But this is something Zapier built for internal usage because they couldn't find any tools that worked for them. Is it ridiculous for me to recommend a Zapier tool in a Zapier article? A little. The best Mac tool for the job is, in my opinion, Zapier's own Zappy. They make it easy to quickly take a screenshot or screen recording and share those recordings with others. This is where screen recording tools come in. Recording the screen is even worse: you need to do it using QuickTime, and the files are generally annoyingly large for sharing. The files save to your desktop, meaning if you want to share them with someone, you need to manually drag them over to your app of choice. Taking a screenshot on a Mac is a little convoluted.

Or, if you just want a little calendar in your Mac menu bar, check out Itsycal, which can pull in appointments from the default Mac app. It doesn't have all the nice touches of Fantastical, granted, but it's free and does almost everything. If that doesn't work for you, you should check out the Calendar app already installed on your Mac. This app looks great, makes it quick to add new appointments, and makes it easy to see everything in a day, week, month, or even quarterly view. Fantastical topped Zapier's list of the best calendar apps for Mac. This is crucial for planning your work week, and generally just functioning as a person.Ī dedicated Mac calendar app makes it possible to combine your work and personal calendars in one place, while also using notifications to make sure you don't miss any appointments. This is where calendars come in: they organize time so that we know when things like meetings or doctor appointments are happening. Time is a resource, and you only get so much of it every week (at least, that's how I understand it, but I am admittedly not a physicist).
