Calendar Clarity

Color-code Google Calendar with unlimited colors that sync to your phone, group your labels, dim the noise, and focus with a timer.

Calm a cluttered Google Calendar. Dim the events that don't matter, color-code your week with AI, and drop into a focus session with breathing, guided meditation, and ambient sound — all without leaving Google Calendar. 🌟✨ KEY FEATURES ✨🌟 🌫️ Event Visibility: Dim the events that don't matter — declined meetings, all-day clutter, low-priority blocks — so the day you actually care about stands out at a glance. 🧘 Focus Sessions: Start a focus timer from any event, then settle in with a guided breathing pacer (Box, Coherent, Calm, and 4·7·8), a guided meditation that scales to your session, and calming ambient soundscapes (Rain, Ocean, Café, Pink noise, Brown noise) — or bring your own Spotify playlist. Includes focus-mode dimming, gentle completion chimes, optional break suggestions, and session history. 🤖 AI Color Generation: Describe your life in a sentence — "freelance designer who teaches yoga on weekends" — and get a tailored set of color categories in seconds. Or generate straight from the events already on your calendar. No setup, no guesswork. 🎨 Meaningful Color Organization: Give every calendar color a purpose and a name so your whole week reads at a glance — Critical, Learning, Finances, Deep Work, whatever fits your life. 🖌️ Custom Color Groups: Go beyond Google's default palette. Build your own color groups that appear right in the event color picker, each with a custom shade and label. 🔍 Eyedropper Tool: Pick any color from your screen to use in your custom palette. 🧩 Templates for Easy Setup: Pre-made templates including Time Blocking, Priority, Energy Levels, Schedule Type, Projects, Focus Mode, Mood, and Value. 🔄 Reset and Disable Options: Clear all custom colors or disable them to use only categorization with Google's default colors. ⚠️🚨 GOOD TO KNOW 🚨⚠️ 🛠️ Depends on Google Calendar's layout: This extension works alongside Google Calendar's current layout. Changes by Google may temporarily affect features — if something looks off, reach out at ali@humanquest.net or visit https://humanquest.net and we'll fix it fast. 💻 Works in Chrome on your computer: Calendar Clarity is a desktop Chrome extension. 🖌️ Changes apply to existing events: New events need to be saved first before colors can be applied. 🙏 Completely free: This extension is free.
