What makes it a Mac app

No more loading your browser just to quickly check when that meeting is. Magical gives you quick access to all your accounts, meetings and invitations.

Every account, properly isolated

Every account keeps its own sign-in. No signing out, no switching, no wondering which schedule you are looking at.

  • Each account carries its own colour, on its tab, in the menu bar and on its notifications.
  • Switch with ⌘1 and ⌘2, or click its tab.
  • Accounts in the background keep schedules in sync, so alerts and widgets stay accurate.
  • Your desktop shows through the sidebar the way it does in Calendar and Finder, in light and dark alike.

Work and personal calendars in harmony

View calendars from all your accounts in the sidebar, so you won't accidentally double book yourself.

  • Adapts in lockstep with Google Calendar's active Day, Week, or Month view.
  • Click any event to jump straight to it, switching accounts automatically.
  • One-click video call join and instant RSVP directly from the card.

A toolbar you can rearrange

A real Mac toolbar, not a row of buttons drawn in a web page, so it behaves like every other one you use.

  • Drag the buttons into whatever order suits you, fromView → Customise Toolbar…
  • Date navigation, the invitations tray, a new task button and a search field, each one yours to place or leave out.

A mini calendar in the menu bar

See what the rest of your day looks like, RSVP to invites, or jump straight to your next video call.

  • Countdown to your next meeting directly in the menu bar.
  • A red line marks where the day has got to.
  • Every event takes the colour of the calendar it sits on.

And on the desktop too

Choice of 6 different widgets of varying sizes and layouts.

  • Up next counts down to the next meeting.
  • Agenda shows your day and what's coming tomorrow.
  • Month gives you a full mini calendar

Your to-dos right next to your meetings

Google Tasks appear in the sidebar, menu bar and widgets, in the same list as your events.

  • Mark one complete from the sidebar or menu bar.
  • Add one with the toolbar's task button, which opens Google's own task field.
  • Choose whether completed tasks are shown at all.

Today's date on your dock

See today's date directly on the dock just like Apple calendar. The badge counts your unread invitations, so you have no excuse not to RSVP.

Never late for a call

Native alerts for both events and RSVPs, with quick actions.

  • Join Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams calls directly from the banner with one click.
  • RSVP to invitations right from the banner.

Work stays in work hours

Link Magical to macOS Focus filters to decide which accounts and calendars are visible.

  • Silenced calendars are hidden everywhere including menubar and widgets.
  • Keep an account and still turn off the calendars you don't need, one at a time.
  • Choose whether silenced accounts remain reachable in the switcher or stay completely blocked until the Focus ends.

The full Google Calendar experience

Magical supports every feature Google Calendar supports in the browser, and new features arrive the day Google ships them. All you do is sign in.

Requires
macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon

Events, invitations, and calendar sync come straight from Google to your Mac, using the sign-in you already have, so there's nothing to set up and no permissions screen to approve. The menu bar popover, desktop widgets, and notifications run separately from the calendar view, so they stay quick even with heavy multi-calendar setups. Nothing about your schedule goes anywhere except Google.
