Duration for Google Tasks: Elevate Your Task Management Experience!

Transform the way you manage tasks in Google Calendar with Duration for Google Tasks, a simple yet powerful Chrome extension that streamlines your scheduling process. This tool automatically adjusts the height of tasks in Google Calendar based on the duration specified in your task titles, providing a clearer and more intuitive overview of your schedule.

Key Features Dynamic Task Height Adjustment: Automatically resizes task blocks according to the duration specified (e.g., 1h, 30min, 1.5h). This visual representation makes it easier to allocate your time effectively and spot overlaps in your schedule.

Clean Calendar Display: Seamlessly hides time information (e.g., 1h, 30min) from task titles in Google Calendar while preserving it in Google Tasks. This keeps your calendar visually tidy and focused on essential details.

Responsive Design: Task heights recalibrate whenever you resize your browser window, ensuring consistent visuals across all screen sizes for an optimal user experience.

How It Works To get started, simply add the duration in parentheses to your task title in Google Calendar (e.g., "Create Product Requirements Doc(1.5h)"). Duration for Google Tasks will automatically adjust the height of the task block to reflect your specified duration, making your calendar more organized and visually appealing.

User reviews

Great! But: The text of a task is correctly oriented at the top of each task – within the houres. Pretty correct. But if you define a task as "all day" (ganztags). (Maybe you know, what day to do something, but not, in which hour.) The task is correctly shown in the top, gets its needed height (One could overthink this, at the all-day-top!), but the text is oriented centered (not top). Thus the text is hidden behind the next all-day-calendar-entry, as the other entries just do not know about other entries bigger height, obviously. I don't know, why the text is oriented centered. Can you change it, to being oriented at the top, like it is at tasks down in the hours? (Or you define, that a all-day-task keeps the normal height like all other normal all-day-entries have.) Second thought: This does not help at the android calendar app, of course, as this is a chrome extension ... :-)
