Check multiple calendars at once:

python3 scripts/applecal.py events create \
  --apple-id your@icloud.com \

  --summary "Birthday" \
  --start "2026-02-26" \
  --end "2026-02-26" \

Notes

Birthdays: The virtual "Birthdays" calendar is not searchable via CalDAV. Key birthdays should be added as physical recurring events in the Family calendar for agent visibility.

Auth: Resolution order is APPLECAL_PASSWORD → Python keyring (if installed/configured) → macOS Keychain fallback. Run doctor to verify connectivity.

Event update clearing: Use events update --clear-location / --clear-description to explicitly remove optional fields.

Attachment safety: attach add blocks sensitive paths/names, allowlists file extensions, and supports optional directory scoping via APPLECAL_ATTACH_DIR.

Apple ID: Always pass --apple-id your@icloud.com (the iCloud account email, not necessarily your Apple ID login).
