  • (2023-10-13) Adnan Syafii: This extension improves my productivity. Thank you developer for creating this useful extension!
  • (2023-08-28) Don Gordon: Is it just me? The drop down toolbar covers the dates. I can't see the month and the dates at the same time.
  • (2023-08-10) Jakub Jagielka: great extension, thank you
  • (2023-01-11) Jonah Spear: I love this extension, there's just one issue which is a major pain for me. Whenever I'm editing an invite and the description field gets too long, the meeting title and "save" button get hidden and I can't create a meeting. I would love to give 5 if this gets fixed
  • (2022-12-15) Garage Door Service: Can you add a setting to toggle what gets hidden? I love hiding the left toolbar, but I always use the search bar and would like it to remain visible.
  • (2021-10-03) Paweł Piwek: So far it works great. Very neat and pleasant to eye.
  • (2021-07-11) Paulo Aguiar: Killer extension! helps a lot! thanks
  • (2021-05-29) Ehsan Amini: Does what it says with no fuss. Really useful. Lets you focus on the substance. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is that the CSS slightly messes up the event creation page so that the event title field gets hidden and rather hard to access. (I have to click on the start time field and reveal the field using shift+Tab to navigate to it and bring it into view, which is a nuisance.) Also it would have been nice if it let you choose whether to hide both or either the top bar and the sidebar.
  • (2021-01-26) Charlie Arehart: Worked perfectly, on Chrome and on on Edge Chromium (Version 88). Thanks so much.
  • (2019-09-11) Apisit Pansukij: Love it
  • (2019-07-11) Daisy: This was exactly what I was looking for during the past 5 years!!! This definitely solidifies my transition to Google Calendar!
  • (2019-06-20) Rafael Benavent: Does what it says it does without major problems but: 1. if you have tasks or keep on, the top sidebar will be behind tasks / keep and some functionality will not be visible (settings, search, etc.) 2. the create event button will no longer be visible
  • (2019-01-10) Andrew Haws: Doesn't work on current deployment of calendar. The sidebar does NOT hide, and the Date and Day of the week at the top overlap.
  • (2018-12-16) SOLVEALLPROBLEMS: drastically slows down editing of events when you edit an edit an event, page is drastically slowed down due to this extension
  • (2018-08-15) Csaba Balazs: Best GCal extension ever.
  • (2018-02-15) K Floyd: Thank you! More text is now available to view--it is so useful.
  • (2018-02-08) G Gg (Tripleggg): Use it daily; for years. LOVE it (this is my first review!) ... hides the useless parts so you can FOCUS on events / reminders, and move them around easily. Thanks for updating it for the new Gcal format! I was choosing the old Gcal to not give up your extension.
  • (2017-06-19) Mark Sid Tan: Works!
  • (2016-12-02) Garrett Rockey: Absolutely brilliant. Makes Google Calendar more useful on my Surface 3 because it makes more efficient use of the limited screen real estate. I wish Google had thought of this, so mega-kudos to the developer for making this. The calendar modes (day, week, month, agenda) and setup icon are not click-accessible now, so I familiarized myself with the key commands (1-5 for calendar mode, s for settings, etc.). Now I wish I had been using the key commands all along, because they are much faster and more efficient, so net GAIN in that area.
  • (2016-03-10) Simon Redgrave: Amazing! came for the Workflowy, stayed for the calendar :)
  • (2015-11-04) J.T. Brown III: Awesome! Perfect minimalist display with most important functionality accessible with a simple mouse-hover. The only thing missing is the ability to select different views (Month|Day|Week) - DEV CAN YOU PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE TOP BAR?? Otherwise, works great with chrome application windows (available on Windows PC Desktops). Thank you Dev! Please keep this great extension updated!

  • (2023-06-07, v:0.2.9) Oskar Hartman: Dark mode, but white bar
    Hi I am using DarkReader on chrome, but it does not make the bars (that activate the main menu and top bar) dark. Instead they stay basically white, which doesn't work with the dark theme. Am I missing a settings option? Is there a way to make this extension work well in dark theme as well?
  • (2020-05-14, v:0.2.5) Jerzy Potocki: It would be good to show the top bar after pressing "/" for search (and have a keyboard shortcut for showing the left pane?)
    Is there a solution for this /can you make it?
  • (2018-01-05, v:0.1.1) New Google Calendar
    Recently Google updated the calendar, it was a much needed upgrade. Your extension no longer works. Any update planned?
  • (2015-11-04, v:0.1.1) J.T. Brown III: Provide Option to Display the Calendar Name/Nav/View/Settings Buttons at the TOP of Page
    Minimalism is great, but not being able to clearly see the Name of the Month OR not having access to the calendar view/settings buttons can be a DRAWBACK at times. WHY NOT PROVIDE AN OPTION TO DISPLAY THE CALENDAR NAME/NAV/VIEW/SETTINGS BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE MAIN PAGE? (NOT IN THE AUTO-HIDING TOP BAR) This could offer the best of both worlds!! Thanks, -JT
  • (2015-11-04, v:0.1.1) J.T. Brown III: MIssing Calendar Views and Settings Buttons
    Thank you Dev for this great extension! The only obvious problem(s) are the missing buttons on the TOP BAR for selecting different calendar views (Month|Day|Week|Agenda...) the 'Today' and settings buttons - CAN YOU PLEASE ADD THESE BUTTONS (perhaps as an option) TO THE TOP AUTO-HEADER BAR?? I know it's possible to use the hotkeys but often users don't remember them. Thanks for listening (and hopefully making this change!) -JT
