Install Toggl Track
Official extension, always install from the verified source
Toggl Track is a time-tracking extension that adds a "Start timer" button to most popular web apps (Asana, Trello, Jira, ClickUp, Linear, GitHub, Notion, Google Calendar, etc.). Click it on a task, the timer runs in the background across browser tabs, and you stop it when done. The extension also detects idle time and prompts you to confirm or discard it.
Free tier vs paid features
The free tier is generous: unlimited tracking, unlimited projects, unlimited clients, and up to 5 team members. For solo freelancers this is enough forever. Paid tiers add features for larger teams: time rounding (Starter), invoicing integrations (Premium), and required-fields-before-stopping (Enterprise). For individual users, the free tier is genuinely usable as a permanent solution, not a trial.

Who actually uses Toggl Track
For freelancers billing hourly, Toggl is the simplest accurate time log. For consultants working across multiple clients, the project-and-client tagging keeps billing clean. For salaried employees who want to know where their week went, the weekly reports show how much time actually went to deep work versus meetings versus interruptions. For agencies, the team workspaces let you see who is on what.
Pros and cons
Pros
Free tier is enough for individuals and small teams
Integrates with 100+ web apps via the extension
Idle detection prevents inflated time logs
Native reports without external tools
Clean, fast UI
Cons
Limited offline support
No invoicing on the free tier
Mobile apps are weaker than the browser extension
No Safari extension (use the desktop app)
Should you install Toggl Track?
For anyone billing hourly or trying to audit their own time, install Toggl Track free. The integrations alone (Asana, Jira, Trello, Linear, etc.) make it less friction to start a timer than to write a Slack message saying you started.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The free tier includes unlimited time tracking, unlimited projects, unlimited clients, and up to 5 team members. For solo freelancers this is enough permanently. Paid tiers add team features like time rounding, invoicing integrations, and required fields.
Partially. The Toggl Track desktop app has full offline support, queuing time entries and syncing when reconnected. The browser extension is online-only and requires a connection to start, stop, and sync timers.
Both have generous free tiers and similar core features. Toggl Track has cleaner UI, better web-app integrations (more "Start timer" buttons embedded in tools), and idle detection that works well. Clockify is unlimited free for teams of any size (Toggl free is capped at 5 users) and slightly cheaper paid tiers. For solo and small teams, Toggl is the polish winner; for larger teams on a budget, Clockify wins on price.
Yes. The browser extension adds a "Start timer" button directly into Asana tasks, Jira issues, Trello cards, Linear issues, ClickUp tasks, Notion pages, GitHub issues, and over 100 other tools. The timer name auto-fills from the task title.
No. Toggl Track is a manual timer; you start and stop it yourself. For automatic time tracking based on which apps you use, look at RescueTime or Timing instead. Toggl's Pomodoro timer and idle detection bring you closer to automatic without crossing into surveillance.
No browser extension for Safari. Mac users can install the Toggl Track desktop app, which works alongside Safari. The desktop app has the same core features but does not include the web-app "Start timer" buttons that make the Chrome extension uniquely fast.
