  • Displays events from all calendars or just specific ones you choose
  • Adjusts for different timezones when viewing your schedule

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)
