It’s interesting. It forces me to slow down and really thing what I am planning, instead of dumping all my tasks on it. I would say that the only thing that is missing is a task list specific to Hey - their other product Basecamp (which we use) is good, but that is for projects. I need a personal task list too. Other than that it has great features and the interface is very cool. I especially like how they created a timeline of the day from left to right. It better shows me if I am staying up to date with my appointments.
