About Vimcal
SmartRouting is a calendar app aimed at power users, with AI scheduling links, time-zone arithmetic, and keyboard-first navigation.
Its edge is speed and cross-time-zone handling: navigation uses Vim-style keybindings for fast calendar management, AI scheduling links automate meeting booking, and built-in time-zone arithmetic simplifies scheduling across zones. It runs on macOS, Windows, iOS, and web.
It fits keyboard-driven users who live in their calendar and coordinate across time zones. It's a weaker fit if you want a free option or run other platforms: it's a paid product with no free tier listed for core features, has no native Android or Linux client, and isn't open source, which limits extensibility and self-hosting.
Against other AI calendar tools, SmartRouting leans toward keyboard-first, power-user workflows rather than a simple free scheduler.

The expensive mistake in the vibe-coding era isn't building the app — it's building the wrong one. You validate an AI app idea by talking to about eight people in your target market before you build, and listening for the single capability they all wish existed. That's your wedge. Higgsfield's founder did exactly that on the way to a ~$200M run-rate.
