Google Calendar AutoHide Toolbars

More events. Less toolbar.

Google Calendar AutoHide Toolbars automatically hides the top and left toolbars in Google Calendar, giving you more space to view your events. Toolbars appear only when you hover over their respective areas, keeping the interface clean and distraction-free.

Key features include easy toolbar activation via hovering, support for native and third-party dark modes, and handy keyboard shortcuts like "/" to quickly access search without a mouse. Recent updates improved compatibility with dark themes, Search, Settings, and introduced Manifest Version 3 support. This extension streamlines your Google Calendar experience by minimizing clutter while keeping essential controls accessible when needed.

User reviews

Users appreciate the Google Calendar AutoHide Toolbars extension for decluttering the calendar interface, improving focus, and increasing screen space, which enhances productivity. It works well on multiple browsers and has been maintained to support updated Google Calendar versions. However, multiple users report issues such as hidden event title and save buttons during editing, toolbar overlaps that obscure calendar details, lack of customization for hidden elements, and occasional performance slowdowns. Some essential functions become harder to access, leading users to desire more control and fixes for these usability problems.
Pros
  • Improves productivity by simplifying the Google Calendar interface.
  • Effectively hides toolbars to provide a cleaner, minimalist display and more screen space.
  • Works well across multiple browsers including Chrome and Edge Chromium.
  • Enables focus on calendar events and reminders by eliminating distractions.
  • The extension has been updated to work with the new Google Calendar format, maintaining long-term usability.
Cons
  • The extension sometimes hides important interface elements, such as the event title and save button during event creation, making editing difficult.
  • The drop-down toolbar or sidebar can overlap or cover dates and other calendar details, reducing visibility.
  • There is no option to customize what toolbars or elements get hidden, limiting user control.
  • The extension can slow down event editing, impacting performance.
  • Certain calendar functions and buttons (like calendar mode selectors and settings) become inaccessible due to hidden toolbars.

Is it just me? The drop down toolbar covers the dates. I can't see the month and the dates at the same time.
