Busy Apps has released BusyCal 2026.4.1 and BusyContacts 2026.4.1, with BusyCal receiving improved Siri support for managing events and tasks. The calendar app also improves natural language entry for floating events and recurring schedules across time zones, adds a 30-minute snooze option for notifications, improves meeting invitation and reply handling for Outlook and CalDAV accounts, reduces repeated confirmation prompts while editing the same event, fixes availability not refreshing correctly after date or time zone changes, and resolves an issue with Google sync getting stuck after rejected availability or privacy changes.
BusyContacts improves CSV export to include all custom fields with their labels and repeated values; restores search highlighting when switching between contact cards; restores autocomplete for names, job titles, and organizations; resolves hangs when opening menus that suggest contact field values; and prevents rejected Microsoft contact changes from blocking other contacts from syncing.
