ProposeTimes
Stop typing out your availability. Drag it.
ProposeTimes is a free Chrome extension that helps you propose meeting times from Google Calendar. Drag the times you're free, and it generates clean, timezone-aware text ready to paste into any email or chat — with optional hold events on your calendar.
Add to Chrome — it's free
ProposeTimes works with your existing Google Calendar. No new app to learn.
Drag, don't type
Select as many time blocks as you like, across the whole week — resize, move, or delete them like real events.
Timezone-proof
Send times in the recipient's timezone by picking their city. Daylight saving is computed for the actual dates.
Holds, optionally
One click adds matching hold events on your calendar so you never double-book — and one click undoes them all.
Your words, your format
Customize the intro line, date and time formats, and timezone labels. Your preferences are saved as defaults.
Private by design
No servers, no accounts, no tracking. Everything stays between your browser and Google.
Lives in your calendar
Works right inside Google Calendar's Day, Week, 4-day, and custom views. No new app to learn.
Frequently asked questions
What is ProposeTimes?
ProposeTimes is a free Chrome extension that adds a drag-to-propose tool to Google Calendar. You drag the time blocks you're free, and it generates clean, timezone-aware text you can paste into any email or chat.
How is this different from Calendly or scheduling links?
There's no link for the other person to click and no booking page. You stay in your own calendar, pick times visually, and send plain text — the most universal, friction-free format there is.
Does it handle timezones and daylight saving time?
Yes. Pick the recipient's city or timezone and the text is generated in their local time, with DST transitions computed correctly for the actual dates you propose.
What are holds?
Optionally, ProposeTimes can create matching "hold" events on your calendar for the times you proposed, so you don't double-book while waiting for a reply. You can undo them in one click.
Does ProposeTimes see or store my calendar data?
Your data stays between your browser and Google. Sign-in uses Google's own consent flow, holds are created directly via the Google Calendar API, and settings are stored locally in your browser. There's no ProposeTimes server.
Which calendar views does it work in?
Day, Week, 4-day, and custom multi-day views on calendar.google.com. Month, Schedule, and Year views aren't supported for drag-selection.
