WorkShade — Shade Off-Hours & Weekends on Google Calendar

Description

Shades non-working hours and weekends on Google Calendar. Configurable, instant, fully private — no account needed. See your work hours at a glance. WorkShade dims the time slots before and after your work hours -- and the whole weekend, if you want -- directly on Google Calendar's week and day views. No more squinting at a wall of identical white columns to find where your actual workday sits. Set your hours once and every open Google Calendar tab updates instantly, with the shading following you across every device you're signed into. HOW IT WORKS WorkShade reads the position and size of Google Calendar's own time grid in your browser and draws a lightweight overlay on top of it -- nothing about your calendar's content is touched. The overlay recalculates automatically whenever you scroll, resize, switch views, or change a setting, so it always lines up with the grid. FEATURES - Off-hours shading -- dims time slots before your work start and after your work end - Weekend shading -- dims Saturday and Sunday columns in week view - Fully configurable -- set your own work hours down to the minute - Adjustable intensity -- slide from a subtle tint to a strong overlay - Instant everywhere -- changes apply to every open Google Calendar tab immediately - Completely free -- every feature above, no paywall, no trial, no upsell WORKS EVERYWHERE GOOGLE CALENDAR DOES WorkShade runs as a lightweight content script on calendar.google.com and works in any Chromium-based browser -- Chrome, Edge, and Brave included. It shades the Week and Day views where the time grid is visible; Month view weekend shading is partially supported via column-header detection. PRIVACY WorkShade never reads, stores, or transmits your calendar content -- no event titles, times, attendees, or locations. The only things it stores are your own display preferences (work hours, which shading is on, and intensity), saved locally via Chrome's built-in sync storage. The only network requests it ever makes are two narrow, user-initiated cases: submitting the popup's optional "Report an issue" form, and the feedback page your browser opens on uninstall. Normal shading behavior makes zero network requests. Full details in the linked privacy policy. PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED - storage -- saves your display preferences locally (and syncs them via your own browser account, if enabled) - Access to calendar.google.com -- lets the extension draw the shading overlay on the calendar page WorkShade is an independent browser extension and isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google.
