CalendarKit is a Swift calendar UI library for iOS and Mac Catalyst. It looks similar to the Apple Calendar app out-of-the-box, while allowing customization when needed. CalendarKit is composed of multiple modules which can be used together or independently.
If you have a programming question about how to use CalendarKit in your application, Create a new GitHub Issue with the question tag.

CalendarKit can be installed with Swift Package Manager or with CocoaPods.
The preferred way of installing CalendarKit is via the Swift Package Manager.
- In Xcode, open your project and navigate to File β Swift Packages β Add Package Dependency...
- Paste the repository URL (
https://github.com/richardtop/CalendarKit.git
) and click Next. - For Rules, select Version (Up to Next Major) and click Next.
- Click Finish.
Adding Package Dependencies to Your App
To install it, add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'CalendarKit'
Adding Pods to an Xcode project
- Subclass
DayViewController
- Implement
EventDataSource
protocol to show events.
CalendarKit requires EventDataSource
to return an array of objects conforming to EventDescriptor
protocol, specifying all the information needed to display a particular event. You're free to use a default Event
class as a model or create your own class conforming to the EventDescriptor
protocol.
// Return an array of EventDescriptors for particular date
override func eventsForDate(_ date: Date) -> [EventDescriptor] {
var models = myAppEventStore.getEventsForDate(date) // Get events (models) from the storage / API
var events = [Event]()
for model in models {
// Create new EventView
let event = Event()
// Specify DateInterval
event.dateInterval = DateInterval(start: model.startDate, end: model.endDate)
// Add info: event title, subtitle, location to the array of Strings
var info = [model.title, model.location]
info.append("\(datePeriod.beginning!.format(with: "HH:mm")) - \(datePeriod.end!.format(with: "HH:mm"))")
// Set "text" value of event by formatting all the information needed for display
event.text = info.reduce("", {$0 + $1 + "\n"})
events.append(event)
}
return events
}
After receiving an array of events for a particular day, CalendarKit will handle view layout and display.
To respond to the user input, override mehtods of DayViewDelegate
, for example:
override func dayViewDidSelectEventView(_ eventView: EventView) {
print("Event has been selected: \(eventview.data)")
}
override func dayViewDidLongPressEventView(_ eventView: EventView) {
print("Event has been longPressed: \(eventView.data)")
}
CalendarKit supports localization and uses iOS default locale to display month and day names. First day of the week is also selected according to the iOS locale.
By default, CalendarKit looks similar to the Apple Calendar app and fully supports Dark Mode. If needed, CalendarKit's look can be easily customized. Steps to apply a custom style are as follows:
- Create a new
CalendarStyle
object (or copy existing one) - Change style by updating the properties.
- Invoke
updateStyle
method with the newCalendarStyle
.
let style = CalendarStyle()
style.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
dayView.updateStyle(style)
- iOS 11.0+, macOS (Catalyst) 10.15+
- Swift 5.7+
