This workflow helps you run your agenda from conversation instead of manually editing Calendar all day.

What this helps you do

When you are planning your day, adding meetings from chat, or cleaning up old events, Alter can handle those actions directly in Apple Calendar. You can think of it as an assistant that keeps your schedule consistent while you stay focused on work.

Works with

  • App: Apple Calendar
  • Tool type: Local tool
  • Permissions: Calendars

What Alter can do today

Alter can list calendars and events, create new events, update existing ones, and remove events. In practice, the best flow is to first ask for a quick schedule view, then ask for changes in follow-up prompts.

What Alter cannot do yet

Alter may ask a follow-up question when multiple events have similar titles. To avoid ambiguity, include clear date and time details in your prompt.

A realistic workflow

1

Start with visibility

Ask Alter to show your events for today or tomorrow.
2

Apply changes

Ask Alter to create, move, or remove events based on what you see.
3

Verify final schedule

Ask for the updated event list so you confirm everything is in place.

Copy/paste prompts

  • “Show my events for tomorrow.”
  • “Create a 45-minute event called ‘Design review’ tomorrow at 14:00 in my Work calendar.”
  • “Move my ‘Design review’ event to 15:00 and keep the same duration.”
  • “List my events from 2026-03-06 to 2026-03-10.”
  • “Remove the ‘Design review’ event tomorrow.”

How to enable

1

Enable Calendar in Tools Manager

Open Alter -> click the three dots -> Tools Manager -> Local Tools -> enable Calendar.
2

Allow Calendar permission

On first use, macOS asks for permission. Allow access to Calendars for Alter.
3

Run a quick test

Ask: “Show my events for tomorrow.” If it returns events, you are ready.

What to expect

  • If multiple events share similar titles, Alter may ask you to confirm which one to edit or remove.
  • You get best results when your prompt includes date, time, and calendar name.
