User reviews

Users appreciate the Simple Todo extension for its minimalist design, ease of use, and effective task management. Many find its simplicity refreshing and its interface beautiful. However, common issues include the absence of syncing across devices, inability to retain formatting like new lines in tasks, lack of an archive feature for completed tasks, and the extension automatically launching on new tabs without user control. Despite these cons, it remains a well-liked and practical tool for daily task tracking.

Lovely extension. Does the job. Nice and simple. Almost perfect. Few issues though. Would be great if this gets fixed: - Does not retain new lines in task description - There should be an archive option too. Right now the only option is to delete completed tasks and there is no way to get it back - A sync option with google account would be awesome

Its a todo app in browser. I would like to add link of websites in todo list. So, by clicking on the task, new tab opens up for the that. would be appreciable feature. Overall good experience.

Really wanted to like it, but couldn't get it to save my items or layout. So every time I load the browser, it lost all settings and todos. Otherwise, it's beautiful and would have been super helpful. Almost perfect. :(

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Simple Todo requires very minimum permissions.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
