For Chrome users, managing tasks directly from your browser can make life a lot easier. The Any.do Chrome extension lets you handle personal tasks and shared boards without ever leaving your tabs. It’s perfect for quickly adding or checking off tasks while you browse.
With this extension, you can switch between personal lists and shared Family/Workspace boards, add tasks with the quick-add field, and organize your day by sending tasks to My Day. There's even a web clipper to capture text from web pages as tasks. It’s a straightforward tool that helps you stay on top of your to-dos, whether you're working or managing personal todos, all from the corner of your browser.
