Fantastical Arrives on Googlebook
Fantastical, a calendar application previously available on Apple and Windows platforms, has launched on Googlebook. This release marks the application's initial availability on a Google mobile operating system, specifically for Google's new laptop initiative.
Android Phone and Tablet Release Delayed
Despite Googlebook running on an Android-based OS, the Fantastical application is not yet ready for Android phones, tablets, or foldables. Flexibits co-founder and CEO Michael Simmons stated that these versions are in development but are not expected to launch until 2027. The company's contact management app, Cardhop, has no announced plans for an Android release.
Pricing and Availability
Existing Fantastical users on other platforms can access the Googlebook version without additional cost. New users can also use the application across supported devices. Individual subscriptions for Fantastical start at $57 per year, with family plans priced at $90 annually. A free tier with fewer features is also available.
Development Background
Fantastical originated on Mac in 2011 and later expanded to Windows in late 2024. The decision to develop for Googlebook came after Google demonstrated its new laptop platform to the Fantastical team. This development represents the first step towards broader compatibility with Google's mobile OS ecosystem.
