Hi there! I understand you've noticed that your Fantastical Calendar app now looks and behaves more like your Apple Calendar when adding events, making it feel less flexible. That can definitely change the way you interact with your calendar. To help you better, could you share a bit more about what specific customization or flexibility features you feel are missing or changed? For instance, are you referring to the event creation process, calendar views, reminders integration, or something else?
Meanwhile, I can explain a bit about the differences: Fantastical is known for its powerful customization options, natural language input, and flexible calendar sets that let you organize and view calendars the way you prefer. Apple Calendar, by contrast, has a more straightforward, simplified interface with fewer customizations. If you suddenly see Fantastical behaving like Apple Calendar, it might be due to settings switching or an update that affected your preferences.
Here's a step-by-step approach to check and regain Fantastical's flexibility:
1. Check Calendar Sets: Fantastical allows creating and syncing calendar sets (groups of calendars you can toggle on/off). Open Fantastical, go to the settings, and look for "Calendar Sets." Make sure your custom sets are enabled or set up.
2. Review Default View: Fantastical lets you choose your default calendar view (day, week, month, etc.). Sometimes updates reset this. Verify and adjust it to your liking in settings.
3. Natural Language Input: When adding events, Fantastical offers natural language event creation that Apple Calendar lacks. Try tapping the "+" button and typing something like "Lunch with Anna tomorrow at 1pm" to see if it parses correctly. If not, this feature might be off or there's a problem with recognition.
4. App Update or Settings Reset: If this started after an app update, some preferences might have been reset. Navigate through Fantastical’s preferences and restore your favorite custom options.
5. Reinstall if Needed: If things still feel off, uninstall and reinstall Fantastical to reset any corrupted settings.
If you want, I can guide you step-by-step through any of these or check if there’s a recent update or known issue causing this behavior.
Does this sound like what you’re experiencing, or is there a specific feature or flow that’s changed in Fantastical? Let me know so I can tailor the help!
