The Calinsight window

The menu bar icon

The icon is not a fixed image. It shows today’s date, and its underline becomes thicker when you have events or reminders today. It redraws itself when the date changes.

Click the icon to open the Calinsight window, and click again to close it. Right-click (or control-click) the icon for a menu that opens Settings or quits Calinsight. If you set Shortcut to Open Calinsight in the General tab of Settings, that shortcut opens and closes Calinsight from any app.

Three views

Calinsight has three views. Click the view name in the middle of the bar to move to the next one, or swipe left or right with two fingers over the lower half to move to the next or previous view. The dots to its left show which view you are on. The next time you launch Calinsight, it opens on the view you last had open.

The month grid

The upper half of the window is the month grid. Scroll up or down with two fingers and the grid carries on week by week into the months before and after (Scrolling ahead).

• Bars and squares — the day’s events appear as short vertical bars (up to six) and its reminders as small squares (up to three), each in the color of its calendar or list. The square of a completed reminder is filled in
• Today — the number is circled
• The 1st of a month — shows its month, as in “11/1”. Days outside the month in the title are dimmed
• CW — the calendar week number
• Your chosen days and holidays — you can give the days you choose (your days off, for example) and the days with events in a holiday calendar a background color in Settings (Settings)

With VoiceOver, you can move through the grid one day at a time. Each day reads its date and weekday, whether it is today, how many events and reminders it has, and whether it is selected. Press a day to select it, or choose New… or Paste from its actions.

The bar

Between the grid and the list is a narrow bar. It holds Settings (gear) on the left, the view name in the middle, and Search (magnifier) and Filter on the right. When you open the search, the view name in the middle turns into the search field (Searching).

The list

The lower half is the list. Events and reminders appear in date order and run on across months. How to read a row is in Reading the list.
