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.

Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The design is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate immediately. The interface can also be visually customized to suit your needs, but these are not overdone. The option of color-coded priority levels and project labels also helps with organization. Winner in this category | 8.0 The extension has a clear and intuitive design. The distraction-free reading environment is a good feature. However, the login process could be a little clearer. |
Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 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. For users who want to use functions such as reminders or additional view options, the price should also be reasonable. With an annual payment installment, $4 per month is reasonable in our view. Winner in this category | 8.0 The free version offers basic functions that should be sufficient for many users. The premium version offers additional functions such as full-text searches or improved tagging. The price-performance ratio is fine for us but could be too high for many basic users if they only use it occasionally. |
Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 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 | 7.0 The tool is generally easy to use, but the lack of initial instructions can be a problem for new users. There are also recurring registration problems, which are reported by other users in the reviews. |

This states that the data is encrypted according to the state of the art and that regular security updates are carried out. The data is stored in the cloud for synchronization; it cannot be stored locally. Winner in this category | 8.0 Save to Pocket uses industry-standard security measures, including encryption and firewalls. However, there could be stronger assurances regarding data security and liability for third-party services. |
Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | 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.
