Creating events and reminders

Right-click a date (control-click) in the grid to open the form for that day.

Create form

Choose Event or Reminder at the top, fill in what you need, and click Add.

Field What it does
Title The name of the event. Suggestions come from the past three years (see below)
all-day Removes the times and makes it an all-day event
starts / ends The date and time. The end must come after the start
repeat None, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with an interval and an end date
alerts When to be notified beforehand. Use + to add more than one
Calendar Click the colored dot next to the title to choose where it is saved. Calendars are grouped by account and sorted by name

As you type a title, Calinsight offers up to six events from the past three years that start the same way. Use ↑↓ to choose one and press Return, or click it. You can also ignore the suggestions and keep typing.

Weekly lets you pick the days, monthly the dates, and yearly the months and dates — the same options as Custom in the macOS Calendar app. If an event already has a rule more complex than these, Calinsight keeps that rule as it is.

A reminder has a title, a due date, a repeat rule, alerts and a list. The due date is optional.
