Browser extension

The GetItDone browser extension turns whatever is in front of you — the page, a paragraph you selected, a screenshot of what is on screen — into a task in your workspace, with the source URL attached.

It supports Chrome and Edge today. Firefox is planned; see What is not in this version.

What it does

Save the current page. Click the toolbar icon, or press Alt+Shift+G. The page title arrives pre-filled as the task title and the URL lands in the task notes. Edit anything, optionally pick a project and a due date, then press Add task.

Save a selection. Highlight text on any page, right-click, and choose Add selection to GetItDone. The first line of the selection becomes the task title; if the selection is longer, the whole of it is kept in the description so nothing is lost.

Attach a screenshot. Press Attach screenshot of this page to capture the visible part of the tab. You see the image before anything is sent, and can remove it. On submit it is uploaded as a normal task attachment.

Nothing leaves your browser until you press Add task.

Signing in

Choosing Sign in to GetItDone opens GetItDone's own sign-in and consent pages in a browser-controlled window. Your password never reaches the extension: it receives a scoped access token, and only these four permissions are requested — read and create tasks, read projects, read your workspace.

You can revoke the connection at any time from Profile → Connected Apps in the web app. Signing out from the extension's options page clears the tokens stored in that browser; removing the connection in Connected Apps revokes it everywhere.

The free plan works. Creating a task costs one API call against your plan's allowance; adding a screenshot costs two more.

Privacy

The extension asks for four permissions and one host:

• storage — the sign-in tokens, your default project and a short cache of your project names.
• identity — used only to open the sign-in window.
• activeTab — the title and URL of the tab you are on at the moment you open the extension, and the screenshot when you press the button. It does not run on pages in the background.
• contextMenus — the one right-click item.
• https://app.nowgetitdone.com/* — the only server the extension contacts.

There is no analytics and no error reporting of any kind in this version.

Some pages cannot be read by any extension — chrome:// pages, the extension gallery, and PDF viewers. On those the popup says so and you can type the task yourself.

What is not in this version

Being explicit, so nothing here reads as a promise:

• No AI extraction. The extension attaches a screenshot; it does not turn it into several proposed tasks. That capability exists in the web app (Capture) and is planned for the extension.
• No voice capture.
• No offline queue — a task is created when you press the button, or you see the error.
• No task browsing from the extension, and no in-page sidebar.
• Firefox is not published yet. The build supports it; the Add-ons store requires a reproducible source-code submission that has not been completed.

The extension is built on the same public API anyone can use — POST /v1/tasks plus the two-phase attachment upload — with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. If you want the same capability somewhere else, that API is the way in.
