About Google Calendar Defaults
Stop adjusting the same time fields every time you create a meeting.
Google Calendar Defaults lets you set your own rules for new events — so every meeting starts right, ends on time, and fits how you actually work.
──────────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────────────
1. Click the extension icon to open the settings popup.
2. Set your preferred start offset, default duration, and end-time rule using the scroll wheels and dropdown.
3. Your settings are saved instantly. From now on, every new event you create on Google Calendar automatically respects your preferences — no clicks required.

FEATURES
──────────────────────────────
• Start time offset — shift new events by 0–30 minutes after the clicked slot (great for "start 5 minutes late")
• Default duration — set meetings to any length from 5 minutes to 3 hours
• End-time presets — end meetings on the hour, or 5/10/15 minutes before the hour (the "Speedy meetings" equivalent you control)
• Works on both the quick event bubble and the full event edit form
• Settings sync across all your Chrome devices via Chrome Sync
• Zero permissions beyond what's needed — only runs on calendar.google.com

PRIVACY
──────────────────────────────
This extension stores only your three preference values (start offset, duration, end-time rule) in chrome.storage.sync. No calendar data is read or stored. No data is sent to any external server.
