Top 5 Google Calendar Extensions to Boost Your Productivity in 2025
Your calendar is your fortress of productivity. But even the best fortress needs a few good guards. Google Calendar is powerful on its own, but with the right Chrome extensions, it can become an unstoppable organizational machine. We've reviewed the best of the best to help you save time, reduce errors, and stay on top of your schedule.
1. Checker Plus for Google Calendar
Best for: At-a-glance visibility and notifications.
Checker Plus is a classic for a reason. It gives you a dropdown view of your calendar directly from your browser toolbar. You can see your upcoming events, get desktop notifications, and even add new events using natural language without ever opening a new tab. It's the perfect tool for quickly checking your schedule.
2. Todoist for Google Calendar
Best for: Unifying your tasks and events.
If you live by your to-do list, this is a must-have. The Todoist extension allows for a two-way sync between your tasks and your calendar. Create a task in Todoist, and it appears on your calendar. Create an event on your calendar, and it appears in Todoist. It masterfully bridges the gap between what you have to do and when you have to do it.
3. Meeter
Best for: People who live in video meetings.
Meeter's goal is simple: get you into your next virtual meeting with one click. It pulls all the meeting links from your calendar events (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, etc.) into a single, clean dropdown menu. It shows your next meeting, a countdown, and a big "Join" button. It's a small utility that saves a surprising amount of time and hassle.
4. GCalToolkit
Best for: The ultimate power user.
This isn't for the faint of heart. GCalToolkit is a robust tool that lets you perform bulk operations on your calendar that are otherwise impossible. Need to delete a thousand duplicate events, copy events to another calendar, or bulk-edit event details? This is your tool. It's less of a daily-use extension and more of a specialized repair kit for when your calendar gets messy.
5. Text to Calendar (That's us!)
Best for: Capturing events from outside your calendar.
While the other extensions on this list help you manage events once they're in your calendar, our extension solves the problem of getting them there in the first place. Event details are scattered everywhere: emails, Slack messages, project tickets, news articles. Text to Calendar uses AI to instantly turn any highlighted text on any webpage into a perfectly formatted calendar event. It eliminates the error-prone process of copy-pasting details one by one.
If your main scheduling bottleneck is manual data entry, then Text to Calendar is the fastest solution you'll find.
