Restore a deleted event

1. Open Calendar Restore and pick a snapshot on the timeline at the right, from before the event was deleted.
2. Deleted events appear dashed in red. Use the Deleted filter at the bottom left, or search for the event by name.
3. Click the event, check Restore to, and click Restore Event.

Repeating events come back with their edited and deleted occurrences. A single deleted occurrence of a repeating event can be restored on its own.

Calendar access

The app needs Calendar access with full access. If you turned it down, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars and turn on Calendar Restore.

Snapshots

Every few hours, whenever something changed, the app saves a snapshot of your calendars. You can also take one any time in Settings → Snapshots → Take Snapshot Now. Snapshots are kept for up to two years: every one for a month, then one a week, then one a month.

If snapshots stop being taken, check Settings → Snapshots. If macOS is holding the background helper back, allow Calendar Restore under System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions.

iCloud

Turn on Keep snapshots in iCloud in Settings → iCloud to keep copies in your iCloud account. They survive if your Mac is lost or replaced, and snapshots from your other Macs show up on the timeline. iCloud Drive must be turned on in System Settings → Apple Account → iCloud.

What can't be restored

macOS doesn't let apps add invitees, so an invitation comes back as your own event without its attendees. Attachments aren't restored.
