What This Skill Does
calctl manages Apple Calendar events from the command line using icalBuddy for reads and AppleScript for writes. Commands cover listing calendars, viewing events by date range, creating events with options, and searching by title.
Reads and writes Apple Calendar events entirely from the terminal without switching to the Calendar app or using a GUI.
When to use it
- Check today's schedule without opening Calendar
- Add a meeting to a specific work calendar from the terminal
- Search for an upcoming event by keyword
- View all events for the current week
- Create an all-day event or one with notes attached
