Make your day. The all-new HEY Calendar puts time on your side.
Week after week, not month after month
People think in days and weeks, not months. What’s tomorrow? Later this week? Next week? The HEY Calendar is built around how you think, not how paper calendars were designed.
Habits and highlights
Establish a habit, stick with it. Circle important events so they stand out. Fill your days with memories or moments — not just events.
“Sometime this week” mimics real life
Need to get an oil change? Get some cash from the ATM? Write a thank you note? Maybe this week or next, just not exactly sure when you’ll have a chance? HEY knows “maybe” is a real thing.
And plenty more
The HEY Calendar is a full-featured calendar with many original twists on common — and not so common — conventions. Soon you’ll wonder why all calendars don’t work like this.
- Set countdowns for anticipated events
- Use Day Labels to add context to days
- Set up color-coded sub-calendars
- Flexible reminders so you don’t miss out

Innovative thinking again!
UPDATE #2: sadly for this update I had to knock a star off. We still don’t have 2-way integration or syncing and we still don’t a good location set where we can view maps and set travel times etc. I wanted to replace the outdated Apple option but I use locations and travel times all the time so for me the Hey calendar still lacks the functionality I would personally want. For me it’s still not a viable replacement for Apple calendar. There are also a few issues with ics files and invites syncing but the developers have been great in supporting my queries. Just not there yet for me ! UPDATE : really poor and slow syncing issues are the big let down for this app, so disappointing all worked well until I went to link my Apple calendar so, so slow to sync events across so updated my review. It needs a few other things sorting like map integration for event locations and the back background on the week view is not in tune with the rest of the app. Most important is the ability to read and write to other calendars. All being said a great calendar to go with best email out there
Offline support and app icons
Great app following the recent updates but adding offline support and new app icons would take it even further!
Great on its own terms
Lots to praise about this app, in fact, most of it is praise worthy! Great design, good UI and UX, but it falls flat on integration between the email and calendar.
As a Hey Email user, I was so excited to finally have a calendar to go along with the email. The dev makes a big deal of having their own servers and control of the information, but their services still misses basic date related emails that google workspace captures easily, like flights and trains or classes. Moreover, the calendar doesn’t search through locations on a map service to match and enrich location input in the events. And lastly, because the calendar account doesn’t work at all with other apps and calendar links don’t open directly in Hey Calendar on iPhone, I have to manually recreate calendar events I receive from event companies that offer a ‘download for other calendar’ button on their confirmation screens.
If I could use a workaround, like adding calendar events through Apple calendar quickly due to easy integration with iPhone, that would solve it for now.
I find this app and this side of the Hey service creates more friction, not less, in my personal calendar. And it walls it off needlessly from my work calendars. It asks more of a user, not less. Not sure that’s a good direction, when Hey Email asks less of users than other emails and is rightly praised for that.
Hope it can improve in the future because I’m a huge Hey Email fan.
Great potential
Big fan of Basecamp & Hey! and I know at some point soon the Calendar will be there. For me to replace my current calendar BusyCal, I need 15 min intervals instead of 30 min and some other tweaks
Can’t imagine not having it
I’ve only been using the HEY Calendar for a couple of months and I already can’t imagine going back to an old, boring calendar. This is completely different, delightful, and novel in so many ways. I especially like the Habit tracker.
Needs a bit more work
It’s a simple calendar and in that way good.
Two things which are currently lacking and I think are a must:
the calendar needs to be searchable.
And At the moment there is no way to copy events (eg if they are recurring at different dates).
Would also be good if emails could be parsed and events put into the calendar
Solid first release
Looking forward to where this goes.
I don’t know if this is on the roadmap.. but I definitely want to see integration with existing calendar services such that I can add new events and edit existing events on Apple / Google calendars. IMO it will really hinder my uptake if I can’t fully sync with my family calendars.
I don’t usually write reviews but
…the Hey calendar is simple and brilliant. I have imported everything from my Google calendar and now only use Hey on all my devices. The Hey team do great things. Highly recommended.
Frustrating
Why can events only be assigned to 15 minute increments? What if I have an event running from 13:10 to 13:50? What kind of calendar app is incapable of representing this novel concept?
Why do sequential events STACK on top of each other so you can’t see them?
Why is there no way to quickly jump to a specific month or year? Why are we forced to scroll WEEK BY WEEK?
I’m going straight back to apple’s calendar
They’ve done it again
When 37signals announced the new HEY calendar, I thought it’d be a functional Google type calendar with a nicer UI. I was wrong. It’s WAY MORE than just a calendar. It’s a habit and time tracker, a really simple but effective weekly to-do list, a place to sync all your calendars in one place AND…it’s free if you already use HEY for email. Simply, un, real, value.
