10 Chrome Extensions to Supercharge Your To-Do List (and Productivity) in 2025

Did you know that about 70% of people rely on to-do lists to handle their most important tasks?

It’s no surprise – in the modern world of constant digital distractions, staying organized is essential. And if you’re like most people, you already spend a large portion of your day inside your browser. So why not transform it into a command center for your tasks?

In this article, we’ll explore 10 powerful Chrome extensions that can level up your to-do list game. Whether you’re a productivity enthusiast or someone just trying to stay afloat, these tools – including context-aware innovations like TaskSite – can help you get things done faster, more efficiently, and with less stress.

The Problem

Professionals today are overwhelmed. We live in browsers packed with email tabs, half-read articles, scattered bookmarks, and an ever-growing list of digital sticky notes. The phrase “I had a to-do, somewhere…” hits home.

It’s time to fix that. With over 66% of the global market share, Chrome is the world’s most-used browser. That makes it the perfect environment for managing your tasks – right where your attention already is.

Let’s explore the best extensions for transforming Chrome into a productivity powerhouse.

1. Todoist – Your Tasks Everywhere

Todoist is one of the most popular task managers in the world – and for good reason. Its Chrome extension lets you quickly add tasks from any webpage. You can even save links directly into your task list for later.

• Pros: Cross-platform syncing, powerful tagging and project organization.
• Cons: Tasks are stored in the app, separate from your workflow context.

According to Zapier, Todoist is used by millions and is one of the most robust task management systems available.

2. Google Keep – Notes and To-Dos on the Fly

If you’re looking for a minimal, easy-to-use option, Google Keep is your best friend. The extension allows you to clip content or jot down quick tasks as sticky notes that sync with your Google account.

• Pros: Syncs seamlessly with Gmail and Google Docs.
• Cons: Not ideal for complex task management.

3. TaskSite – Tasks in Context (Stay Organized on Every Website)

TaskSite offers a fresh, innovative take: instead of a central to-do list, it lets you attach tasks directly to specific websites. These tasks then reappear when you revisit the site.

• Pros: Contextual awareness. Perfect for remembering what you needed to do on that site.
• Cons: Desktop Chrome only (for now). Best for web-centric workflows.

"If you’re reading an article and remember a task related to it, TaskSite lets you jot it down right on that page, ensuring you see it later exactly when you need it."

TaskSite is especially helpful for people who manage dozens of tabs or use the internet as their work hub. You’ll never forget why you bookmarked that page again.

4. Microsoft To Do – Integrate with Outlook/Office

For users deep in the Microsoft ecosystem, Microsoft To Do is a great pick. The Chrome extension (available via Microsoft Edge Add-ons) brings Outlook task syncing into your browser.

• Pros: Syncs across Windows devices and Microsoft services.
• Cons: Limited outside the Microsoft environment.

5. Notion Web Clipper – Save Pages to Actionable Lists

With the Notion Web Clipper, you can save web content into your Notion workspace. From there, turn it into a task, add it to a project board, or organize it however you like.

• Pros: Great for research-heavy workflows or reading lists.
• Cons: Not a native task manager; tasks require manual structuring.

6. Momentum – New Tab with Focus & To-Dos

Momentum replaces your new tab screen with a calming dashboard that includes weather, an inspirational quote, and a simple to-do list.

• Pros: Visually appealing. Reinforces daily focus.
• Cons: No syncing between devices. Not a full-featured task manager.

7. OneTab – Declutter and Save Tasks for Later

OneTab helps reduce tab clutter by collapsing all open tabs into a list of links – a perfect option for those using tabs as a to-do system.

• Pros: Reclaim memory and focus.
• Cons: Doesn’t integrate with traditional task managers.

Combine OneTab with TaskSite to keep tasks attached to the links that matter.

8. Beanote – Annotate Pages with Sticky Notes

Beanote lets you add sticky notes and highlights directly on any web page. It’s a great way to take quick notes during browsing sessions.

• Pros: Helpful for research and annotations.
• Cons: Notes don’t turn into actionable tasks unless you combine it with another tool.

9. StayFocusd – Keep on Task by Limiting Distractions

If procrastination is your enemy, StayFocusd is your defense. It blocks or limits time spent on distracting sites like Twitter or Reddit.

• Pros: Enforces discipline.
• Cons: Doesn’t manage tasks; purely a focus tool.

Perfect to pair with a to-do extension – like TaskSite – so you only visit sites when there’s a reason.

10. TabSnooze – Schedule Tabs to Reopen Later

TabSnooze lets you "snooze" tabs and have them reappear at a scheduled time. It’s like a task manager for your browser history.

• Pros: Prevents clutter and lets you time-shift content.
• Cons: Works best for passive reminders, not actionable tasks.

Use this in combination with TaskSite to get reminders and actions when a page returns.

Conclusion

Whether you prefer minimalist lists or powerful project managers, the right Chrome extensions can turn your browser into a command center for productivity.

Consider this your personalized "stack":

• Use TaskSite for context-aware tasks that show up on the right website.
• Use Todoist or Microsoft To Do for structured, long-term task management.
• Add tools like Momentum or StayFocusd to reinforce focus and reduce distractions.

Once you combine these tools, you’ll go from overwhelmed to in-control – with a browser that not only helps you work, but works for you.
