See what matters.
Focus on it.
Color the rest.

Yes — every feature is free, with no trial, no paywall, and no premium tier. Event visibility, the focus timer with ambient sounds, event actions, and unlimited custom color categories are all included at no cost.

No. There's no sign-up and no login. Install the extension, open Google Calendar, and it works immediately. Your settings live in your own browser.

Calendar Clarity runs entirely in your browser — there's no account and nothing to sign into, and the extension sends nothing about your calendar to us. The only outside service it talks to is Google: if you turn on Event Actions, those requests go straight from your browser to the Google Calendar API. Everything stays between you and Google.

Visibility is purely visual and never touches your events. Colors set Google's own event color (that's what lets them sync to your phone) — a color assignment only, never the title, time, guests, or description. Event Actions like duplicate, split, or reschedule do edit events, but only when you turn them on and only when you run them, always with a clear preview first.

Never. Faded events are capped so they never drop below 30% opacity. They step back so the important things stand out, but they stay fully visible and clickable — you won't miss anything.

Yes — it's built on them. You create colors in Google Calendar's own Labels dialog; Calendar Clarity names them, sorts them into groups across every calendar you use, and hides the calendar-color strip Google draws on colored events (one switch brings it back). Colors are the familiar hook; the real value is visibility and focus — dimming the noise and helping you concentrate on what is left.

Yes. Calendar Clarity uses real Google Calendar colors (native event labels) — so anything you color shows in the Google Calendar app on your phone and every device, not just this browser.

No. You choose each event's color yourself from the right-click menu, where your named groups sit one click away. Earlier previews tested automatic coloring, but it isn't part of the extension today.

It's the ability to dim the events that distract you — solo blocks, external invites, meetings you've declined, and tentative holds — so the events that need your attention stay bright. You choose which types fade, and you can turn solo events into tickable tasks.

Start a timer on any event, play a bundled ambient sound (rain, ocean, café, or soft synth), and switch on Zen mode to hide distractions. Calendar Clarity keeps your session history and streaks so you can see your focus add up over time.

Only if you want Event Actions. Dimming, the focus timer, and colors need no special permissions. Actions like duplicate and reschedule ask for calendar access at the moment you enable them — never before, and never silently.

Calendar Clarity is a Chrome extension and works in Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Arc, on desktop, with Google Calendar in the browser.

Opt-in shortcuts for reshaping your schedule: duplicate an event, split it into chunks, spread a series across days, postpone, reschedule, or extend — each with smart defaults so a few clicks do what used to take manual dragging.

No. Calendar Clarity is lightweight and runs locally in the page, applying visibility and colors as the calendar renders. There is no network round-trip and no noticeable lag.
