What's New in InstaCal

3.7

September 18, 2026

• Ready for iOS 27: Siri understands your InstaCal events, tasks and reminders. Ask what's on your calendar, when you're free or what's next, then create or change an event just by asking, for one occurrence of a repeating event or every one that follows. • New widgets: Agenda List shows your days as one continuous list, with day navigation, event paging and reminder completion right on your Home Screen. On iOS 27, Days Ahead and Up Next + Calendar add an extra-large portrait size where your device offers it, XL agendas fill spare room with the days ahead, and Up Next can show your countdowns. • Say "Remind me in InstaCal" to capture a reminder in plain language. Siri and Shortcuts can also add and complete tasks, hand your events to other Shortcuts actions, and find events, tasks, reminders, countdowns and Smart Filters in Search. • Tasks: a task manager built into your calendar, with lists, tags, checklists and progress, kept separate from Apple Reminders. Capture a task in plain language, keep a finish-by deadline apart from the time you plan to work on it, and find room for it within your working hours. • Connect Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and Todoist, each synced directly beside your personal task library. Search, sort and filter tasks and reminders by date, priority or completion. • Lock InstaCal behind Face ID or Touch ID, with your passcode as the fallback and a lock-after delay; the app switcher shows a cover, not your events. Mark calendars private to keep them hidden until you show them with Face ID, with quiet or detail-free alerts. • Give a countdown a photo, your own or one generated from a description (even with you in it). Tap it for a full-screen poster that counts down to the second, and see it in photo-row widgets. • See the year as a wall planner, twelve month rows under one weekday header (turn the phone sideways for the whole year), and put the current month first, middle or last in Quarter, with separate heat maps for each. • Choose up to two detail lines for events, tasks, reminders and countdowns, shown in lists and widgets and synced across your devices. • Block on Calendar puts a private "Busy" copy of any event on another calendar, and Remove Blocking takes it back. • Reorder accounts, calendars and reminder lists, and arrange the calendars inside a Calendar Set. • Call a phone number from an event in the app you choose: Phone, FaceTime Audio, WhatsApp, Google Voice or Zoom Phone. Export events to CSV, and open any .ics file from Mail or Files, even one containing broken events. • A Date complication on Apple Watch shows the weekday and day and opens InstaCal with a tap. Choose whether + creates an event, a reminder or a task, and ignore a repeating invitation series without replying.

It works perfectly on iPhone

Invaluable!

Response from developer

Thank you, that is lovely to hear. The iPhone version is still fairly new, so it is good to know it is pulling its weight.

LOVE IT!!!!

InstaCal is *insanely* awesome! I literally use it every single day. It makes adding new events to my calendar so quick and easy right from my laptop. No more fumbling back and forth between my computer and phone just to add/edit something to my calendar. It’s simple, convenient, and has genuinely made my everyday workflow so much easier. LOVE it! Thank you for making an awesome app! :-)

Response from developer

Thank you, this made our morning. Adding an event without reaching for your phone is the whole reason InstaCal exists, so it is good to hear it lands that way.

Très patraque

Une très bonne application qui ajoute un pti plus fort sympathique à MAC Os. L’utilisation est très simple et s’intègre très bien à la barre de menu. JE recommande

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour ce retour, ça fait vraiment plaisir. Content que l'intégration à la barre des menus vous plaise.

Great little App - but it could do with more colour

It works brilliantly and I literally HAVE to have a menu calendar. I have tried a few - but I always settle back on this one. It is fantastic value - and vert reliable. I do wish though that it looked better. It could with a little more colour. I found another much better looking app (GlanceCal) - but it doesn’t have the functionality and inter-operability of InstaCal.

Perfect for an overview of what is ahead.
