Adaptive panes
InstaCal uses the width available rather than stretching the iPhone layout. A wide iPad can show the agenda, active calendar view and selected event inspector together. In narrower Split View sizes, panes collapse into navigation that keeps the same content reachable.
Work across the panes
Select a day or event in the agenda to update the calendar and inspector. Select an event in the calendar to inspect it without losing the surrounding schedule. Edit supported fields in the inspector or open the full editor for every option.
The sidebar and inspector can be shown or hidden when you want more space for Day, Week or Month.
Multitasking and orientation
InstaCal responds to Stage Manager, Split View and rotation. Week expands from a rolling portrait layout toward a full week when space permits. The calendar retains the selected date and view while the window size changes.
Week and Day page under a swipe rather than scrolling continuously, and Quarter draws its months as cards that survive a rotation.
Keyboard and pointer
Hardware keyboards and trackpads use standard iPad interactions. Arrow and command-key behaviors appear where the current focus and view support them, while drag and resize remain available with touch or pointer.
The menu bar’s View menu switches views from the keyboard: Command-1 Day, Command-2 Week, Command-3 Month, Command-4 Quarter, Command-5 Year and Command-6 Agenda, with Command-7 for Week on Week once it is turned on. The same menu holds Smart Filters, one row per saved filter, and Clear Smart Filter.
Tip: If the interface feels crowded in a narrow window, hide the inspector first. The selected event remains available when you open details again.
