    Freemium Productivity

Remote teams rely on the browser for almost everything: shared logins, video updates, quick task capture and focus during long stretches without an office around them. A small set of extensions covers password sharing, recorded updates, distraction-free work and lightweight task management, all without adding new desktop apps to install and maintain.

Share logins securely across a team

Bitwarden lets a team store and share passwords in organized vaults, so members can access shared tools without passwords being emailed or typed into chat. 1Password offers a similar shared vault approach aimed at teams and families, with a paid plan built around team administration and permissions.

Record quick updates instead of scheduling calls

Loom records your screen and camera together and produces a shareable link right away, which suits async updates across time zones. A remote team member can record a two-minute walkthrough of a bug or a design instead of waiting for everyone to be online at the same time.

Stay focused and organized during solo work

Momentum replaces the new tab page with a calm view showing a focus for the day and a simple to-do list, which helps remote workers start a session with intent. Todoist adds tasks from any webpage into a shared to-do list, useful for quickly capturing something without breaking focus.
