Guide: How to Manage Calendar Alerts on MacOS

To change the default calendar notification settings for your Mac, open the System Preferences app and select the Calendar tab. In the Calendar section, you will see a list of all of your events. You can click on one of the event titles to see more information about it, or you can drag and drop an event from this list into a new calendar row in the Calendar app. If you want to add a custom alert type to an event, you can do this by clicking on the Add Custom Alert button and entering a description for your alert. Finally, click on OK to save your changes.

Access to calendar preferences

The Warnings tab allows you to set how often you want to receive alerts for specific events. You can set a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly alarm. The daily alarm will send an alert every day from the Calendar app. The weekly alarm will send an alert every week from the Calendar app. The monthly alarm will send an alert every month from the Calendar app. The yearly alarm will send an alert once a year from the Calendar app.

Three types of calendar events

The drop-down menus marked by the red box above represent the default alert time for each of the three event types. The first, “Events”, are standard events, including multi-day events, that have specific start and end times. The second, “All Day Events”, are events, again including multi-day events, that do not have a specific start and end time and are marked with the “All Day Event” checkbox. The third, “Birthdays”, birthdays are automatically added to your calendar from your Contacts app. That means that the default alert setting only affects contacts for which you have added a date in the “Birthday” field. However, if you’ve manually added birthdays to your calendar without using the Contacts app (for example, creating custom all-day events for each birthday), those entries will be affected by the default “Events” or “All Day Events” alert value, depending on how they are made. You don’t have to change your birthday tracking method if you don’t want to; but keep in mind that ‘Birthdays’ setting won’t do anything for you here if you don’t have birthdays saved in the Contacts app

Change the default calendar alerts

To change the default notification settings for calendar events, click on the drop-down menu for each type of event and select one of the following: Only use these standard alerts on this computer: This allows you to decide if your default alerts only apply to your current Mac or if you want to sync them across all of your iCloud devices. Close the Calendar Preferences window and create a new appointment in your Calendar app. New events are automatically configured with the default alert time you previously configured.

Calendar alert notifications

To change the timing of Calendar alerts, go to System Preferences> Notifications. In the list on the left, you can choose what Calendar alerts look like on your Mac and how they work. For example, you can choose a Banner style that appears and disappears automatically after a few seconds or you can choose the Alerts style, which only disappears when you click on it intentionally.
