Read full description

CalSnap is the smart calendar app that transforms how you manage your schedule. Just type or speak naturally -- "Lunch with Sarah tomorrow at noon" -- and your event is created instantly. No forms, no tapping, no hassle. WHY CALSNAP? Apple Calendar is too basic. Fantastical is too expensive. CalSnap gives you the best of both worlds: powerful AI features at a fraction of the cost. At just $19.99/year, CalSnap delivers 80% of Fantastical's core features for 1/3 of the price. NATURAL LANGUAGE EVENT CREATION Type or speak your events in plain English. CalSnap's on-device NLP engine instantly parses your words into perfectly formatted calendar events with title, date, time, location, duration, and attendees. No more filling out forms field by field. AI SMART SCHEDULING Let AI find the perfect time for your meetings. CalSnap automatically detects scheduling conflicts, suggests optimal time slots, and helps you avoid double-bookings. Just ask "When is the best time for a 1-hour meeting this week?" and get instant answers. RELIABLE FULL-TEXT SEARCH Find any event in milliseconds. Unlike Apple Calendar's unreliable search, CalSnap's local search engine always works -- even offline. Search by title, location, attendees, or notes and get instant results. VOICE INPUT Create events hands-free with voice input. Tap the microphone, speak naturally, and watch your words become calendar events. Perfect for on-the-go scheduling. MULTI-CALENDAR UNIFIED VIEW See all your calendars in one place. iCloud, Google, Outlook -- CalSync merges them into a single, color-coded timeline. Toggle calendars on and off with a single tap. SMART REMINDERS WITH TRAVEL TIME Events with locations automatically calculate travel time and set smart reminders. Get "time to leave" notifications based on real-time traffic conditions. PRIVACY-FIRST AI Your data stays on your device. CalSnap uses on-device NLP parsing by default. Optional cloud AI features use your own API key -- your data is never uploaded to our servers. AI FEATURES - This app uses your own API key for AI features. You can bring your own key from any compatible AI provider. - AI features are unlimited with your own key -- no usage limits or in-app token purchases. - Your API key is stored securely on your device and never sent to our servers. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION - Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. - Subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings on the App Store after purchase. - Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription.
