What is MagiCal?
MagiCal is a macOS calendar and reminders app that helps users keep upcoming events and deadline-based reminders together in one place. It is designed for people who want a quick desktop view of their schedule without constantly opening Apple Calendar or Reminders. The app includes a customizable calendar interface, a menu bar mini app for fast access, and options such as week numbers, start-of-week settings, and reopening the last viewed month. It also integrates with the native macOS Calendar and Reminders apps so you can view scheduled events alongside unfinished reminders with due dates. MagiCal supports dark mode, multiple languages, and month-based background themes. On older macOS versions up to macOS 10.15 Catalina, it also offers a Notification Center widget for at-a-glance access.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
MagiCal is a legitimate calendar utility for macOS. Access to your calendars and reminders is normal for its purpose, and those permissions are what let it display your events and due items inside the app. If you stop using it, removing the app will simply prevent it from showing your schedule in its own window, menu bar mini app, or older Notification Center widget.
Recommendation: Keep MagiCal if you use it as a faster way to view calendar events and reminders from the menu bar or desktop. If you no longer use its calendar view or mini app, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself, though you will lose its custom interface and quick-access features.
