mcal

A simple script for managing macOS built-in calendar app from command line. So you don't have to align the events with your mouse.

This program meant for people who record everything minute by minute to their calendar. mcal deals only with previous/current/next event in the near time. Scheduling future events or editing past events cannot be done with mcal.
