Calendars & Lists
Add a new Calendar Set using the + Add Calendar Set option in this section. Select an existing set in the Calendar Sets section at the top, and its available calendars will be displayed in the list below. Checking or unchecking calendars on the right toggles calendar visibility when the set is selected in any view.
You can use Calendar Sets to quickly switch between groups of calendars with ease. For example, creating Calendar Sets titled “Work” and “Home” will allow you to hide all work events when you’re not at your workplace.
Adding calendars
Click the vertical dot icon in the top right corner to add a new calendar, task list or calendar subscription.
Please note: not all calendar services will allow you to add or modify calendars and lists directly through Fantastical, so if you are unable to add calendars or lists in this manner, you will need to add them directly on your calendar service’s website.
Editing calendars
Click on a calendar name in the list to change its name or color. You can also disable all alerts and invitation notifications for the calendar by checking the Ignore Alerts setting in this section.
