Todoist Chrome extension

Todoist for Chrome lets you turn any page, article or selected text into a task without leaving your browser. It's best for people who already use Todoist and want a faster way to capture tasks while browsing. The catch: the extension itself is free, but Todoist's paid plans are needed for advanced project features.

What Todoist for Chrome does

The extension adds a Quick Add button and right-click options so you can turn a webpage, article or highlighted text into a task without switching away from what you're reading. Tasks sync with your main Todoist account, so anything captured in the browser shows up in the Todoist app on your phone or desktop, organized by list, board or calendar view.

Todoist free vs paid

The extension is free to install and connects to any Todoist account, including the free plan. Todoist's paid tiers add features like reminders, more filters, and larger team collaboration tools within the main app; the browser extension's core job of capturing tasks works the same regardless of which plan you're on.

Is Todoist for Chrome safe?

The listing states it handles personally identifiable information and website content, since it needs to read the page you're saving and know your account details to sync tasks. The developer says this data isn't sold to third parties or used for anything unrelated to the extension's core function of capturing and syncing tasks.
