What's New in Mayday

4.9.1

April 5, 2024

New features: * Auto-scheduling toggle. Use the new auto-schedule toggle when creating an event or task to switch between AI scheduling and manual scheduling when creating new events and tasks. General improvements: * Restructure to event and task creation side panel. Several structural changes were made to optimize the new event and new task creation flow in the side panel. Additional changes were also made to highlighted nested settings when multiple Mayday-specific properties are applied. * Event creation at ideal times from Month View. Updated the logic so that new events created via the Month view create at ideal times instead of as all day events. Bug fixes: * Deleting instances of recurring Outlook events. Fixed an issue that was preventing the ability to delete instances of recurring Outlook events. * Auto-rescheduling flexible tasks conflicting with recurring events. Fixed an issue where flexible tasks that conflicted with recurring events were not auto-rescheduling. * Conference links opening Apple Maps. Fixed an issue where certain custom conferencing links would open Apple Maps. * Outlook events with URL locations. Fixed an issue where Outlook events with URLs as locations weren’t properly displaying in Mayday. * Phone numbers as locations. Fixed an issue where phone numbers added to the location field displayed in duplicate. * Unified events. Fixed an issue when unifying events on the timeline to ensure the editable version is always prioritized. * Ideal time UX. Fixed an issue where ideal times weren’t highlighting in green from the time picker during event creation. * Rescheduled event VQA. Fixed an issue where on rescheduling an event tile in the timeline it would temporarily dim. * Integrations VQA. Fixes to ensure text copy properly truncates when viewing the add integrations page on iOS. * Duplicate all day events. Fixed an issue where on editing an all-day event, the tile would temporarily duplicate visually. * Saving changes to event descriptions. Fixed an issue where on editing an event for only the description, the save button wasn’t active. * Auto-rescheduling from event details. Fixed an issue where the event details wouldn’t automatically dismiss after auto-rescheduling.

Please don't discontinue your app, i use it everyday

Sad to see a great app go

This was such a great calendar app. I’m so sad to see it go. It was the perfect blend of simplicity and functionality. I loved being able to contribute ideas and reporting bugs I encountered. This really was an amazing app and I loved how they had it set up.

Very nice UI but totally useless

The team for this app clearly spent too much time making it look all nice and fluffy. It promises all the features we want but fails to do basic things like integrate with iCal. How does an app that only exists within the Mac user ecosystem not integrate with iCal!? The obvious issue for me appeared as I was excitingly starting to use the app and it started repeatedly crashing when I tried to add events. Not clear what's going on but the user experience is not smooth. Needs more work.

Great idea!

Using AI to map out the day, help plan projects, etc. is a fantastic idea. Unfortunately like others have mentioned I couldn’t get my Microsoft 365 work calendar to sync so I couldn’t really go from there. Giving it a hopeful three stars that this will be fixed soon.

Unfortunately fails at its most basic job

I want to love it. The auto-tagging is useful, buffer time is great, condensed display of the same event in multiple calendars is fantastic, and copying events across calendars is well done. It’s got so much good stuff.

But. It doesn’t sync events from Google Calendar consistently. It just doesn’t. There have been *many* times now where a meeting just doesn’t show up in Mayday, even days after it’s added. I used both the iOS app and the macOS app. I don’t know if it’s because I just keep them open without restarting, but either way, not having your actual events visible in your calendar app is a table stakes failure that makes it categorically unfit for the job. I missed multiple meetings because of it until I realized what was happening.

There hasn’t been an update for 3 months, and that bug is too egregious to bear. I kept having to check Google Calendar to confirm what I was seeing in Mayday was real, until eventually I realized I was back to using it full time. A real shame.
