Vimcal
The fastest calendar for founders, execs, and anyone drowning in meetings
Vimcal is a calendar built for people who run packed schedules — founders, executives, VCs, and executive assistants. Type out your availability in plain language and it schedules the meeting instantly, instead of juggling booking links. It shows overlapping work hours across time zones automatically (Time Travel), has sub-100ms response times with keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything, and unifies work and personal calendars (Google Calendar and Outlook) into one view. Extra touches include color-coded event tags with time-spend breakdowns, social profiles/company dossiers for meeting attendees, a Focus Mode with ambient backdrops, and a dedicated Vimcal EA product built specifically for executive assistants scheduling on behalf of others.
