The calendar overlay feature allows you to view your personal schedule and work appointments in one view.

Apples built-in calendar app, iCal, is a go-to for scheduling - you can invite other attendees to events, link to maps, set notifications, and add events using natural language (if you type, meeting with Joe at 2 pm Friday and iCal will auto-create the calendarized entry).

However, greater functionality is required for scheduling many projects and events.

Perhaps you need to access calendar information on multiple devices that arent all Apple products.

Maybe you want to keep an editable to-do list inside your calendar app.

Theres also the possibility that you just want an alternative to what comes standard on a Mac.

Below youll find a roundup of the top calendar apps for Mac, as well as iCal add-ons so you can manage your schedule your way.

You can easily import calendars from Google, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo, and other CalDAV accounts to make Fantastical 2 your one-stop view for all events in your life.

You can even program calendar sets to appear by location, so that when youre home, you only see the calendars related to your personal life.
