*******
Recent Changes:
3.0.4 New improved Busy/Free display shows busy, free or both - with a red/green button in event popups to switch quickly between busy & free.
3.0.3 "Hide Invites On Shared Calendars", "Hide Primary RSVPs for Secondary Calendar Events", "Change Calendar" directly in event popups, guest options for copy/moves and cache enhancements for better performance.
3.0.2 Multi-calendar support for all "Other Calendars", better calendar list, improved "multiple copy" window with new button in main event popup, other UI tweaks.
3.0.1 Bug fix for holiday calendars
3.0.0 This version is a major update featuring a brand new UI with “Look” and “Feel” tabs, dark mode to match Google Calendar’s new look, multi-calendar support for busy dates and descriptions that display when you hover over events, and “debug” mode to help you help me to fix bugs. This is a significant rewrite with many optimisations under the hood and a new tabbed display to allow more features to be added in the future.
2.1.3 Multi-calendar support for busy dates & hover for descriptions
2.1.1 Added option for "Minimum Time Zone"
What can GCalPlus do?
Options for the LOOK:
"Expand the Month Grid" (previously “Show More Events in Month View”): with this option you'll see at least twice as many events per day in the 'Month' view, and the entire page will scroll. For this reason, the option "Disable Month Scrolling" (in the “Feel” tab) should also be enabled.
"Highlight & Toggle Busy/Free": Connect GCalPlus to Google Calendar and enable this option to see at a glance on which days have events in your chosen calendars. This works in all month previews, not only the year view, and also adds a red/green button in event popups to quickly toggle events between Busy & Free.
"Show More All Day Events In Week/Day Views": With this option you can display twice as many All Day events in the Weekly and Daily views.
"Hide Invites On Shared Calendars": When you invite someone who has shared their calendar with you this hides the duplicate that you see on their calendar.
"Hide Primary RSVPs for Secondary Calendar Events": When people RSVP to invitations on secondary calendars their RSVP shows on your primary calendar. This option hides the "duplicate" event.
"Hide Event Illustrations": use this to remove the pictures automatically added for events with keywords in the title.
"Alphabetical All Day Events": All day events used to be grouped by calendar, then were listed alphabetically regardless of which calendar they were in... and now they are grouped by calendar again. Use this option to list all day events alphabetically again wherever possible.
"Large Dots, Small Weekday Numbers": This applies several custom styles to Google Calendar - compact day/week column headers and larger coloured bullets for timed events.
"Colour Timed Events / Timed Bars": These options allow you to change the way timed events are displayed in the Month and Year views. "Colour Timed Events" will set the text title colour to that of the calendar. "Timed Bars" will display timed events in the same way as "All Day" events, except with the time of the event. You can choose between dark and light title text, independently of the main colour scheme you use. These settings are not always applied instantly so please refresh the page if necessary.
"Weekend Background": select a color for your weekends.
Options for the "FEEL":
“Disable Month Scrolling”: With this setting Google Calendar Plus will disable annoying month scrolling which allows you to use “Expand the Month Grid” to display more events per day in the Month View.
"Use L/R Arrows": Why not use the usual left and right arrows instead of 'n' and 'p' for the next or previous day/week/month/year?
"Expand Overlapping Timed Events": when you hover over timed events in the Week or Day view this option expands the event to full width, and brings it to the front for easier viewing. When using the "Alphabetical All Day Events" option this also allows you to see the full range of multi-day events.
"Show Titles/Descriptions On Hover": When activated, this option will display a popup of the event title or description when you hover over events. Descriptions will be shown when they exist for all calendars selected in the Calendar Selector at the top of the GCalPlus window. For descriptions to be displayed GCalPlus must be connected to Google Calendar and at least one calendar selected.
"Disable Clicks on Location": This prevents Maps from opening every time you click to copy/paste the location of an event. Click the Maps icon to the left of the location text if you still want to visit Maps for the event.
“Create Events from Year Previews”. Click any day in the Year view to list the events on that day - with this option you'll also see a button labelled "Create Event" which allows you to immediately create a new event on that day. Use your browser "Back" button to return to Year View.
“Multiple Copy”: Click the "Connect" icon top-left to allow GCalPlus to access your calendars then enable the option in the “Feel” tab and GCalPlus will add a new "Multiple Copy" button to every event pop-up. You can copy/duplicate events to any writable calendar directly from any view, and you can select whether to copy guests or not in the GCalPlus options.
Copy events to the same date (duplicate the event), copy to a new date, or copy to multiple dates. Please note: repeat series will not be copied entirely, only the selected occurrence of the event will be copied. Please note: your system must use the same TimeZone setting as the Google Calendar for which you are copying events for the best results.
"Change Calendar in Event Popups": This option allows you to select a new calendar for any event that you own directly in the event popup by simply choosing a new calendar in the drop-down list you see when clicking the calendar's name. When you select a new calendar the original event is immediately deleted, a new copy is created (with or without the original guests) and the popup closed so please be careful with this option - especially if the event in question has Guests. For safety, this option is only available for single (non-repeating) events.
"First Time Zone": Select the first time zone to be displayed in every window where you can select time zones. No more endless scrolling to get to the ones you need!
"Time Range": This option allows you to hide everything before and after specified times.
******
"Debug Mode": click 3 times very quickly on the "Dark mode" icon to toggle debug mode on/off. This will display debugging logs in the Chrome Dev Tools Console that can help me solve bugs.

- (2024-04-19) Gregory Reed: UPDATE. Prevents Mouse Wheel Scrolling Month to Month I guess been like it for a while & put up with it but annoying now, Perhaps an update has/will fix but I use another ext. that does what I want Looks really good. Wish list : Change background colour of weekends Really highlight current day, not just the OEM blue dot Perhaps too much info. but would love option to display the Details on hover, is handy the full title but this would be a great addition. nice but not essential change background colour overall. (I see other ext's to do some of these things but not sure want to merge too many)
- (2024-01-04) David Porter: Update: *Oh dear, multiple copy has fallen over! Hopefully you'll have a fix v. soon... -2 stars temporarily...* Finally you have solved my biggest frustration with Google calendars - not being able to copy an event multiple times without it fitting into a regular recurring pattern! I used to have to do this on my phone using Business Calendar but this is great, thank you!
- (2023-11-29) Gregory Davis: Thank you very much for working hard to create this extension. You bring value to those who use Google Calendar.
- (2023-10-30) Ben Warheit: took a little bit of trial and error to understand some of the features but now am able to see the utility in most. I do think that when you hide nighttime hours, there should be some easy way to access those hidden hours should you need to - like something to click that expands/shows the hidden hours. If there is a way to do this, I missed it during the video perhaps, but I can't figure it out from just the menu.
- (2023-10-12) Grove Sales Ltd: Brilliant, addresses a few shortfalls of Google calendar and works well, thanks
- (2023-09-26) Mohamed Rezzag: Doesn't have the tools I need, and lacking the basic "move event to tomorrow" feature in the context menu.
- (2023-08-14) Justin Miller: Been looking for something to stop showing me the 12am-6am time frame, and this did it....except now for the popups when I schedule a new event, the buttons don't work -- Save, More Options, Discard. I have to reload the calendar page to make it go away. Please fix and I will give 5 stars, thank you!
- (2023-07-26) Mary Stone: I used to really like this extension (and will really like it again if this gets fixed!), but for the past few weeks, it's been preventing me from adding/modifying notifications to events, which is a crucial feature that I desperately need, so I'll have to keep it disabled until the issue is fixed. :(
- (2023-06-21) Michael Nguyen: Good, but noticed it has now broken my ability to create events in Google Calendar. Disabled it for now until it's fixed.
- (2023-06-21) Jessica Olivares: Really really like this extension!! I use it all the time. However, it has a pretty big bug: when you have "Show Titles on Hover" on --> you are not able to add notifications to an event --> it has promise error in the console. Other than that, it's a great addition to google calendar.
- (2023-06-15) Dayton Livingston: Pretty good for the most part. But today I noticed it's now hiding Out-Of-Office events - as in they disappear completely from the calendar. But the events still exist because they show up when I turn the extension off. Pretty annoying. I need to see them to ensure that people will know I'm out that day.
- (2023-06-12) OFF Sunil Kumar: Nothing happening when i click on 'Authorize GcalPlus' button.
- (2023-05-16) Stefania Nucifora: Ottima! Da avere! Grazie allo svilupatore!
- (2023-04-24) Andrew Ramsarran: Must have
- (2023-04-23) Kevin Wooten: Great extension and highly recommend it to others using google calendar
- (2023-02-21) Alborz Amini: Couldn't authorize the google calendar. The button didn't work.
- (2023-02-01) Bas de Vries: Pro: Very handy Con: Ruins the fit screen adaption while in Mont view So after having used the extension, switch it off!
- (2023-01-29) Mr M: I was looking for extension that show me marked events on Google Calendar in year view. This can do it but: only marked on red (no option to change size or color or no option on hover to display name of event - still talking on year view). The main bug is I need each time I open my Google calendar: reload and logon to GCalPlus (also plenty of logon pop ups shows on menu bar). This plugin is useless or too buggy.
- (2022-12-22) Rene Boileau: You just solved my Dad's problem using the Magic Mouse with Google Calendar - swiping across months was driving him crazy. Thank you kindly for creating this and making me the hero of the day! The kudos is yours!
- (2022-11-02) chris camacho: Night time hours can not be hidden. The morning one works just fine.
- (2022-10-28) Izabella: There's a very big bug in "More Month Events". We have to update the extension every time for it to run correctly. This is very unpleasant.
- (2022-08-29) Marcus Widerberg: Got to limit the hours displayed in week view to 7-23, and it does so - BUT does so by clipping the end, and it does not zoom / enlarge the calendar to the available window height. So, its not that useful for this, in my opinion. But, it does what it advertises!
- (2022-07-06) Alberto Verrilli: Thank you the stupid scroll feature was litteraly the worst thing in the world
- (2022-04-11) Aaron Lowndes: Just the fact that it reliably disabled the annoying horizontal scroll behaviour is enough. The other features are great (I'm yet to explore them fully) but that scroll was annoying!
- (2022-03-30) Siobhan Hyser: In the year view, the highlighted days are on the wrong days. I made sure I had the same calendar selected in the extension and the list. It shifted events by one day for some reason.
- (2022-03-19) Matthew Snell: AMAZING - I've been searching for something like this for months and finally found you! Simple to use, good explainer video. Does exactly what I need: expands google calendar month view so I can see all my events in one go! Well done for providing a truly useful service for other similarly frustrated GCalendar power users!
- (2022-02-08) Liesbeth Van Biesen: Lifesafer!
- (2022-01-21) Swen Larsen: Thank You!
- (2022-01-11) Madline Marbaix: I like the fact we can only show some hours, and not the 24 usual ones. Thank you!
- (2021-12-23) Jose Leal: this is crashing Edge chromium
- (2021-12-16) Rhett Sifford: This is great. Is there any way you could make it work for custom views, like a 2-week view?
- (2021-12-15) C Eller: Works great to remove morning hours (which Google won't let you do even after setting Working Hours), but it does not hide nighttime hours.
- (2021-12-10) EnglishSchool: Great extension, BUT!!! it doesn't seem to duplicate google meet conferences assigned to the events, which makes it rather useless when all your events have meetings. Or am I missing sth?
- (2021-12-09) Daniel McCammon: added extension to limit the time range in calendar, and technically works, but does not enlarge the vertical space at all and instead just 'crops' the standard display, which doesn't end up helping all that much (both ends up with empty vertical space)
- (2021-10-05) Alex Roberts: The calendar authorization login looks sketchy. If I'm logged into my google account, shouldn't I just be able to authorize the extension? Too worried to type out my user/pass out on something like this.
- (2021-05-13) Money Concepts McAllen: the ability to remove the early morning and turn off month scrolling saved our office from total madness.
- (2021-05-13) Jeffrey Miller: Honestly, there's not many features that I really care about except the ability to hide inactive hours, but that apparently doesn't work. Even if it did, the two boxes doesn't allow me to hide hours 1am-8am for example. It just x am to x pm. I don't sleep 12 hours a day. "Titles on Hover" doesn't even work for events that are combined so you're basically only showing the title on single events where you can already see the title. What's here isn't useful or doesn't work. I'm really disappointed.
- (2021-05-04) Yorgi: Worked for some time, then accidently stopped displaying all day events. I reinstalled it - didn't help.
- (2021-01-22) Alick Kio: Lets me copy an event over the span of multiple days, like my work shifts. Beautiful beautiful 10/10
- (2020-12-13) Cathy Preece: This is fantastic! Thank you so much. I use calendars a LOT! This will make organising my life so much easier.
- (2020-11-22) Ben Currer-Burgess: I got this extension for only 1 purpose: hide hours that are in the middle of the night from my calendar and it seems that option does not exist on this extension? (can't see it in the list of checkboxes on the extension)
- (2020-10-20) I'm using this because Google Calendar starts my day view at 1am, and this is the only way to change that. It's a bit slow, takes about 3-5 seconds to adjust the view, but it's the only solution available. I hope Google fixes this so I don't need an extension for it.
- (2020-10-11) Director Brillianto: very disappointed. CAme to this extension to reduce the hours the calendar displays to show relevant time of day in greater detail, but the Day Start/End: function does not work at all.
- (2020-10-09) Leala Lau: Amazing! It is working very well. I researched how to hide morning and night time and i saw the recommendation for this app. The author even dived into goggle support community to answer questions and offered help to individuals. The developer is so helpful, kind. Thanks so much.
- (2020-09-17) Crepes A la Cart: Doesn't do anything, can't get past the authorization part. Can't see a calandar. I just want a monthly calandar to pop up, how do I make that happen?
- (2020-09-11) Shira Skolnik: worked for about a day and then nothing have everything ticked the way it was before when it worked but not responding at all. I hate things that are buggy
- (2020-09-06) Vũ Trương Quang: Well i didn't see any changes even after I've authorized the extension, especially the Multiple Copy didn't show up at all, it's the feature I desperately need :(
- (2020-08-31) Adrian Parla: doesn t work anymore
- (2020-08-05) Kevin Hixson: This extension allows me to see only the working hours, make some really neat options, and is completely free. Of course, if you can afford, please donate.
- (2020-07-20) Jürgen Strauss: Doesn't work - authorize button - no response.
