Recal vs TextExpander

Take the busywork out of Apple Calendar with focused tools for recurring routines, reviewing time, and tidying crowded calendars. Recal works with the calendars you already use. Choose a date range, one or more calendars, an event type, and an optional title filter, then work with just the events that matter. QUICK EVENTS Turn reusable templates into scheduled events, or quickly update existing events. Set titles, dates, times, all-day status, time zones, calendars, notes, and reusable custom values. TEMPLATE EVENTS Build templates for regular work, routines, and repeated items. Add repeat schedules and lists of values, and keep your templates available across devices with private iCloud sync. CALCULATE HOURS Review matching timed events and total the time spent. With Recal Pro, apply an hourly rate to calculate costs. MOVE EVENTS Find matching events and preview changes before moving them to another calendar, date, time, or time zone. CONDENSE EVENTS Replace a busy group of events with one all-day summary for each day, while preserving the details in its notes. Recal shows the proposed changes first and requires explicit confirmation before modifying your calendars. MADE FOR APPLE DEVICES Use Recal on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, with a familiar interface designed for each device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Recal asks for calendar access only when you choose to grant it. It makes only the event changes you request and includes no third-party trackers. Recal is useful for free. Optional Recal Pro purchases provide unlimited templates and template values, hourly cost calculations, Move Events, Condense Events, and other advanced features.
