Show Mac Calendar events

DayRipple can show the events in your Mac's Calendar app on its own screens. It only reads them. They're visible only on this Mac and aren't sent to the server or to your space members. The Windows app doesn't have this feature.

Connect and choose

  1. Step 1. In Settings › External calendars, turn on Show external calendars

    Click External calendars in the list on the left of Settings and turn on the Show external calendars switch. The first time, macOS asks whether to allow access to your calendars. If you allow it, all the calendars on your Mac start out turned on. Clicking Connect next to ‘Connect Mac calendar’ in the first-launch guide does the same thing.

    If you didn't allow it, the ‘Calendar access’ row shows ‘Not allowed · Open System Settings ↗’. Click it to open the calendar privacy screen in macOS System Settings, allow DayRipple there, and come back.

  2. Step 2. Choose which calendars to show in each mode

    When the switch is on, ‘Calendar mode · calendars to show’ and ‘Planner mode · calendars to show’ appear separately below it. Click a row to check or uncheck it. For example, you can show your work calendar on the calendar and only your personal calendar in the planner.

    To hide them for a moment, you don't need to go to Settings. In calendar mode, click the ‘External calendars’ chip above the calendar. In the planner, click the ⋯ button in the title bar. You can turn each calendar off and on there.

  3. Step 3. Change these events in the Mac Calendar app

    DayRipple only reads these events. When you open one, it shows the calendar name and ‘read-only’, and you can't edit, delete or drag it. Change it in the Mac Calendar app, then come back to the DayRipple window and it reads them again.

Good to know

  • These events are visible only on this Mac and aren't sent to the server. To let the other person see them too, turn on Share with space members in the external calendar settings of the phone app. Calendars shared that way from a phone also show on the desktop calendar.
  • If Google Calendar is missing, add the account in your device calendar settings. Only events visible in the built-in Calendar app can be shown.
  • These events don't count toward the event limit or the free items on desktop, and DayRipple doesn't send notifications for them.
  • If you sign in with a different DayRipple account, the connection goes back to off. Turn it on again.
