What it does
Google Calendar only gives you 11 colors. If you're juggling work, personal, side projects, and kids' schedules, that's not enough. PaintCal adds a color picker directly in Google Calendar. Click any event, pick any hex color, done. Works with recurring events too. Why free? I run FriendFilter and GroupFilter (120K+ users). PaintCal started as a personal itch, I wanted more colors. Figured others did too. No account, no data collection, no catch.

nocal for Google Calendar2025 · nocal.app · ▲164I've always wanted to build a calendar client, and so a little over a year ago I started to build nocal. For the most part, calendars are all the same — even contemporary calendars like CRON were just polished skins on the same old experience. There's been near-zero real innovation in years. They tell you what to do, but never help you do it. They're noisy, rigid, and often anxiety-inducing. I set out to build a calendar that focuses on the important things, and keeps the noise tucked away, and helps you be productive. nocal has a concept of weekly notes, which serve as a scratchpad for…
