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

Transparent holographic image of a digital calendar. Shows a 31 day month in the left side bar. Checklist is below with checked items for gather requirements and identify risks. Calendar shows Monday through Thursday with dates of 8-11 across the top. Calendar is in military time from 8:00 to 18:00. A few events shaded in with hard to read titles. Behind the holograph is the hands of a person typing on an open laptop with one hand and using some kind of electronic pencil in the other. Laptop is on a dark woodgrain desk.

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.
