macOS Calendar

By ClawHub Community

Add events, reminders, and recurring meetings to your Apple Calendar using plain English.

Local Business Lookup

• Retrieves full business details including hours, contact info, and addresses
• Shows customer ratings, review counts, and price ranges
• Calculates distance from your location when coordinates are provided
• Returns photos, cuisine types, and business categories
• Provides timezone and current day hours for planning visits

macOS Calendar

• Creates calendar events from natural language ("tomorrow at 2pm", "next Monday", "in 3 days")
• Sets up recurring meetings (daily standups, weekly 1-on-1s, biweekly check-ins)
• Adds reminders and alerts before events
• Handles all-day events and blocks of time
• Works with multiple calendars (personal, work, projects)

Reach for Local Business Lookup when…

• You're researching local restaurants, shops, or services for a project

Reach for macOS Calendar when…

• You need to schedule a meeting or block time without opening Calendar

• You're juggling multiple calendars and want to add events quickly
• You prefer saying "remind me to call the dentist in 2 days" over manual entry
