BusyCal 2024.1.2 has been released and is available for download. We stagger our roll-outs, so in case you don't see one available within the app, feel free to download the latest trial version directly.

Release Notes

• 🆕 Directly sync with Apple Calendar in read-only mode. Ideal for users with restricted third-party access to work accounts. New account option under Settings > Accounts > New Account > Apple Calendar
• 🆕 Dates in the Menu app have been redesigned for clearer visibility, making it easier to read the dates
• 🆕 Task list improvements. Task priorities can now be changed directly from the task list by clicking on the new priority drop-down button. Dates / times now display below the title so that more of your titles can show in a single line.
• 🆕 When sorting Task list by date, hovering your mouse over the date sections will display the number of days remaining until that date
• 🆕 Task list now shows indicators for embedded contacts, tags, locations, URLs and attachments. These can be optionally turned off from under Settings > Tasks
• 🆕 Task list can now display both a location name and a preview of notes, directly beneath the task title, for easier access and reference
• 🆕 New accessibility option to disable auto-enabling of calendars after a drag and drop
• 🆕 New option under Todoist Account Settings to hide tasks assigned to others
• 🆕 Now, when you drag and move multiple events, they'll shift based on their original dates. To move them all to the same date instead, hold down the shift key
• 🆕 Quickly respond to multiple meeting invites using the option+click context menu
• ✨ All duplicated events are now automatically selected in the calendar
• ✨ Improved handling of non-standard characters in parsed ics files
• 🔨 Fixed bug where the "Darken text" appearance setting stopped working
• 🔨 Fixed bug where the availability viewer would turn blank after switching to a date that wasn't visible on the main calendar
• 🔨 Fixed a sync issue with Todoist where bogus carriage return \r characters in notes copied from Microsoft To Do would trip the server
