Create Google Calendar events from any webpage — select text or describe your event in plain English. Smart Calendar lets you create Google Calendar events and Google Tasks in seconds — directly from any webpage. ────────────────────────────────────── TWO WAYS TO USE IT ────────────────────────────────────── 📌 Right-click any text — select a date, event description, or reminder on any webpage, right-click, and choose "Create Calendar event." Smart Calendar reads the selected text, extracts the date and time, and opens a quick-add panel pre-filled with the details. 🗓 Click the toolbar icon — describe your event in plain English ("Team lunch next Friday at noon at Tartine") and let the parser fill in the fields automatically. ────────────────────────────────────── THREE EVENT TYPES ────────────────────────────────────── ⏰ Timed event — with date, time, and duration 📅 All-day event — for holidays, deadlines, and multi-day events ✓ Task — creates a Google Task with a due date and optional time, visible in Google Calendar's Tasks panel ────────────────────────────────────── RICH TEXT NOTES ────────────────────────────────────── Paste any webpage content directly into the Notes field and embedded links are preserved exactly as they appear on the page. When you open the created event in Google Calendar, links are clickable. When using the right-click menu, the Notes field is also automatically pre-filled with the text you selected. ────────────────────────────────────── SMART TITLE GENERATION (OPTIONAL) ────────────────────────────────────── Add your own Claude API key in the extension settings to get AI-generated event titles that intelligently summarise the selected text — stripping out dates, times, and platform names to produce a clean, meaningful title (e.g. "Virtual Parent Info Meeting" from a block of school-newsletter text). The extension works fully without an API key using a built-in parser. If the AI call fails (e.g. insufficient credits), a clear error message is shown and the built-in parser is used automatically. ────────────────────────────────────── PRIVACY-FIRST ────────────────────────────────────── • Your Google account is accessed only to create events and tasks on your behalf — no data is stored by this extension • Your optional Claude API key is stored only in your browser and never sent to the extension developer • Selected text is only sent to Anthropic's API if you have added your own API key — entirely opt-in and removable at any time ────────────────────────────────────── PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED ────────────────────────────────────── • identity — to sign you into Google and create Calendar events and Tasks on your behalf • contextMenus — to add the right-click "Create Calendar event" option • storage — to save your optional Claude API key locally in your browser • googleapis.com / tasks.googleapis.com — to create events in Google Calendar and tasks in Google Tasks • api.anthropic.com — only contacted when you have added your own Claude API key, to generate smarter event titles from selected text --- What's new in v1.0.5 This update adds major new features since the original release: • Google Tasks support — create tasks with due dates directly from selected text or the toolbar popup, in addition to calendar events • Three event types — choose between Timed event, All-day, or Task using the new type selector; fields update automatically for each mode • Rich text Notes — paste content from any webpage into the Notes field and links appear as clickable hyperlinks when you open the event in Google Calendar • Notes auto-fill — when using the right-click menu, the Notes field is automatically pre-filled with the text you selected • Optional AI-powered titles — add your own Claude API key in settings to get smarter, context-aware event titles from highlighted text; the extension works fully without one • Clearer error messages — if AI title generation fails, a specific error is shown below the title field so you always know what happened • Bug fixes and reliability improvements throughout
