Toggl Focus Browser Extension

Installing the extension

1. Open the extension in the Chrome Web Store
2. Click Add to Chrome
3. Click the Toggl icon next to your address bar and log in with your Toggl account

Note: Microsoft Edge (as well as other Chromium-based browsers) have support for Chromium extensions, so you can use the Toggl browser extension on those browsers by downloading it from the Chrome Store.

Toggl extension icon

Once you install the add-on, a Toggl icon will be added to the right of the address bar.

The dropdown timer

Click the Toggl icon in your browser toolbar to open the timer dropdown. From here you can:

• Start a new time log in timer mode
• See total time tracked for the day and week
• View recent time entries and edit or delete them by clicking on them
• Click the Toggl icon (top left) to open the web app
• Switch your active workspace
• Access Settings & Integrations via your initials

Integrations

Under Settings > Integrations, enable the web apps where you'd like to see the Toggl timer button. You can toggle all integrations on or off with a single click.

When you start a timer from inside an integrated app, the extension pre-fills the task name based on the page or item you're viewing. You can confirm or edit it before the timer starts.

Example: You're in Google Calendar and click the play button on an event called "Meeting with Clients." The extension pre-fills the task name as "Meeting with Clients" — tap Done to confirm and start tracking.

Currently supported integrations:

• GitHub 
• Trello 
• Gmail 
• Google Docs 
• Google Calendar 
• Asana
• Jira — see below
• ClickUp
• Notion
• Backlog
• Slack
• HubSpot
• Todoist
• Odoo

Jira integration (available on the Premium plan)

The Jira integration connects Toggl directly to your Jira workspace, and the browser extension adds a timer button inside every Jira task — so your team can log time without switching tabs or manually recreating project structure.

What the integration does:

• Syncs your Jira projects, issues, labels, and assignees into Toggl automatically
• Shows a preview of what will sync before the first import
• Displays a success log of what came through
• Reflects subsequent Jira changes in Toggl automatically
• Maps assignees via email — missing users can be invited with one click

What the browser extension adds for Jira:

• Autofills the task title, project, and tags when you start a timer from inside a Jira task
• Supports manual time logging (not just the play button) — log time directly from the Jira issue without starting a live timer
• Quick-log presets: 15 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h
• Drag the play button to log a custom duration

To connect Jira, go to Settings > Integrations in the web app and select Jira.

Note: Bi-directional sync, custom JQL filters, and custom field mapping are not included in the current version.

General settings

Access settings via your initials in the extension dropdown.

Profile — update your timezone, country, and profile preferences.

Appearance — switch between Light and Dark mode.

Start time behaviour — choose how the timer dialogue appears when you start a timer from an integration: full screen, small popup, or none.

Real-time sync

The extension stays in sync with the web app in real time. Changes made in the web app — new tasks, updated entries, workspace changes — are reflected in the extension without needing a manual refresh.
