Warning

Starting with version 4.0, Just Control communicates with the macOS Calendar application and therefore the application must have access to the macOS Calendar application. Upon first launch Just Control requests access to the macOS Calendar application.

If Calendar acces hasn't been granted, follow these steps to enable Calendar access:

  1. Open the “System Preferences”.

  2. Go to the “Security & Privacy” preference pane

  3. Switch to the “Privacy” tab.

  4. Look for Just Control and make sure it can access “Calendars”.

Preface

In Schedule Mode a Channel records files based on Calendar Events from the macOS Calendar application of the machine running Just Control. After configuring a Channel in the Just Control Configuration Panel, a Calendar with the Channel's name will be added to the macOS Calendar application automatically. You may also use any other Calendar which can be added to the Calendar app, like iCloud or Gmail Accounts or from Mail/Calendar servers. Events scheduled in the corresponding Calendar will automatically switch the Channel to Schedule Mode and start a Recording. When stopping a Scheduled Recording manually, the corresponding Event will be deleted automatically.

Info

Please be ware that the Date and Time Format changes within the System Preferences are only possible with macOS Monterey or with earlier macOS versions. Starting with macOS Ventura this is not possible any longer. When using macOS Ventura, please use following Terminal commands to adjust the Date and Time formats:

Date:

defaults write -g AppleICUDateFormatStrings -dict 4 "ddMMyyyy"

Time:

defaults write -g AppleICUTimeFormatStrings -dict 4 "HHmm"

Adjust the format part according to your needs and restart Just Control.

Please be aware that you can not change the Date format within the Language & Region Pref Pane within the System Preference Pane, as you override the custom Date and Time settings with this step again (macOS Ventura only).

...

Changing the format of these Calendar Event Variables is very easy and straightforward as well. In order to make this as flexible as possible, we are using the default system settings for that. To change that, open the custom format settings for “Date” and “Time”, which can be found here:
