Calinsight

Install and set up Calinsight

1. Install Calinsight

Section titled “1. Install Calinsight”

Get it from the Mac App Store and open it from your Applications folder.

The icon appears in the menu bar. Calinsight does not appear in the Dock.

2. Allow access to Calendars and Reminders

Section titled “2. Allow access to Calendars and Reminders”

macOS asks for permission the first time you open Calinsight. Choose the button that allows access.

Calendars and Reminders are granted separately. If you allow only one of them, the features for that side still work. To change your answer later, see Troubleshooting.

3. Start Calinsight at login

Section titled “3. Start Calinsight at login”

In Settings (⌘,), open the General tab and turn on Launch at login so Calinsight is in the menu bar every time you start your Mac.

The General tab of Settings: launch at login, the shortcut to open Calinsight, days with a background color and the scroll-together option

4. Choose which calendars to show

Section titled “4. Choose which calendars to show”

In the Calendars tab, select Active for the calendars you want to see. Hiding the ones you rarely use makes the month grid, the list and the dashboards easier to read.

The Calendars tab of Settings: Active and Holiday checkboxes for each calendar

Reminder lists work the same way in the Reminders tab. Calendars from accounts that are not set up in macOS do not appear here (A Google calendar is missing).

Every setting is described in Settings.
