What Checker Plus for Google Calendar does
Checker Plus for Google Calendar sits in your toolbar and shows upcoming events, sends desktop and voice reminders, and lets you add events without opening the full Google Calendar page. You can type events in plain language, pull them from Gmail or web pages with a right-click, or use the Chrome address bar with the keyword "cal" to search and add quickly.
Checker Plus for Google Calendar features
Beyond notifications, the extension offers several popup views (month, week, day, agenda, year), drag-and-drop event editing, offline reminders when you're not connected, and support for Google Tasks and the Chrome side panel. The developer notes that additional features are available for users who contribute financially to the project.
Is Checker Plus for Google Calendar safe?
Since it needs to read and manage your Google Calendar to show events and create reminders, it requires access to your Google account's calendar data. It integrates with Gmail and web pages only when you explicitly right-click to add content, rather than reading pages automatically.
