GCalPlus Chrome extension

GCalPlus layers extra display and navigation options onto Google Calendar's existing web interface. It's best for people who use Google Calendar daily and want small usability tweaks rather than a new calendar app. The catch: it only enhances Google Calendar, so it's useless without a Google account and the standard Calendar site open.

What GCalPlus does

GCalPlus runs on top of Google Calendar's web interface, adding extra display and navigation options that aren't part of the default Calendar experience. It doesn't replace Google Calendar or store your events elsewhere; it modifies how the existing page looks and behaves while you use it.

GCalPlus free vs paid

GCalPlus is listed as a free extension on the Chrome Web Store, with no separate paid tier described. Its added options are available immediately after installation without an upgrade path.

Is GCalPlus safe?

Because it modifies the Google Calendar page directly, GCalPlus needs permission to read and change content on calendar.google.com. This access is what allows it to add its extra options, and is typical for extensions that customize a specific web app's interface.
