Daykite
Chrome extension

Your calendar, on every page.

Most of what ends up in a calendar starts somewhere else — an email, a booking page, a message. DayKite for Chrome turns what's already on the screen into an event, a task or a reminder, and answers questions about your day without you leaving the tab.

How to install itNot on the Chrome Web Store yet
What it does

Four things, and no menus to learn.

Select text, get an event

“Let's meet Tuesday at 3pm” in an email, “drinks on the 14th” on a page. Right-click, choose DayKite, and it reads the date and time, checks you're free, and shows you what it would add.

Ask about your day from any tab

What's next, when you're free on Thursday, move the review an hour later. The same assistant as the app, in a side panel that doesn't take the page away.

The page you're reading, as context

In Gmail: “turn this into a task”, “when could we meet about this?”. The tab you're on rides along with your message, shown as a chip you can remove.

Nothing happens behind your back

Every change arrives as a card with Confirm and Cancel. The assistant proposes; you decide. Reading a page needs your permission for that site, once.

Getting started

Three steps, once.

1

Build it and load it

It isn't on the Chrome Web Store yet, so it's built from the DayKite code and loaded into Chrome yourself — the guide has each step.

2

Sign in from the panel

Click the kite, choose Sign in or Create a free account. DayKite opens in a tab, connects the extension itself, and closes again. A pairing code works too, for your own server.

3

Use it anywhere

⌘⇧K (Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows and Linux) opens the panel on whatever you're reading. Select text first to act on it.

It needs a DayKite account — free for one person — or your own DayKite server.

What it can see

A calendar assistant that reads pages should say which ones.

The tab you're onIts address and main text are sent only when you send a message, and only for the tab shown in the chip above the box. Remove the chip and nothing goes.
Sites you allowReading a page asks Chrome for permission for that site, once. Until you allow it, DayKite can see nothing on it.
Your DayKite accountThe extension signs in like any other device, and appears under Settings → Chrome extension. Disconnect it there and it's over.
Nothing elseNo browsing history, no other tabs, no analytics inside the extension, and nothing stored on our side beyond the conversation you can delete.

The whole picture is in the privacy policy and what the assistant keeps.

Already have DayKite?

Connect it from Settings → Chrome extension.

That page makes a pairing code, shows whether the extension is connected, and disconnects it again. If you run DayKite yourself, the extension can point at your own address.
