I abandoned Microsoft Entourage nearly a year ago after becoming frustrated with the crashes, long open times, high memory use, cluttered look, and non-integration to OS X. That left me with iCal for my calendaring needs and since it had already all my events playing middle-man for synchronizing my iPhone, it seemed natural to stick with it. In the course of the year, I have come to love iCal…and dislike it in other ways. One of my dislikes is the requirement for me to leave my current application and go to it to add an event or a to do item. After using QuickSilver and LaunchBar before it for so many years, I’ve become quite use to not leaving my current session. And while you can add events and to do items using QS, it’s too difficult and clumsy. I want easy. I use a Mac for a reason.

Enter FlexCal. FlexGames has created a powerful and easy to use tool that works with iCal for all of us productivity conscious Mac users. I immediately downloaded this and when I found some lacking features, the author was quick to implement my suggestions. Now at 1.06, I couldn’t be any happier with it! With the ability to add an event or a to do item with a simple key combination, you’ll never be forced to leave what you were doing again. Supporting nearly every attribute for the event and to do, you just don’t have to open iCal anymore, folks! Key combo, type, select, return. That’s it, you’re done!

If you’re looking to drive iCal to heights you once thought you never could, then you need to download FlexCal. It’s well worth any donation you can give FlexGames!
