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.

Love it when applications respect platform conventions. I had a Fantastical alert with 12 replies that I had to click OK on… and then I thought… if Command-W is Close window, and Command-Option-W is Close all windows… and that works also by Option-clicking the close button of a window… maybe Option-clicking OK will do the trick?
Sure enough, as soon as I pressed the Option key, the button changed to OK to all. Thanks, @flexibits!
Good to see @flexibits makers of Fantstical and Cardhop now on Mastodon.
Welcome to the land where Mastodons roam!
@mclazarus Love that you have a #Cardhop entry for it https://flexibits.com/cardhop
Presenting Cardhop, the contacts app you'll actually want to use. Search, add, edit, and interact with your contacts while still having fun.
@gedeonm @KingShawn @pschiller #Cardhop by #Flexibits (makers of #Fantastical) has you covered: https://flexibits.com/cardhop
Strangely, I don’t think the company themselves are on Mastodon.

This is how you build trust with your users around #privacy on the #IxD side of things:
- Be transparent and upfront about it
- State clearly what you collect, and what you don’t collect
- Reassure users that they can change any opt-in decisions later
Most importantly, though: Follow up on your promises to demonstrate that you earn your users’ trust.
Obviously, that latter one goes way beyond a well-designed dialog box.
Well done, #Flexibits!
Sometimes I need to mark a #calendar event as “canceled,” but it seems the only way to do that in an app like #Fantastical is to change the event to include the name?
I’d prefer to “strike” the event; does anyone have a suggestion for that? #Flexibits

Jumping from $40/year to $57/year for a calendar + contacts app combo still stings, no matter how nice and frequently-updated they are. Even if it does amortize to $4.75 a month.
#Flexibits does a good job summarizing what a premium #subscription gets you, at least: https://flexibits.com/pricing

My mistake, #Flexibits did in fact email me and presumably other #Fantastical users in December that its premium subscription price would increase: “Due to #inflation and rising costs, this is the first time we have needed to increase pricing since #FlexibitsPremium launched 3 years ago. The new annual pricing will be $56.99 (US) — an increase of $1.42/month (US). Other currencies may differ slightly.” Still a bit of a shock this morning from #Apple #AppStore, though. #Mac #iPhone #macOS #iOS
