## Description

importICS is a Chrome extension designed to accelerate the process of importing .ics calendar files into Google Calendar. When you download an .ics file, importICS detects this action and automatically opens the Google Calendar settings page, allowing you to manually import events quickly without searching through menus. While full automation of .ics imports requires a dedicated app and isn't possible within this extension, importICS streamlines the workflow to save you time and hassle.

Currently in development, importICS aims to enhance your calendar management experience by simplifying event imports from downloaded calendar files. It's a simple yet effective tool for users frequently working with .ics files who want a faster way to add events to their Google Calendar.
