Google Calendar integration for streamlined time tracking

Events become time entries

Chrono interprets your calendar events to create categorized time entries automatically.

Smart categorization

Create keywords to improve automatic categorization of events over time. Chrono gets smarter as you use it.

No more manual timesheets

Just link your calendars and receive pre-filled timesheets every day. No manual entry required.

Works even better together. Add Jira or Asana to see how project work and meeting time balance across your team.

How Google Calendar data supports SR&ED claims

SR&ED claims require contemporaneous records showing how your team's time was spent on qualifying R&D activities. Data from Google Calendar — captured and categorized by Chrono — becomes that record. The CRA accepts time logs derived from project management and collaboration tools as supporting documentation, provided they're organized by project, activity, and date. Chrono does that organization automatically, so your Google Calendar activity feeds directly into audit-ready SR&ED documentation.

Common questions about the Google Calendar integration

Do I need to install anything to connect Google Calendar?

Nothing to install. The connection uses OAuth authorization — you grant Chrono read access through Google Calendar's own permissions dialog. Your credentials never pass through Chrono's servers.

Does the Google Calendar integration change how my team works?

No. Your team keeps using Google Calendar exactly as they do now. Chrono reads activity data in the background and builds timesheets from it. No new tools, no new habits required.

How quickly does Chrono start generating timesheets after I connect Google Calendar?

Chrono begins capturing data the day you connect. Most teams see their first timesheets within 24 hours. The integration becomes more accurate over the first few days as Chrono builds a pattern of your team's activity.

Is the Google Calendar integration included in the free plan?

Yes. All integrations are included in Chrono's free plan. There's no limit on the number of tools you connect, and no integration costs extra.
