nocal for Google Calendar
I've always wanted to build a calendar client, and so a little over a year ago I started to build nocal. For the most part, calendars are all the same — even contemporary calendars like CRON were just polished skins on the same old experience. There's been near-zero real innovation in years. They tell you what to do, but never help you do it. They're noisy, rigid, and often anxiety-inducing. I set out to build a calendar that focuses on the important things, and keeps the noise tucked away, and helps you be productive. nocal has a concept of weekly notes, which serve as a scratchpad for…

The powerful calendar app for Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android. Unify Google Calendar and Outlook with notes, tasks, and built-in MCP for AI agents.
Transform your weekly view into your command center. Write in Markdown, embed rich components, and see your entire week holistically. Build your weekly plan with powerful components. Everything you need, right in your calendar. Most calendars just hold meetings. nocal reads yours and finds the focus hiding inside. A 1:1 to stack, an optional sync to decline, a quiet block worth protecting. Cursor, ChatGPT, and Claude can read real context from nocal and write results back into structured notes, so your work stays organized instead of disappearing into chat history. Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT calls nocal MCP tools to find the right note history and current project context. Your model turns…from nocal.app

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!
