I have found voice input to be super helpful. I use it entirely for prose: notes, tasks, and reminders. I **don't** use it to make the machine "do things" or for coding (but that's just me ... you do you; and also, I don't use it for coding **yet**).
I currently use two tools:
* Spokenly (phone + laptop)
* Just Press Record (watch + phone)Each has advantages. Both produce transcriptions which I then "route" to the appropriate place (Things, Obsidian, Fantastical) with Sharing.
Just Press Record also runs on my watch, so I can use it while driving or other situations where the phone is inconvenient, illegal, or unavailable. I can later look at a list and handle them one at a time or in bulk.
Spokenly is significantly more accurate. You pick the underlying model, so you can decide if you want local-only (as I do, so no fees of any kind), size (controls memory used and speed of translation, at the cost of accuracy), and what spoken languages it knows. You can switch at will; and you don't have to have the same model on your phone as on your laptop. You typically handle results in Spokenly immediately (for a while I thought this was the only choice), but they are saved and you can look at them all in History and deal with them from there.
I'm still playing with which models are the best balance of speed and accuracy for my use case. On my phone I'm using "Distil-Whisper Small (English Only)". On my Mac, the same but "Medium".
This doesn't **sound** like a huge win. I certainly didn't expect much when I decided to try it. But it turns out to punch far above its weight.

@robhawkes Apple's reminders, although using @flexibits #Fantastical for the much better user interface. Kinda half-arsedly looking for an alternative back-end that I can still use via Fantastical, but Apple's implementation is, so I understand, a somewhat bastardised version of #iCal so not sure if that's even possible.
-
So I just remembered the zombie #iOS #widget is for @flexibits #Fantastical.
Hey Flexi—all the #widgets available to add are suddently empty. Something may have broken on the beta release I’m on: 4.1.6 (2122)
Any suggestions?
-
@dhry While the release notes are great, #Fantastical is not a good example when it comes to subscription pricing 💸💸
-
New update of iOS #Fantastical. Presented as an example of how to properly accumulate fixes then release a new version, and how to describe the changes. As opposed to putting out a new version with a single change, but describe it simply as “bugfixes”.
-
#LiquidGlass ...😒 The contrast of notifications is now so low that I can hardly distinguish them from the apps underneath. When I first saw this, I thought my #VSCode had gotten a new #Fantastical integration.
-
On the verge of fully phasing-out my use of Fantastical… While I still like the app, it’s become increasingly difficult to justify the subscription price.

My task manager, my calendar app and my contacts app literally are the lifeblood of my business organization. The latter two apps, #Fantastical and #Cardhop, got a great #LiquidGlass treatment by the always excellent @flexibits today!

Watched 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' last night. The centaurs looked freakishly ... long.
I tried to make a better centaur.
“Please draw me a centaur type creature from mythology (upper body of a man, lower/rear body of a horse), but instead of putting the man's torso on the front of the horse, please place the man's torso in the middle of the horse, halfway between the front of the horse and the horse's rear end. To be clear, the man is part of the horse, not riding the horse - his torso and all above is merged with the back of the horse. Thanks.”
. . .
“Thank you. Can you iterate on this by removing the horse's neck and head and moving the man's torso a bit more toward the back of the horse? What will be in place of the horse's neck is a rounded sort of "front" of the horse, kind of like the rear end of the horse in shape, but lacking a tail. Thanks.”
Perfection achieved.

The fine folks at @flexibits are so good.
#fantastical on #windows is beautiful 😍
Going subscription likely enabled development of their amazing calendar app on Windows and I am grateful for that 🙏

Mieux gérer son calendrier grâce à Fantastical

@gruber @apike This struck a chord: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/06/03/event-creation-still-largely-feels-like-an-unsolved-ui-problem
Because it's true, and it led me to build https://scheduleus.online
#fantastical, #superhuman, Google, Microsoft, (me) all see the fussy calendar interface as low-hanging fruit for AI. Form-input, like calendar events, is the new UI playground in the era of AI.
Schedule Us works with your default calendar--no need to switch email or calendar client. Works great as web app saved to home screen. #ai #ui #calendar #bicyclingdownhill

This is a major new feature from @flexibits

@dreamchipper Ja, #BusyCal am Mac, inzwischen sogar für den Menüleistenkalender und Natural Language Input (gebe kaum anders ein). Als Bestandskunde darf ich auch ohne Abo alle Altfunktionen von #Fantastical nutzen, das hat immer noch den besten Parser, aber am Mac zwinge ich mich z.Zt. zu BC. Im fullscreen ist mir BC eh lieber. Unter iOS nutze ich BC und Fantastical. F im Slideover für den schnellen Blick und Suche sowie Termin- & Task-Input (ungeschlagen), BC fullscreen. (1/3)

Heute ist das letzte @flexibits #Fantastical Widget gewichen. Leute, Ihr kriegt es seit Monaten, ach was, JAHREN nicht auf die Kette, dass der heutige Tag angezeigt wird und schon vor Tagen erledigte Tasks verschwinden. Euer Design ist immer noch mit Abstand das beste, und Euer Natural Language Parser ist ungeschlagen (neue Termine noch immer nur damit)! Aber solche Kleinigkeiten bei dem Preis nicht ein für allemal zu beheben, ist ein No-Go.

And is it just me, or am I seeing the WWDC logo do a little #Siri wobble on this page?

A recent(ish?) change to Apple’s app-specific password setup — required in cases where 3rd-party calendar or mail apps are accessing system info — is that they no longer allow you to retrieve those passwords should you need to re-enter them (say on another device), so store them safely in Passwords.app or 1Password. The only option now is to revoke-and-regenerate which, depending on the sitation, could involve lots of tiresome fiddliness. #Apple #passwords #macOS #iOS #Fantastical #MailMate

Hey folks, quick question for anyone using Fantastical on the iPhone: If you receive an invite to add a calendar to your Google account, where does it show up in Fantastical? I see it in the Google Calendar app but not in Fantastical. Any tips? #Fantastical #iPhone #GoogleCalendar #Productivity #TechHelp #CalendarApps

60% Off für Updates und Sidegrades bei #BusyCal - https://www.busymac.com/store/index.html
Nachdem mir die Preise von #Fantastical schon vor Jahren zu arg(h) waren, habe ich zu BC gewechselt. Auf dem großen Bildschirm ein wahres Fest und die einzige mir bekannte Kalender-App, die Notizen in den Events anzeigt. So und nicht anders bereite ich meinen Unterricht vor und sehe in Cinemascope, was ich wann vorhabe.
Nur der irre Fantastical-Parser kommt für neue Termine & Tasks noch zum Einsatz.
