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. Give every color a name and a purpose, dim the events that don't matter, reshape your week without dragging events around, and drop into a focus session — all without leaving Google Calendar. Your colors live as native Google labels, so they follow you to the Google Calendar app on your phone. 🌟✨ KEY FEATURES ✨🌟 🎨 Unlimited Colors That Sync to Your Phone: Color-code your week with any color you like — named, grouped, and yours. Because your colors are saved as native Google labels, they show up in the Google Calendar mobile app and on every device, not just your browser. No more "half my colors disappeared" — every color you create stays selectable. 🗂️ Group Your Colors: Organize your labels into meaningful groups — Work, Personal, Health, whatever fits your life — so the right color is always one click away in the event menu. 🃏 Details on Hover (optional): Hover an event to see its category name and who's attending — at a glance, without opening it. 🗓️ Event Actions — reshape your week in one click (optional): Right-click any event to change your schedule without the drag-and-drop dance: • Reschedule — move an event to a new day and time. • Postpone — push it later by a preset amount. • Extend — lengthen or shorten an event. • Duplicate — copy an event to another day. • Split — break a long block into several focused sessions that tile the original time exactly. • Spread — distribute a backlog of events across the free time in your week automatically. Event Actions make real changes to your Google Calendar and run only when you trigger them. The first time you use one, you'll sign in with Google to grant calendar access — requests go straight from your browser to Google. 🌫️ 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. 🧩 Templates for Easy Setup: Pre-made templates including Time Blocking, Priority, Energy Levels, Schedule Type, Projects, Focus Mode, Mood, and Value. 🔍 Eyedropper Tool: Pick any color from your screen to use in your palette. ⚠️🚨 GOOD TO KNOW 🚨⚠️ 📱 Colors sync through Google: Calendar Clarity runs in Chrome on your computer, but because your colors become native Google labels, they appear in the Google Calendar apps on your phone and tablet automatically. 🔐 Event Actions use your Google Calendar (optional): These features are off until you turn them on. The first time you use one, you sign in with Google to grant calendar access, and it asks only for what it needs — permission to act on your events. Those requests go directly from your browser to Google and never pass through our servers. You can revoke access anytime at myaccount.google.com/permissions. 🛠️ Works alongside Google Calendar's layout: This extension works with Google Calendar's current design. If Google changes something and a feature looks off, reach out at ali@humanquest.net or visit https://humanquest.net and we'll fix it fast. 🖌️ Changes apply to existing events: New events need to be saved first before colors can be applied. 🙏 Completely free: This extension is free. Please reach out with any issue rather than leaving a negative review — we read every message and fix things quickly. 📋 VERSION UPDATES 📋 🆕 v1.2.0 - Reshape your week without the drag-and-drop • New Event Actions — right-click any event to reschedule, postpone, extend, duplicate, split a long block into focused sessions, or spread a backlog across your free week. • Event Actions are optional and make real changes to your Google Calendar; you grant calendar access with Google's own sign-in the first time you use one, and requests go straight from your browser to Google. • Hover an event to see its category and attendees at a glance. • Cleaner disconnect — turning Event Actions off now fully revokes calendar access and updates every open tab instantly. v1.1.0 - Colors that sync to your phone • Your colors now live as native Google labels — unlimited exact colors that show in the Google Calendar mobile app and on every device. • All your colors stay in the menu — categories with many similar shades no longer collapse; every color is selectable again. • Group your labels into your own categories, and optionally show label names right on your events. v1.0.0 - Calendar Clarity • New name — Calendar Clarity.
