This is a Chrome extension that automatically opens the URL set in your calendar event as a new tab a few minutes before the start of the Google Calendar event.

  • Easy to use: Just log in with your Google account to link calendars and it's automatic.
  • Concentrate without worrying about time: The tab will automatically open 1-2 minutes before the meeting. No more worrying about the time so you don't miss the MTG. You can focus on your task, not the clock.
  • Interrupt overconcentration: Opens a new tab and brings that window to the forefront. You will never miss the MTG even if you are doing other tasks in a text editor, terminal, etc.
  • Support Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams (beta)
