Calendar and Reminders

Allow access

Add Calendar or Reminders from the widget library. Open the widget, click Connect, and allow access when macOS asks.

Calendar asks for full calendar access, but Dockset only reads events. Reminders access lets you view, add, and complete reminders. If you denied access earlier, enable Dockset under the relevant app in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Choose calendars and a layout

Open the Calendar widget and click Calendars… to choose which calendars appear. The widget prioritizes a meeting starting within 30 minutes, then an ongoing event. Long events stay available in the popout without taking over the compact tile.

Right-click and choose Configure widget… to select Date, Next event, Date + next event, or Date + agenda. Use Include all-day events to include them in the event display.

The calendar picker shows each calendar’s name alongside its account description. If two accounts have the same description, expand Name accounts with identical descriptions and give them recognizable names, such as Work and Personal. These labels are saved only in Dockset. macOS supplies account descriptions rather than email addresses.

Join a meeting

Enable Show call button in an event layout that offers it. When an event contains a supported meeting link, the call button opens it. Dockset looks for meeting links in the event’s URL, location, and notes.

If a call button is missing, check that the event contains a meeting link and belongs to a selected calendar.

Choose a list and manage reminders

Open the Reminders widget and click Lists to choose one list or All lists. Click the circle beside a reminder to complete it; use Undo if you completed it by mistake.

Type into Add a reminder and click Add to create one. In Configure widget…, choose List, Next reminder, or Count for the Dock tile.

If a calendar or list is unavailable after moving Macs, check your accounts in Apple’s apps and select it again in Dockset.
