Blurs Google Calendar event names to make it easier to share screenshots of your availability.

Sometimes for scheduling purposes it would be nice to be able to take a screenshot of your calendar and send it to someone, but you may not want to show that someone the names of every event on your calendar. This code and bookmarklet solves that problem by blurring out event names on your calendar.

Here is the code:

var style = document.getElementById('--style') || document.createElement('style'), // <style> element holding blur/hide rules
    spans = document.querySelectorAll('[data-eventchip] span'); // This worked as of May 3, 2023 but it may change.

// Add the styles
style.id = '--style';
style.innerHTML = trustedTypes.createPolicy('forceInner', { createHTML: (t) => t }).createHTML(`
    .--blur { -webkit-filter: blur(4px); filter: blur(4px); }
    .rsvp-no-chip.--hide, .rsvp-no-bg.--hide { opacity: 0; }
`);
document.head.appendChild(style);

// Blur active event titles
for (var i = 0, l = spans.length; i < l; i++) {
    spans[i].classList.toggle('--blur');
}

Run it once (e.g. in the browser console) to blur, then run it again to un-blur.

And here is that code as a bookmarklet:

javascript:void%20function(){var%20a=document.getElementById(%22--style%22)||document.createElement(%22style%22),b=document.querySelectorAll(%22[data-eventchip]%20span%22);a.id=%22--style%22,a.innerHTML=trustedTypes.createPolicy(%22forceInner%22,{createHTML:a=%3Ea}).createHTML(`
%20%20%20%20.--blur%20{%20-webkit-filter:%20blur(4px);%20filter:%20blur(4px);%20}
%20%20%20%20.rsvp-no-chip.--hide,%20.rsvp-no-bg.--hide%20{%20opacity:%200;%20}
`),document.head.appendChild(a);for(var%20c=0,d=b.length;c%3Cd;c++)b[c].classList.toggle(%22--blur%22)}();

This page doesn't allow linking bookmarklets, so you'll need to add the bookmarklet manually.

Hey,

the last solution by @c-harding didn't work perfectly for me - it would randomly leave only some timestamps visible in place of blurred text for some (but not all) events.
[Edit: Looking at the code once more, it's probably because I use a 12 hour clock, and \d\d?:\d\d doesn't match eg. 11am ]

Relying on you guys' work and like 10 minutes of vibecoding "I" turned this into a tampermonkey userscript.
Note that like @IceCreamYou 's version, it hides the event texts completely and doesn't show any timestamp text.

If you use a userscript manager you may find it useful.
