⚙️ How It Works ⚙️
Method 1 - Calendar Creation: When creating new tasks in Google Calendar view, use the built-in time picker to set start and end times. The extension automatically calculates and displays the appropriate duration.
Method 2 - Title Duration: Add duration directly to task titles using parentheses format (e.g., "Team Meeting(1h)" or "Project Review(2.5h)"). The extension parses this information and adjusts the visual display accordingly.
Method 3 - Right-Click Menu: Create tasks via the right-menu by Right Clicking on any webpage, and selecting "Add to Tasks". You can then provide all the necessary information, and a task will be created in the linked Google Account, and in the list of your choice.

- (2025-03-19) Andres Arosemena: Great extension! I would love to be able to change the duration with handles on the calendar, being able to expand and contract it like we can do with events.
- (2025-02-07) Laura: Works great, 5 stars if all day events would not be extended based on size in brackets. That support replan & would allow a "parking spot" until the exact time to action on it is finalized
- (2025-01-07) Audric Serador: this is awesome. i would love to contribute to this, feel free to send me a dm on twitter (@audricciel)
- (2024-12-12) Felix M. Barth: Great! But: The text of a task is correctly oriented at the top of each task – within the houres. Pretty correct. But if you define a task as "all day" (ganztags). (Maybe you know, what day to do something, but not, in which hour.) The task is correctly shown in the top, gets its needed height (One could overthink this, at the all-day-top!), but the text is oriented centered (not top). Thus the text is hidden behind the next all-day-calendar-entry, as the other entries just do not know about other entries bigger height, obviously. I don't know, why the text is oriented centered. Can you change it, to being oriented at the top, like it is at tasks down in the hours? (Or you define, that a all-day-task keeps the normal height like all other normal all-day-entries have.) Second thought: This does not help at the android calendar app, of course, as this is a chrome extension ... :-)
- (2024-11-06) Hasanboy Karimjonov: working, I am using it on opera browser but it is working without bugs. you need to write it like this: work-out (30m)
- (2024-10-11) Gabriel Sarateanu: It actually works! Thank you ;)
- (2024-10-05) Sonji Slade: Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Super easy and very helpful. *Note to Others: After installing the extension, you might need to refresh/reload your calendar. I was adding the time duration at the end (e.g." Send Follow-Up Email (15m) ") but the task size wouldn't adjust. I exited Google Calendar and reopened it and ta da! That original task resized and now when I create more tasks they resize as soon as I save them.
- (2024-10-04) Jordan Hooftman: Great!!!!! it really helped me a lot with planning out my meetings and tasks <3
- (2024-09-12) Dominic Devine: Tried it several times and it won't work. A shame as it would be great if it did.
