My Structured Is Freezing on macOS

Edited

Recently, a few users experienced issues in terms of freezes or high CPU when using Structured on macOS. The freezes appear as soon as the Apple Calendar or Apple Reminders integration is activated. Luckily, there is a workaround to deal with this issue without losing the Calendar or Reminders integration.


Devices Up to Date?

Firstly, please ensure that your macOS and your Structured app are on the latest version. You can also try to restart your device or to reinstall the app.


Revoke Calendar / Reminders Access

In case the issue persists, there is a workaround:

  1. Open your Mac device's ⚙️ System Settings

  2. Head over to ✋ Privacy & Security

  3. Click on Calendars and / or Reminders

  4. Revoke Structured's access to Calendar and / or Reminders

  5. After revoking the access, the freezing of Structured should stop.

If you still want to integrate your calendars and to-dos into Structured, you need another Apple device. When activating the Calendar and / or Reminders sync on another device, the events and to-dos will also be displayed on your Mac device using either iCloud sync or Structured Cloud sync.
