In-depth safety analysis
The extension asks for permissions like storage, alarms, and notifications, but its host access is strictly limited to Toggl's own domains. That means it cannot read or modify data on other websites you visit — it only communicates with Toggl's servers to sync your time entries. This tightly scoped access is appropriate and expected for a time tracking tool that relies on a web service, making it far less intrusive than many general-purpose productivity extensions.
As with any tool that logs your activity, be aware that the developer states they collect "User activity" data. This likely covers your time tracking history within the Toggl platform, but the limited host permissions mean the extension itself cannot silently track your browsing across the internet. In this category, the main safety point is understanding what data the related web service gathers — not the extension’s local reach.
The extension’s maintenance score is perfect, indicating consistent updates and a healthy codebase. Its weakest metric, Publisher & Identity, is lower but still at 60%, which might reflect less public verification of the developer’s details on the Chrome Web Store — Toggl OÜ is a known company, so this does not raise immediate concerns given the overall A-grade rating.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.

Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
