Our 10 Favorite Calendar Apps to Keep Your Schedule in Check

With 2013 looming ahead, most of us make resolutions to get our life in order. The first place to start? The calendar! Keeping a tighter grip on your schedule is a simple way to become instantly organized. But with so many schedules for the different parts of our life (work, home, school, etc), it’s tough to juggle it all on one master calendar.

To help you get your time on track, we’ve been searching high and low for the best calendars out there. You may have already seen 30 of our favorite analog calendars, and now it’s time to get down to business on the digital side. Here are 1o of our favorite calendar apps for iOS and Android — and some for both!

Calvetica

: If you’re a fan of visually clean and simple calendars, then Calvetica is the one for you. (It’s what I personally use and I love it!) If you couldn’t tell, it’s named after the infamous designer-y font, Helvetica. Beyond it’s beautiful aesthetic design, it also has a lot of useful functionality, including syncing with iCloud, event alarms and the ability to snooze. You can even search your events as well! We especially like the color coding and how easy it is to read in all views. It’s an excellent calendar for those who rely heavily on both mobile and desktop calendars.

WeekCal

: This calendar works with your standard iPhone/iPod calendar to provide the most organized experience possible. Despite its name, you can easily view your schedule in a daily, monthly, and yearly format. If you’re picky about your calendar, WeekCal gives a lot of options for customization as well. You can adjust the font size, how many lines show in a day, and batch event editing. This is the perfect app for the hardcore task manager and event planner– and only for $2!

Fantastical

Fantastical is indeed, a fantastic calendar. (It’s currently the other app I’m testing alongside Calvetica.) Their most popular and famous feature is the DayTicker. Instead of defaulting to a monthly or daily view, it defaults to a horizontal weekly view (the left side in the picture above). This way, as you move your finger from left to right across the days, your events will pop up below the calendar. If you’re not into that, it has the more traditional views as well.

GoCal

If you’re a Google fanatic, then GoCal is the mobile app for you. It essentially synchronizes and adds your Google calendar to your original iPhone calendar. This way, you don’t have to open a separate app when viewing your Google Calendar. You can also add as many Google calendars as you want if you’re big on calendars. We won’t judge you.

Business Calendar

The ultimate calendar app to gift to an MBA or recent college grad. While a bit on the steeper price side (at least for an app), we think it could be worth the money. It’s ease of navigation and ability to quickly switch from monthly to weekly and to daily view is where this app shines. To switch views, all you have to do is tap or swipe! So much easier than looking for the specific button on the screen. You can also drag and drop events, which makes scheduling recurring events way easier.

Jorte

: Jorte is really great at showing you multiple views of your calendar. Additionally, it lets you view tasks lined up foe each day, making it great for managing both your schedule and your to-do list.

Gemini Calendar

: What’s unique about Gemini Calendar is that it’s voice enabled, which is rare amongst the Android calendar apps. If you’re not looking for a very utilitarian calendar app, but instead something more basic that’s easy to use and functional, then Gemini is the app for you. It’s simple and gets the job done, all with a voice recognition system.

Pocket Informant

: Not only does Pocket Calendar have an iPhone and Android app, it also works to sync your Google calendar with your phone as well! You may notice that it’s quite pricey. This is due to it’s multi-functionality. It manages your calendar, tasks, notes, and contacts. If you’d like to use one app to access it all, then Pocket Informant is for you.

Cozi

: Cozi is every parent’s dream. This app lets you manage the schedule’s of your entire family. You can create a master calendar for everyone and also color code a calendar for each individual. When creating events, tasks, or shopping lists, you can add which family member needs to go. Now, “sorry mom, you didn’t tell me about soccer practice” is no longer an excuse. This app is great even for non-families. In college, this app would’ve been helpful for planning group meetings, coordinating among roommates and more. Plus, it’s free!

Calengoo

: Similar to GoCal, Calengoo (Get it? Calender-Google?) syncs your phone with your Google Calendar. What’s great is that you can still access and make changes even when your phone is offline. Once you get back on the net, the app will upload the changes onto your calendar. Ironically, it’s even better than most native Android/Google calendar apps. It has all the functions of the web version of Google Calendar, plus even more options and ways to view your calendar and tasks.

When it comes to New Year rituals, the naysayers might scoff, but we know there's something utterly transformational about kickstarting the year with a fresh calendar in hand. Admittedly, it might end up buried in your tote by March, or you'll find it snuggled among the books you've been planning to read. So, why not switch things up this time? Skip the planner that may play hide-and-seek and go for a wall or desk calendar instead. The best part? These stationary stunners are immune to getting lost during transit or making you feel guilty for missing that daily itinerary. We've rounded up a flock of unique options that'll keep your ducks in a row, no matter what life throws at you.

No matter what kind of day you're having, Marissa Cooper's having a worse one. Mischa Barton's The O.C. character went through the ringer during the first three seasons of the teen drama (remember how she overdosed in Tijuana...and also saw her parents post-hookup after their divorce?).

And during her time on The O.C., Mischa Barton struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. She was arrested for a DUI in 2007 and eventually received involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in 2009 after allegedly threatening to end her own life. And in a new interview, Peter Gallagher (who played Sandy Cohen on the show) says he's "just so grateful" for "the fact that she’s still alive."

  • Mischa Barton starred alongside Peter Gallagher in The O.C. from 2003-2006.
  • The actress has revealed the "trauma" of being a star at that point in her life.
  • Peter recently opened up about how he's thankful "she’s still alive."

The O.C. follows Ryan Atwood, who moves in with the Cohens after getting kicked out of his mom's house, and starts a relationship with Marissa shortly after. While Peter Gallagher played Adam Brody's TV dad instead of Mischa's, Sandy was a definitely father figure for Marissa, and it seems like Peter felt that same responsibility off camera.

"I’ve always felt very protective of her," Peter told The Independent. "First fame is toxic. First fame can kill you. She was 16 years old when she started working with us, so just the fact that she’s still alive, I’m just so grateful."

“You can go to therapy every day for the rest of your life,” Mischa said in a 2023 interview with The Sunday Times. “There’s just a certain amount of trauma [from] all that I went through, particularly in my early twenties, that just doesn’t go away overnight.”

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage revealed that season 1 overdose not only served as a cliffhanger, but gave “network executives an escape hatch on a performer they had been wary about” (via People). But Mischa Barton got her big break, becoming "how people knew the show," and (thankfully) Marissa recovered — only to die after a car crash in season 3.

As hard as that season 3 ending is to watch, Mischa did have the opportunity to watch it with Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke for the first time on their rewatch podcast. "It needed to be a thing, after everything she's been through, but if it's here I'll watch it with you," Mischa says.

"I couldn't do it, Mischa, I couldn't do it," Rachel adds. "But I'm going to do it if you're going to do it."

Mischa says even though being written off the show "was a little bit of a bummer," it wasn't necessarily a surprise. "The character was just doing too much," she told Vanity Fairin 2023. "And I think they ran out of places for her to go. It was not the best thing in the world, [but] there wasn’t much you could do at that point. It was whether she could sail off into the sunset, or die. At that point, I guess it’s better to have the more dramatic ending.”

Former Disney Channel star Dylan Sprouse and model Barbara Palvin are certainly living the sweet life after tying the knot in Palvin's native Hungary. The couple, who have been together for nearly five years, have always been pretty low-key — except for the occasional and undeniably adorable Instagram post (and a stunning wedding!). We are simply ~obsessed~ with this celebrity couple, especially after they pulled out all the stops for their couple's Halloween costume. Keep scrolling to see some of their best moments :').

See Dylan Sprouse & Barbara Palvin's Halloween Couple's Costume!

For Halloween Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin stunned as the Phantom and Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Dylan wore a mask and a black cape, while Barbara wore a beautiful white dress. While the costume is obviously a nod to the musical, it also totally reminds us of their day as bride and groom.

"In Sleep He Sang to Me," Barbara said in a post, quoting the musical's titular number. "@dylansprouse my forever Phantom."

Who did Dylan Sprouse marry?

On the couple's wedding day (July 15, 2023), Barbara wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown to celebrate her Hungarian nuptials, bringing together their nearest and dearest for an intimate(-ish) celebration. Barbara and Dylan tied the knot on her parent's property, which conveniently doubles as an event venue, with plans to host an larger wedding in California in the fall.

"This past weekend was supposed to be an intimate event, but we ended up having 115 guests in the end because there are a lot of people we care about, and we wanted them all to be there," Barbara told Vogue.

When did Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin get engaged?

Barbara Palvin on Instagram: "♥️"

After months of speculation surrounding the couple's engagement, Dylan and Barbara confirmed their engagement in conversation with Sprouse's twin brother, actor Cole Sprouse, for V Magazine in June, sharing that they got engaged last September.

"We didn't necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement," Dylan said. "What we wanted to do with Stephen [Gan, V editor-in-chief] and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We're playing with the idea of perception."

Barbara noted that the lovebirds wanted to announce the news "on our time," adding, "When some people leaked the information that we got engaged, our PR team was like, 'Hey, so you guys should do maybe a post about it or talk to this magazine or talk to that magazine…' That really annoyed me because I knew we were building this story up. So, I'm very happy that we ended up doing it our way."

According to People, the couple met back in 2017 after a party when the Suite Life On Deck star slid into the model’s DMs (and as they say, the rest is history). The duo made their relationship Instagram official back in 2018 with Barbara’s sweet birthday tribute for Dylan’s 26th birthday.

Let’s be real here for a second though, we all knew they were endgame the minute Dylan went above and beyond to support Barbara at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show that same year (remember this viral video?). Three days after the fashion show, the Hungarian model told Vogue Australia that she hadn’t had a boyfriend in six years, but had now found “the perfect guy” in Dylan (we aren’t crying, you are).

How old are Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse?

Barbara Palvin was born on October 8, 1993, making her 31 years old. Dylan Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992, meaning he's 32 years old. So there's only a one-year age gap between them!

2017's The Beguiled gave us one of the best groups of people of all time: Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Sofia Coppola, and Kirsten Dunst just to name a few. And we're finally getting an Elle and Nicole reunion thanks to Apple TV+! "THRILLED to bring @rufithorpe genius hysterical heart-wrenching heartwarming book to your TV screens alongside a dream group of people!" Elle says on Instagram. Rather than having to test the success of its pilot, the series has already been ordered — even though the book it's based on isn't even out yet! Here's everything you need to know about the series.

  • Dakota and Elle Fanning will produce the upcoming Apple TV+ show Margo's Got Money Troubles.
  • The series follows Margo, who signs up for OnlyFans after learning she's pregnant.
  • The cast includes Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman.

Margo's Got Money Troubles Cast

We couldn't contain our excitement when we learned Margo's Got Money Troubles will star Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, but knowing Michelle Pfeiffer is also joining the cast is too much to bear! This is the first time the actress will collaborate with her husband, TV creator David E. Kelley, so we can't wait to see the magic they'll create (via Deadline).

Nick Offerman from The Last of Us and Parks and Rec will also star.

When is Margo's Got Money Troubles coming out?

Margo's Got Money Troubles Release Date

We don't have an official release date for Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman's TV show yet. I'm thinking if the TV show is in the early stages of planning, we could see it in 2025! Check out all of this year's best New TV Shows to hold you over until then.

Amazon

Margo's Got Money Troubles Plot

Margo Millet is the daughter of a Hooter's waitress named Shyanne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and an ex-wrestler (via Deadline). She's always had to make it on her own, even though she's not sure how. When she enrolls in her local junior college, she's totally unprepared to get swept up into a torrid love affair with her English professor — or to get pregnant.

Now at 20 years old, Margo needs an income and fast. She decides to experiment with OnlyFans and ends up taking some of her estranged father's advice from the world of wrestling to create a character users will fall in love with. You can order the book now!

What is Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman's new TV show?

Margo's Got Money Troubles is coming soon to Apple TV+ thanks to a bunch of different producers. A24 is backing the film, as well as Elle and Dakota Fanning’s production company Lewellen Pictures and Nicole Kidman’s Blossom Films, to name a few.

What else has Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman starred in?

Focus Features

Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman starred in 2017's The Beguiled. The movie follows John McBurney, an injured Union soldier, who winds up at a female Southern boarding school after deserting the Civil War. But soon, as the women help him, tensions turn to rivalries and friends turn to enemies.
