Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 7.0 TimeOWare offers basic functions for checking the time spent on websites. These include time recording on websites, where the percentage of total time taken up by each website is displayed directly in real-time in a statistic. ![]() Another feature is the blocking of websites. Websites can easily be blocked manually if you think that you no longer want to use this website. Here we would like to see the manual blocking of websites. ![]() However, it lacks advanced features such as detailed analytics or customizable alerts that some users may find useful. Nevertheless, the core features are well implemented and serve the main purpose of improving digital well-being. | 9.3 Todoist offers comprehensive functions for task management. Tasks can be prioritized, labeled and filtered. ![]() Another good feature is that websites can be saved directly as tasks. This can be done via the taskbar button or by right-clicking.

Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 As a completely free tool, TimeOWare offers excellent value for money as it provides essential time management features at no cost whatsoever. Winner in this category | 9.0 The functions of the Todoist extension are free of charge. The free functions of the Todoist application should also be sufficient for most users.

Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 TimeOWare is easy to use, with little set-up time. ![]() In our tests, we noticed that if several tabs are opened next to each other, they are also added up in the extension at the same time. The total number of hours is therefore higher than the actual number in the browser. This can be somewhat confusing for new users. ![]() | 9.0 In our test, we had no problems with the installation and the first steps. The creation of tasks and overall use is self-explanatory. There are also many instructions and tutorials already available for the tool. Winner in this category |

Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | TimeOWare is a great choice for anyone who wants to manage their online time more effectively and realize how much time is spent on websites. Its simple design and privacy-focused approach make it, in our opinion, a standout option in the time management space. We felt in testing that a little more customization and even more features could further improve the extension. Overall, however, we think TimeOWare is already a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their digital well-being. | Todoist is a great option for task management. We really like its simplicity, which is likely why it has become so popular. While some modern tools may offer more features, Todoist is one of the best choices if you’re looking for a solid, beautifully designed to-do list. Still, we noticed some performance issues. The extension takes longer to load when working in environments with a bad internet connection. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of, especially if you often work in places with poor internet. Overall, Todoist is a strong choice for anyone seeking an easy-to-use and powerful task manager, though its speed and offline capabilities could be improved. If you would like to test Todoist yourself, you can use our code to get the Pro version for 2 months free of charge. https://get.todoist.io/mgs7dk |
