time-care-to-calendar

Chrome extension that exports your Time Care schedule as an .ics calendar file.

• Auto-detects new codes and adds them to the config as unassigned
• Week filter — select which weeks to include in the export
• Shift stats — see a frequency breakdown per shift type
• Total hours summary

• Conflict detection — overlapping shifts are highlighted
• Copy as text — paste your schedule into chat or email
• Auto-detect Time Care pages — badge indicator when on a schedule page
• Keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+R / Ctrl+Shift+R)
• Deterministic event UIDs prevent duplicates on re-import
