Each color in the group can be customized with a unique color and label. ⏱️ Focus Timer: Start a productivity timer directly from any calendar event.

Changes by Google may temporarily break features. If this happens, reach out via email: ali@humanquest.net or visit: https://humanquest.net 💻 Desktop-Only: Chrome extensions don't work on mobile. For mobile, use Google's core colors. 🖌️ Changes Apply to Existing Events Only: New events need to be saved first before colors can be applied. 🙏 Free Extension: This is completely free. Please reach out with issues rather than leaving a negative review. 📋 VERSION UPDATES 📋 🆕 v0.2.3 - Storage & Color Reliability • Fixed custom colors reverting on page refresh — The local storage fallback now correctly reads chunked data, so your colors persist even when sync storage is temporarily unavailable. • Fixed potential infinite loop in storage sync — When Chrome's sync state changes (e.g. signing in/out), the extension no longer risks getting stuck in a recursive loop. • Fixed event viewer dialog coloring — The event detail popup no longer gets incorrectly painted with the event's custom color; only the color dot indicator is updated. v0.2.2 - Storage Health Warnings • Storage Health Warnings - Get notified when storage is running low, blocked, or when using incognito mode.
