pooriaarab iCloud Calendar Organizer
Clean up Calendar.app / iCloud Calendar via AppleScript or EventKit.
Requirements
- macOS Calendar.app with iCloud Calendars enabled.
- Automation access to Calendar (AppleScript prompt on first call).
Step 1 — Ask the User First
1. Calendar scope — list all calendars and let user pick which to touch.
2. Account split — iCloud-only, or include subscribed calendars (Google delegate, work)?
3. Color coding — preserve, normalize to a palette, or remap by category?
4. Old events — archive past events, delete past-events-without-attendees, or leave alone?
5. Duplicate detection — same-named calendars synced from old devices?
Steps (TBD)
- Inventory — list calendars (account, color, count of events).
- Identify duplicates — same name + similar event counts across accounts.
- Plan — calendar consolidation + color remap.
- Approve — batch.
- Apply — delete duplicate calendars, recolor, archive.
- Verify — final list.
Surface-specific notes
- iCloud Calendar and Google Calendar are independent — handle each in its own pass.
- Subscribed calendars (e.g. shared Google calendars accessed via iCloud) can't be deleted on the iCloud side; unsubscribe at the source.
- AppleScript can list calendars and events; bulk delete is faster via the
calCLI or EventKit (Swift).
