I like fixtur.es because it lets me follow my favourite teams in whatever calendar I already use. I do not need to install a separate app, deal with ads, or commit to a subscription. The calendar itself becomes the interface.
It supports football, tennis, MotoGP, and Formula 1, and it works smoothly with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and others. Once it is set up, it mostly disappears, which is exactly what I want.
This kind of software feels respectful. It solves a real problem, stays out of the way, and does not try to own my attention.
It will also be especially useful for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The tournament will span multiple countries and time zones, with matches spread across weeks. Having all fixtures automatically appear in my calendar feels far more reliable than checking schedules manually or juggling yet another app. For events like this, a calendar feed is not just convenient, it reduces friction and missed matches.
I’m a US-based software engineer with a background in law. I share mostly practical tech notes here for my future self and anyone who finds them useful.
One of the things I’ve built is Masterlist: Focus & Tasks, a privacy-focused, local-storage-only task manager that offers focus tracking tied to tasks and projects, compatible with the Pomodoro technique.
