BusyCal 2026.2.3 and BusyContacts 2026.2.2

Busy Apps has released BusyCal 2026.2.3 and BusyContacts 2026.2.2. BusyCal now lets you configure a calendar to automatically create time-blocking events on another calendar, and time-blocking rules sync across all copies of BusyCal on macOS and iOS. The update also adds presets for faster snoozing in the Alarm Window, allows currently selected items to be retrieved via AppleScript and Claude Desktop, improves compatibility with third-party CalDAV servers, fixes a bug where dragging an event into the Task List would not convert the event into a task, resolves an issue where the date picker would not always appear immediately when clicking the date field, and addresses an issue where email addresses in MS Graph Sharing settings could reappear after deletion.

BusyContacts improves its handling of relationships in Outlook and Microsoft Graph accounts, adds a setting to hide floating windows when switching between apps (Settings > Views), and improves handling of malformed vCards.
