A little visual addon that adds special markup to tags and question marks in event names.

Latest reviews

• (2025-07-02) Tiago Braga: It works fine! I needed an addon that changes the color of tasks, so I could create different groups or priorities, but it seems there's none available anymore. Anyways, the tags and transparent visual can do part of the job. I agree that more options could be added, e.g. "!" at the end for priority tasks (could make the text bold and/or red), "-" for a strikethrough text or ";" for a different tag color (since ":" adds a tag in white).
• (2025-04-09) Phoenix Counseling: IDK if its me, but when I click on this extension a youtube video for some animated movie opens up...
• (2025-04-04) Laura Gil: It is AMAZING! Thank you! I agree with @erikthomas, would be amazing to have more indicators with the use of " ; " or " ! " and different color labels! Thank you!!!
• (2025-04-02) Vincent Evrard: HELP ! I try to understand xho this works ... and I didn't found ... Please, someone could give a concrete example of how it works ? Example : Event Name is Doctor Smith and I want to add a tag so the result is HEALTH Doctor Smith , whatever the coloror the size of HEALTH , just a tag. Could you give me a simple explanation (so i can make a simple copy/paste of your syntax to try ) ?? Thx for all
• (2025-02-21) Eric Thomas: Excellent! I love it. Suggestion: (tagged...lol) Options for some more colours for more indicators with the use of " ; " or " ! " Free tip: if you want the whole title to be tagged, just type " : " at the end of your title and type " Alt " and at the same time " 255 " on your numpad, then release the Alt key when you finish typing your numbers and you'll get a transparent character which count as a letter but doesn't appear in you title. I hope you understand my English because I'm French. Anyway, great idea and very good job, it works all the time!
• (2025-01-03) Vadim Brodsky: I was wondering how to use it - the Google or Perplexity search did not get any results
• (2024-12-20) Lucian Barligea: Great little extension, with strong visual impact and easy to use.
• (2024-12-13) Tom Brown: Works as expected!
• (2024-09-21) Diana Moura Queiroz: Is this extension even working still? I can't get it to work and there are no instructions either.

• (2024-02-28) Vincent Thierry: I was excited to try this, but sadly it does not work for me Edit: Figured out how to use it. There has to be a space behind the colon. Edit (23.02.2024): It just stopped working for me. (Also I love this Extension and hope it gets fixed soon. Will update as soon as it works again) Edit (28.02.2024): It works again, thanks for fixing it :)

• (2024-02-28) Archie Guild: This is a brilliant extension! Rely on it so much, my entire teacher planner is in calendar so it's super useful! Broke a few days ago, seems that it works when you click on an event, but it doesn't highlight as white when simply viewing your calendar, any chance of an update? EDIT: Very responsive and helpful developer EDIT 2: FIXED! Amazing, thank you dev/google for fixing what broke, 5 stars!!
• (2024-02-27) Support Team: Thank you for the quick bug fixes!! I love this extension!!
• (2024-02-27) Vincent Schmandt: I love this extension! Always fixed rapidly if a Google Calendar update breaks it. :)

• (2024-02-26) Andrew Conver: Thank you so much for this extension! I am sorry Google keeps changing things that makes it break, but I appreciate the work you have done on this.
• (2024-02-26) Matthew Jewell: Confirmed as broken in February 2024, unfortunately. :/
• (2024-02-26) Sage Bell: use to work fantastically, stopped between last week and this week. bring back the labels!
• (2024-02-26) Melanie: Used to work, now the tag has disappeared
• (2024-02-22) Amy Harrison Holt: Absolutely love this - when it stopped working today I realised how much I relied on it, visually! Please fix :(
• (2024-02-19) Simon Savage: This extension was working wonderfully 3 weeks ago, but now has stopped working. I can't figure out how to assign tags. Using standard Gmail. Please Help!!
• (2024-02-04) Natalie W: At first I was confused on how to use this . Figured it out and love it!! I couldn't find instructions, I just read the reviews. I add the words followed by a colon, example SHOPPING: Thank you!
• (2024-02-03) Mikey Shah: This my favourite Google Cal Extension and probably my favourite productivity add of all Time - It makes my events super clear and attractive. I had cause to email the developer, Simon, when the extension stopped working with a recent update (first time in about 5 years) and he replied straight away and then fixed it :) I don't get this kind of engagement from a paid software supplier! Whilst here, I read some of the other reviews. Some are having trouble making it work. I find it super simple. Event name - colon - space - description for the tag. So like this as the event name TAG: Simon Add a question mark for unconfirmed events like this: TAG: Simon? Hope this helps in some small way Thanks again Simon.
• (2024-02-01) Cindy Hu: Why is the extension only working for normal calendar events and not tasks? How can I fix this?
• (2024-02-01) Madara: Great extension but it is not working for my calendar anymore.
• (2024-02-01) Christian Chicas: I tried to make it work but there are no clear instructions. It woudln't hurt to have a visual walkthrough as to how to make this work since it is somewhat counterintuitive. I already spent too much time trying to make it work and nothing. Maybe it is outdated and no longer working.
• (2024-01-11) Franka Grubisic: Lovely, lovely add-on which I super-like because of the optional/yet-to-be-confirmed events feature that turns up in italic and transparent. I've had a seperate "pending" calendar for these types of events and this add-on made it obsolete! 😅 (thank god!) However, as I already do have a ton of multiple calendars because I wanted to color-code different categories of my life, it'd be useful to be able to turn on/off the two features independently. For example, because of my current calendar set up and so that I don't need to revamp it, I'd rather turn off the colored tag option to reduce visual clutter.
• (2023-09-11) Avern Williams: This is wonderful; thank you!!! The _only_ reason I held back from 5 stars is that it doesn't yet support multiple tags for a single calendar event *fingers crossed it's coming soon* Even with that minor inconvenience, this extension has already proven extremely helpful! For anyone stating they can't get it to work or that there are no options, try this: 1) Title your calendar like this: "tagname: xyz" where: - "tagname" is whatever label you want - your tagname is immediately followed by a colon then a space - "xyz" is the actual title of the event 2) Save your event 3) Refresh your calendar to view the changes PRO-TIP: You can even incorporate emojis as part of the tag...for example: "🎯 To-Do"

• (2023-03-07) Steve Magruder: Works well except all the tag backgrounds are white. I thought they would show with different background colors as shown in the example.

• (2022-12-21) maria cruz: on the title of the event write like so... Work: blablabla and then save and make sure you refresh if you see no change

• (2022-11-26) Sagar 02: Really useful for me. Just wish if it has more features like multiple tags for single event.
• (2022-10-28) Molly Hutt: This is a great idea, but unfortunately, the extension is unusable for people who either use colons in event titles (e.g., "Email Jackie re: starting project") or receive invitations to events that have colons in the title (e.g., "Session 1: Blah Blah Blah"). As soon as I installed it, several events within the next week suddenly had "tags" that were actually just the first chunk of the event title. It seems like this should be easy to customize. Theoretically, I might set my tag signifier to a symbol I rarely use in event titles, like ^ or \, and the problem would be solved completely. But alas, when I tried to manage my settings, I was only able to turn the extension on or off. When I tried to go to the app website, it showed only a CGI video about something unrelated. For reasons that are a mystery to me, the app also turned one of my events transparent and italicized the title, even after I removed the colon that was originally in the title. The issue didn't resolve until I turned off the app entirely. Bummer :(

• (2022-09-21) David Fuentes: Great extension! Quick tip: If you add a question mark at the end of an event, the event will become semi-transparent :)

• (2022-09-11) Felipe: Perfeito! Simples, útil e grátis. EDIT: Observei nos comentários que alguns usuários não compreenderam como a ferramenta funciona, então decidi postar alguns exemplos de como eu uso a ferramenta no meu calendario. Exemplo de como eu uso as TAGS para enfatizar o local/finalidade dos meus eventos da faculdade. AULA: Clínica Cirúrgica HOSPITAL XXX: Clínica Cirúrgia PROVA: Pediatria A outra função da extensão é o ponto de interrogação ao final do nome do evento, que ofusca levemente o evento. Eu uso essa função caso não poderei comparecer à algum evento ou se há algo a confirmar. Por exemplo, caso tenha outro compromisso no mesmo horário da aula, eu adicionarei um ponto de interrogação ao final do nome do evento da seguinte forma: AULA: Clínica Cirúrgica? https://screenrec.com/share/UOMY1u0Jva Aqui esta uma captura de tela da minha agenda, observe que segunda-feira eu coloquei o ponto de interrogação ao final do nome dos dois eventos correspondentes à aulas (verde com transparência), estou pensando em não comparecer para ficar em casa estudando (azul), pois tenho uma prova mais tarde no mesmo dia (vermelho). Faço isso ao invés de simplismente excluir o evento pois desse modo tenho controle de quais eventos não compareci,facilitando a visualização dos eventos (aulas da faculdade) que preciso recuperar posteriormente. Estes são apenas alguns exemplos de como eu uso, você deve usar a criatividade e adaptar conforme suas necessidades, com o objetivo facilitar a visualização e organização da sua Agenda. Muito obrigado ao desenvolvedor da extensão! Espero ter ajudado (:
• (2022-08-15) Nadia Olausson: Works super! Only problem: after installing, some events turn opaque and their titles turn cursive. Disappears when uninstalling, comes back after re-installing. Only affect a few events, all of which have NO tag in the title.

• (2022-08-11) Ross Jukes: I love this – but is there any way to make tags auto-colour events? E.g if I use "Social:" then it colors the event orange, whereas "Work:" colours it green.
