I use the Calendar on Mac. I launch Calendar with the keyboard commander, press command-n to create a new event, and then type in the event details in natural language and press return. Fantastical is another option I’ve played with which is even faster – it sits in the menu bar and can be triggered with a hot key trigger, and the event details typed straight in – but for now I still prefere Apple’s native Calendar app on Mac.
