Todoist Review — Task Management With a Web Clipper Built In
Todoist's Chrome extension lets you save any webpage as a task with a due date, priority, and project assignment — directly from the browser. The saved task appears in Todoist's app across all devices alongside your other tasks. For creators who manage a content production schedule in Todoist, the browser extension connects research browsing to the task system without any manual copying.
Install on Chrome Web Store →Key Features
Saving the current page as a Todoist task takes one click — the page title becomes the task name and the URL is attached. Due date, priority, and project can be set in the popup before saving, or adjusted later in the Todoist app.
Tasks created from the browser extension are immediately available in Todoist's apps on iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows. The research link and task context are together in one place rather than split between a bookmark and a to-do item.
Natural language date input lets you type 'tomorrow', 'next Monday', or 'in 3 days' when setting due dates in the popup — the same quick-add system from Todoist's main app works here.
Projects and labels can be assigned from the browser extension popup, so saved tasks land in the right place in your content production workflow from the moment of capture.
Who Is It For
Creators who use Todoist as their primary task management system and want to connect web research to their workflow without switching apps. If your content production schedule lives in Todoist, the browser extension makes adding 'research for next week's video' tasks immediate rather than requiring a manual app switch.
Creators who don't use Todoist — or who prefer lighter, simpler task systems — won't benefit from the extension without adopting the app first. The extension only adds value if Todoist is already part of your workflow.
Pros and Cons
- ✅ Saves web pages directly as tasks in your existing Todoist workflow
- ✅ Full task configuration available from the browser popup
- ✅ Syncs immediately across all Todoist apps
- ❌ Requires a Todoist account — no standalone value without the app
- ❌ Advanced features (reminders, filters) require a Todoist paid plan
Pricing
The extension is free. Todoist's free plan covers core task management. The Pro plan ($4/month) adds reminders, calendar sync, and advanced filtering.
Summary
Worth installing if Todoist is your task management tool of choice. The browser extension completes the workflow loop — research leads directly to tasks without app switching. No value outside of an existing Todoist workflow.
