Amie is a calendar app that helps you manage tasks and easily add emails as tasks to your calendar.
Amie doesn't try to hide what it is and isn't. It's a calendar at the core and like many of the other best daily planners on the market, they've gone and added some basic task creation functionality.
Where they've gone a step further is actually pulling in email to the mix. Depending on the type of person you are, maybe you want to turn emails into tasks and schedule them directly on your calendar in a time blocking fashion.
Amie is definitely not a full email client, although it is listed on the best email clients page, that's because it allows you to time-block on your calendar emails, and then respond to those emails from right within Amie.
That said, view it as more of a "feature" and less of a software category. When comparing Superhuman vs Amie for example, there's no match—Amie is not a full-fledged email app.
A calendar for personal/family events and tasks.
Fantastical is a calendar app for MacOS and iOS users that has been around since 2012 (Android users, skip this review and check out Vimcal, Morgen, Sunsama, Akiflow or our favorite: Motion instead).
Through our evaluation of Fantastical, it's not a calendar we'd recommend for professional use or teams as there are far better, more powerful calendars on the market (take Motion for example, who is a calendar with a full-fledged project manager baked in, that uses AI to automatically schedule, and re-schedule your tasks for you).
Even in the personal calendar app category, Fantastical is not a tool we recommend as it feels like quite a dated app compared to some of the newer calendars on the market, like Routine, Morgen, and Amie (check any of these out first before committing to Fantastical).
