Keyboard-first calendar over Google and Outlook, built around time zones and availability sharing
Vimcal is a calendar client layered over Google Calendar and Outlook rather than a new place to store events, and it is built around keyboard shortcuts and sub-100ms response. The two features that justify the price are time-zone handling - a strip of cities against every event - and availability sharing: highlight slots, paste them as plain text or as a booking link, and let the other side pick. It also tags events for time-spent metrics, pulls up social profiles for attendees, and has a focus mode with ambient sound. The free tier is iOS-only; the $20-a-month plan adds the Mac desktop app, unlimited booking links and group polls. The company is a Y Combinator alum in San Francisco.
$20 a month, or $16.67 a month billed yearly, for the iOS-plus-desktop plan. A permanently free tier exists but is iOS-only and lacks booking links, polls and the Mac app. A separate Vimcal EA product is priced for executive assistants.
Use tool βWorth the money only if scheduling is a real part of your day: the time-zone strip and the highlight-and-paste availability flow save minutes per meeting, and nothing else. If you take three calls a week, Google Calendar plus a free booking link does the same job for nothing.
Watch out: It reads and writes your existing Google or Outlook calendar; it is a client, so cancelling means going back to the native app, not losing data.
