Olli.

You could check the content of folder ~/Library/Calendars and see if that makes any sense to you.

Re: macOS Reminders and Calendars database
Thank you for the link to the video. I have also found a method in python. I'll see whether and how an applescrip; however, I have had never success in executing an applescript out of livecode in the past. It just never worked, and I was never sure what went wrong ...
