Many people perceive the browser as a giant black hole of endless distractions. That, however, isn't true. Agreed that the web is full of distracting websites, there are also a lot of productivity-enhancing tools that you won't find anywhere else but on the Internet. Out of many such tools, task managers, or to-do lists are considered to be the best of the lot. Helping you check things of a list is one of the best ways to start getting productive. On Google Chrome too, you'll find plenty of good task management apps and extensions that will help you get things done. We've picked out the very best ones for you in this article: Todo.ly Todo.ly is an impressive task management application that lets you manage your tasks online. With a clean-white user interface, this free application allows you to create lists from anywhere. You can group tasks into projects and also move the tasks from one project to another using simple drag and drop. By default, you get starter projects like Home, Work, Study, Personal, and a Shopping list. You can add as many projects as you want. There are other features like notes that require you to purchase a Pro account.  Todo-inator Todo-inator is a free, offline web app for your Chrome browser that lets you create and manage tasks.
