Fantastical 2 Updated With Support for Siri Shortcuts, Interactive Notifications, More

The Fantastical 2 calendar app has been updated with support for Siri Shortcuts, interactive notifications, Siri and Infograph watch faces, and more. Fantastical 2.10 takes advantage of new features in iOS 12 and watchOS 5 and requires at minimum iOS 11 and watchOS 4.

Here's a look at the new features...

Siri Shortcuts
Siri Shortcuts allow you to bring Fantastical directly into custom Siri phrases and other shortcuts.


Here are some examples of what you can do with Fantastical’s shortcuts:
● Set a phrase such as “Hey Fantastical” to automatically open Fantastical to quickly begin creating a new event or reminder using Fantastical’s parser
● Show upcoming events or reminders as part of a custom shortcut using the Shortcuts app
● Jump to a specific reminders list by creating a button on the home screen with the Shortcuts app
● And more: You can see all of Fantastical’s available shortcuts in the Settings app under Fantastical

You can access Fantastical’s shortcuts from the Settings app under Fantastical > Siri & Search > Shortcuts, or from Apple’s Shortcuts app.




Interactive notifications
You can now snooze events and reminders directly from the notifications, rather than having to open Fantastical. This makes it even more convenient to snooze items for later, and you can even choose how long you want to snooze for.


Siri watch face
Fantastical will now send upcoming events and reminders to the Siri watch face. Siri watch face learns what kind of information you want to see over time, so the more you use Fantastical on your watch the more often you’ll see upcoming events and reminders.



Infograph watch face
Fantastical 2.10 also brings support for the new Infograph watch faces for the Apple Watch Series 4. You can choose from three different complication styles: Two for the Infograph face and one for the Infograph Modular face. Don’t forget that you can customize what is shown in the complications. Open Fantastical, tap the settings icon, then tap Apple Watch and you can choose what kind of information is shown.



You can purchase Fantastical 2 for iPhone from the App Store for $2.99.
