NotchStar shows events that have not finished yet, from now until the end of tomorrow, sorted by start time. Each event has a coloured bar in the colour of its calendar, plus a start time or "All day". The Calendar tab lists up to four events. The Home tab lists the next two.

## The rules

- **Window:** today and tomorrow. Events later than that do not appear.
- **Not ended:** an event that finished an hour ago is gone. One that started an hour ago and ends later is still listed.
- **Order:** by start time.
- **Calendars:** NotchStar asks macOS for events from all calendars and has no setting to choose which ones. Events come through macOS from the calendars your Mac knows about, so accounts added to the Calendar app, such as iCloud, Google or Exchange, can appear here. See [Google Calendar events](https://www.notchstar.com/help/notchstar-google-calendar-events/).
- **Read only:** you cannot create, move or delete an event from the notch.

## Why one is missing

Check the order of the checks. First that [access is granted](https://www.notchstar.com/help/notchstar-calendar-access-denied/), then that the event is inside the window, then that it has not ended. If a day is busy, only the first four appear on Calendar and two on Home.

An empty list has its own page: [why no events show](https://www.notchstar.com/help/notchstar-calendar-shows-no-events/). The tool is described on the [Calendar and Reminders page](https://www.notchstar.com/features/calendar-reminders/).
