Better Google Calendar

Quick-add events in plain words, templates, free-times text, hour totals, shading, dimming, .ics drop/paste. No account access.

Better Google Calendar adds the small things people keep asking Google for, without ever asking for access to your Google account: everything works inside the page or through Google's own URLs. • Quick add in plain words: press q and type "Lunch with ana@x.com tomorrow 1-2pm at Bar Lobo every friday" (English and Spanish). Google's own "new event" form opens pre-filled. Repeat rules Google's dialog cannot express (last day of month, last Friday, 2nd Tuesday, quarterly) are one click away. • Right-click any selected text on any page: "Add … to Google Calendar". • Event templates: save "Shift 2 at 14:00 for 8 hours at Plant B" once, then click the chip and type a day. • Drop or paste .ics files: one event opens the form, several show a list with "Open to add". • Command palette (Ctrl+K): find buried settings by plain words ("declined", "invitations", "meet", "week starts"), jump to any date ("14 nov", "next friday"), switch views, search. • Working-hours shading, weekend/holiday/today colours, start the day at your first working hour. • Dim past events, fade declined ones. • Hours total per colour for the visible week (time tracking without a separate app). • Now bar: time left in the current meeting, countdown to the next one, one-click Join. • Share my free times: the free gaps of the visible week as copy-paste text, no booking link needed. • Export: copy the visible events as text/Markdown/CSV, download them as .ics, export one event from its details popover. • Declutter and print: readable printing, compact density, hide illustrations, Meet buttons and promos. Privacy: no server, no analytics, no Google account access. Features that read your events only look at what is already drawn on your screen, inside your browser.
