| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 8.8 We found a deep Pomodoro implementation with custom work/break lengths, pause/resume, and short/long breaks that fit most workflows. Task management covers projects, priorities, tags, subtasks, and reminders without feeling bloated. Recurring tasks are flexible enough for habits and weekly routines. Historical statistics and time tracking make it easy to review where time actually went. Cross‑device sync, plus optional white noise, round out a feature set that is stronger than basic timers yet lighter than full project tools.

| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 7.8 In our use, timers and task actions were smooth and reliable. We did see user feedback about occasional sync delays or duplicates across devices. Some mobile users report higher battery usage during long sessions with sounds enabled. Large histories and detailed stats can load slowly on older hardware. Routine updates seem to address issues over time, but there’s still room to tighten efficiency further.

| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 7.4 The interface is clear and predictable: timer and task views are easy to grasp at a glance. Navigation is straightforward, and core controls are where you expect them. That said, visuals feel a bit dated, and theming options are limited, which reduces personalization. Information density on small screens can feel cramped during busy lists. The extension/widget UIs are functional, but they could benefit from a more modern polish.

| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.2 The free tier covers the essentials well for many users. Premium adds meaningful upgrades—full sync, deeper stats, cloud backup, and manual record edits—that we actually used. Lifetime pricing is compelling and compares favorably with subscription‑based competitors. Students and professionals alike can get strong mileage without overspending. Given its balance of timer, tasks, and reports, the price feels fair for the utility delivered. Winner in this category | 9.2 The free tier covers the essentials well for many users.

| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 8.4 Getting started is simple: make a task, hit start, and focus. The basics are almost frictionless, and reminders/recurring tasks make sense after a quick try. Reports, tags, and some advanced settings require a brief learning curve, but nothing overwhelming. Local mode helps you try the app without creating an account, while sync setup adds one extra step. Overall, we felt productive within minutes and refined our setup over a couple of sessions.

| Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 8.6 We appreciate the local (no‑account) mode for those who want to avoid cloud storage entirely. With an account, basic personal and authentication data are collected, and synced data is stored server‑side. The privacy policy is available and reasonably transparent about categories of data. We didn’t find evidence of two‑factor authentication or fine‑grained export controls, which would inspire more confidence. For typical productivity needs, it’s acceptable, but privacy‑sensitive users will want to review settings and possibly stick to local mode.

| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | We appreciate how Focus To-Do blends focus sessions with practical task features. It’s stronger than simple timers and lighter than heavyweight task apps, which makes it easy to stick with. If you value recurring tasks, reminders, and session history, the premium unlocks are compelling—especially given the typical lifetime pricing seen on mobile app stores. That said, user feedback points to occasional sync hiccups and design limitations. If you need flawless sync or deep project management, consider alternatives; otherwise, Focus To-Do is a reliable focus companion. | We appreciate how Focus To-Do blends focus sessions with practical task features.
