Want an Event List in Apple’s Calendar App? Try This Trick

Along with day, week, month, and year views, most calendar apps offer the option of a simple chronological list of events, which can be a handy way to see what’s coming up.

Apple’s Calendar app on the Mac is unfortunately not among those apps.

However, there is a trick you can use to get it to show all your upcoming events in a scrolling list.

Click in the Search field in the upper-right corner and enter two double quote marks (“”).

In essence, it’s a search for “everything,” and Calendar promptly shows all your events in a row down the right side of the window.

If you’re looking for a more capable calendar app, BusyCal and Fantastical are popular in the Mac community, and some apps like Microsoft Outlook and Zoom also include calendaring features.
