When’s the last time you had a meeting at 3am? Empty hours are irrelevant and waste space on your screen. This extension lets you minimize the range of hours in the morning on your Google Calendar, so you only see the title of events during those hours.
How does it work?
1. Click “Add to Chrome” to install the extension for free from the official Chrome Web Store.
2. Reload or open your Google Calendar in Chrome: https://www.google.com/calendar
3. In the Day/Week/3 or 7 days view, you will notice a new small gray handle at the top of the times on the left. Drag it down to hide morning hours.
If you want to show those hours again, simply click the gray hidden hours at the top of the times on the left.
Who is it for?
When you use your calendar for work or school, you can set a range of working hours in the day that fits your schedule and remove the unnecessary white space during the times you’re out of office or sleeping.
This extension currently works if the language of Google Calendar is set to English (US). Support for more languages coming soon.

Це працює!!! Чудово!
This works well to get rid of all the wasted space before my workday starts. I will give five stars if we can also hide ‘evening hours’, using a similar slider mechanism. Ideally I’d like to see my active working hours expand to fill my viewport. As it currently works, the inactive morning hours are hidden, but over half of my screen is filled with empty white space.
Works great, on Chrome as well as on Edge (Version 88).
I do lament that it only handles mornings. Would love to do the evenings as well, but I suppose there’s a technical reason that the dev can’t or won’t. I certainly appreciate it for what it does. Thanks.
It doesn’t work at all
Based on the reviews I could really use this extension. Was disappointed it doesn’t support Hebrew.
I use a rolling 5 day view mostly, works perfectly. Thanks!
This is a good start, though I find myself not using it because it takes a bit too much screen space (sized like an hour time slot, 2 rows). Even though it has two rows taken up, if there are two events inside that time interval, the text display still only consumes one row and says “2 events” versus the actual name of the two events, but for one event you get the name of the actual event. So there is no value to the top row beside “midnight”. My suggestion is to tweak this tool to be one row high only, by eliminating the “midnight” row which is wasted space.
My second suggestion is to have a way to snap this view open and back to its previous view without having to drag each time. That would allow a peek at earlier events as needed and back to the user setting without redoing drag and drop each time.
Thx
I had to read the reviews to find out how to use this extension. But once I figured out to look for the subtle gray bar and drag it to where I want to start my day, it works perfectly!
It worked perfectly! Thanks a lot!
Waste fo time. It does not work anymore, even after setting the language to English (US). Got an annoying advert for bedtime coach instead. Google, please take this off!
As mentioned before, would be nice to hide the evening hours as well.
Also, this does not work on the “sidebar” calendar that is available in Gmail/Drive.
Those two additions would make it perfect.
How do I hide a certain period of time (03:00 A.M. to 09:00A.M for instance) instead of hiding time from midnight only?
Hey thanks, this works great – one piece of feedback is just when you collapse the left side bar to make the calendar full screen, the vertical lines in the greyed-out section no longer match up with the rest of the calendar/ they’re shifted a bit too far to the left, but otherwise everything’s all good!
Thanks a lot!
Doesn’t work at all.
This is the closest thing I could find to an appropriately compact weekly view for google calendar.
Excellent plugin!
Though there’s currently a layout alignment bug in Week/Day View if the Google sidebar isn’t showing (toggle hamburger menu top-left).
Does what it says and simple to use! Raphael, I’m interested in this extension supporting nighttime hiding and expanding of the calendar to fill the screen so that the time blocks are larger. I am willing to help out on this effort! Let me know, thanks.
I really like the idea, and the implementation is perfect — not in the way or awkward. Unfortunately, this version looks like it’s not useful for 4K monitors. On mine, it removes the morning hours but creates and equal amount of blank space at the bottom of the calendar after midnight, which doesn’t make the viewed hours any larger. Add me to the notification list if you update it!
it’s probably my fault, but i cannot for the life of me make it stick, and it doesn’t help with the collapsed PM hours, which are all jammed up when i go to print it. is this for a display only?
Works as easily as it could: just scrolls down so that the default view would start from 9 a. m. Perfect!
Love this app. The only thing missing is the hiding of night hours.
Why does clicking on a link in an appointment go via a “Bedtime Coaching” page really briefly? Very suspicious! What is it doing? What data is it hijacking? Why is there no option to prevent it?
Not working for me.
Worked like a charm and helps me scroll less while I’m in the “week” view for google calendars.
