For work, we use Outlook Exchange. I use it for personal calendars as well.

I need to find an app to use for personal calendars. I have a Windows pc and can use the consumer version of Outlook. But after that pc dies, I will move to Mac. So, it's viable but temporary solution (unless I use Outlook on Mac as well).

I can use Google; I do use them for email still (stability). But I'm loathe to expand use of their products unless necessary (privacy, etc).

What do you guys use for personal calendars outside of work? I'm leaning towards Outlook - seems to work okay w/ the iphone as well (use the iphone Calendar app).

For years I used different calendar apps trying to find “just the right one“.

Apple has improved their calendar app, and I now use it exclusively. You can have appointments default to a specific calendar, and easily change to other calendars and Color-Code them if you need to.

I keep the scrolling view as my default, and cannot find any reason to switch to a different type of calendar.

Yup, that's probably what I'll use when I convert this final windows pc to mac. Trying to figure out what to use in the interim.

Ease of exporting/importing calendar data from windows env to the mac calendar is a plus.

Just because you can,
doesn't mean you should

The best compromise I've found is to use Google Calendar on my Windows PC, I-phone and I-pad.

Same here. I have a subscription for Microsoft 365 but I use it mostly for OneNote and scheduled Tasks.

But for calendars, Google calendar can easily brought up on any browser if you don't have the app.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
