Flexibits' weakness is engineering, though. They could get eaten by a competitor that works its way up to a full calendar with a stronger foundation. Fantastical 3's move upmarket in response to Calendar.app improvements hasn't been easy for them so I don't know how much further they could push themselves.
That's not to say that a new competitor will put Flexibits out of business, but if the market for calendar management expands, I wouldn't expect Fantastical's share to grow proportionally. So there's an opportunity.
- dave_aiello 6y agoI think part of the reason they evolved this way is because iOS has a shared calendar database which is surfaced by the API called EventKit, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/eventkit https://developer.apple.com/documentation/eventkit. This also exists on macOS and WatchOS, but I think it existed in iOS first.
