Change the hours Calendar shows in Day and Week view

Why it happens

Day and Week view are built around a working day, so Calendar shows a fixed block of hours and makes you scroll for the rest. Out of the box it usually runs from 8 AM to 6 PM. Your events outside it are still there, just off screen.

How to fix it

1. Open Calendar, then click Calendar in the menu bar and choose Settings.

2. Click General. Use the Day starts at menu to pick the first hour you want to see, for example 6 AM for early starts.

   Calendar›Settings…›General›Day starts at

3. Set Day ends at to your last hour, say 11 PM if you plan evenings. Then pick how many hours show at a time, so a long day fits without scrolling.

4. Close the settings window and switch to Day or Week view. The grid now starts and ends where you chose.

Still not fixed?

1. If you see a seven-day week but only want weekdays, change Days per week in the same General settings.

   Calendar›Settings…›General›Days per week

2. If the hours look right but text is cramped, show fewer hours at a time. Each hour then gets more room and short events are easier to read.

3. These settings belong to Calendar on your Mac only. Your iPhone and iPad keep their own view, so changing them here won't move anything there.

4. If Calendar forgets your hours every time you open it, restart your Mac and set them again. If they still won't stay, contact Apple Support.
