The most powerful, customizable calendar

Like No Other

BusyCal isn't just another calendar app—it's a navigation experience like no other. With its innovative Month View, tap any day to expand it and see event details in place, making scheduling effortless and intuitive.
No other app makes managing your calendar this easy 💪

BusyCal is a universal iPad + iPhone app. With a companion app for watchOS, customizable widgets for your home and lock screen, and unparalleled flexibility, BusyCal is designed to fit seamlessly into your life—your calendar, your way.

Month View

One of BusyCal's most innovative features is its Month View, which provides a scrolling view that can be customized to show any period from 2-8 weeks at a time by pinching.

The Word on the Street

Easily the best calendar app

Easily the best calendar app I've used for iOS and Mac. Being able to see all of the events on your calendar across an entire month - why this is isn't an option on the default calendar app is beyond me. Best money I've spent on an iOS app, hands down.

Totally the best

Tried the others and BusyCal is still the best all round.

Best monthly view calendar

I like to look at the month at a glance. Nice crisp format…rounded bubbles, colored entries…nice. Too bad it's not multi platform. Switching to a flip phone…apple just doesn't get it. Gonna have to switch to ticktick for that phone.

New Update To Tasks is Amazing
