I’ve found an extension for Chrome which works very well, but it seems this is not being developed further.
Any ideas whether this is correct or not? |

Which Chrome extension are you using?

I am not sure, but I have copied the following information:
Description A native Chrome app for Toodledo. Version 0.2 Size < 1 MB Permissions This extension requires no special permissions Site access This extension has no additional site access. View in Chrome Web Store Source Chrome Web Store Whoever it is, it is absolutely first class. I really hope that it is yours. This message was edited Oct 19, 2021. |

Hi Toby -
I believe this is a 3rd party app here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/toodledo/dfdhbdeglbgndaidoemggjfkeopfcedd And it seems that you are correct, it is no longer in active development, but should continue to function so long as google doesn't make any breaking changes to Chrome. |

Thanks.
Are you planning to do something similar as this is first class? I also use Taskangel which also compliments your service very well too. |

Unfortunately, we don't currently have plans for this at the moment.
However, if it's something that we hear a lot of users request, or if this current one stops working, we may consider it in the future. |

Chrome and Gmail extensions are essential for any task manager as a way of easily and quickly adding tasks.
They must also have the ability to set all task parameters from the extension interface. Toby, I am using the "Add to Toodledo" extension which can be found in the Chrome Web Store here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/add-to-toodledo/hdmhiihcenipfdlmkdlhmgijjimlpkim Version 1.1.8.13 Updated 16 June 2021 Size 230KiB It works very well and as you can see was last updated 16 June 2021. PamelaH, Although the above extension works very well, it could one day disappear so it is essential that you add a Gmail/Chrome extension into your plans so that you have it developed and in place long term in case this happens. BTW I have had an account since October 2010 but when Jake first sold the business, along with many others, I quickly lost faith in the new owners and moved to the Dark Side (Remember the Milk) as this service was still being developed and supported. However I maintained a free account with Toodledo (was Silver) and kept a watch on the forums (until they disappeared!). Looking at your plans so far with Toodledo has given me hope that the service will continue to be supported and improved, so I have taken out a Standard subscription (to help support you) and started using Toodledo again as my Task manager. I would reiterate what many others have said that the main attraction of Toodledo is the simple (spreadsheet like) web interface that shows as many tasks as possible with all their relevant parameters fully visible all the time. Please do not change this principle, fancy/colourful interfaces are all very well but nothing beats the current Toodledo layout (and I have tried very many of the competitors) By all means improve the mobile apps (they need it) and continue to develop new features but listen to your loyal user base and keep the principle format the same. Looking forward to another 11-plus years of service from the best Task Manager service around. |

Instead of running an extension, try pinning the tab in Chrome and have it always running. Faster to access even if it takes a little more resources.

I have installed the extension but can you please advise how I launch it? As regards you r comments about the attraction of Toodledo, I wholeheartedly agree with this. |

Toby,
re - Launching the extension; In Chrome Left click on the extension icon (a blue tick with an orange circle with a plus sign in it) which should be in the extension bar (between the search bar and your avatar, top right of the page), this will launch the extension as a pop up form. To change the extension settings or reward the developer with a micro payment right click on the icon. If you don't see the icon there then you need to pin it to the extension bar, see instructions here - https://www.groovypost.com/howto/pin-extensions-on-the-chrome-toolbar/ In GMail Open the email you want to create a task from and at the top (in with all the GMail icons) you should see a blue tick with the words *Add to Toodledo" next to it, click here to launch the extension in a pop up form. There should also be a circle icon with a plus sign in it, if you click this it will add the email to Toodledo using the extensions default settings HTH |

PamelaH, Although the above extension works very well, it could one day disappear so it is essential that you add a Gmail/Chrome extension into your plans so that you have it developed and in place long term in case this happens. Noted, and we have added this to our backlog. We appreciate the feedback and support! I would reiterate what many others have said that the main attraction of Toodledo is the simple (spreadsheet like) web interface that shows as many tasks as possible with all their relevant parameters fully visible all the time. Please do not change this principle, fancy/colourful interfaces are all very well but nothing beats the current Toodledo layout (and I have tried very many of the competitors) By all means improve the mobile apps (they need it) and continue to develop new features but listen to your loyal user base and keep the principle format the same. Absolutely agree, we have no plans to change the basic, simple spreadsheet interface, and any additional views we support in the future will be completely optional. |

I'll second what was stated above. The spreadsheet-like layout is why I'm here. In addition, the Hotlist, search and all the different ways to slice and dice your lists are frosting on the cake (folders, tags, etc.).
An option for more relaxed line spacing like Gmail provides would be welcomed, but it's not a deal breaker. I signed up for a subscription as well, mainly to support the ongoing efforts to move TD forward. |
