ANSER FOR CHROME

Your day, one click away.

Anser for Chrome puts today in Chrome’s toolbar. Click the Anser icon and you see what’s next, your Top 3, your routines and your trackers, without leaving the tab you’re in.

Add to Chrome (opens the Chrome Web Store in a new tab)

Free in the Chrome Web Store. It needs an Anser account.

On a phone, or in another browser? The extension is for Chrome on a computer. Anser itself opens in any browser. Start your 14-day free trial.

The Anser for Chrome popup: Next up with three events, Top 3 with one ticked, routines with a streak, trackers for water, steps and vitamins, and Focus and Sounds buttons at the foot

Today, without opening Anser.

    What’s on now and the next things today, up to 4, with the time you’re protecting. Click an event to open it in Anser and change it.

    The popup’s Next up list: an event on now, lunch at 12:30 and Personal Time from 6 PM
  • Tick it off

    Tick off your Top 3 or add to it, tick today’s routines and keep their streaks, and add to a tracker: tap a glass of water, or type your steps. It’s saved to your Anser account, so it’s the same on your phone.

    The popup with a Top 3 item ticked, a routine ticked, and the Steps tracker open to type 2,000 steps
  • Focus, with the minutes on the icon

    Start a focus session from the popup. It’s the same timer as in Anser, and the toolbar icon counts the minutes down. Anser’s background sounds (rain, café, fireplace, forest, lo-fi) keep playing with the popup closed.

Set up in a minute.

  1. Add it to Chrome

    Press “Add to Chrome” on this page, then the same button in the Chrome Web Store. There it’s called Anser Digital Planner.

  2. Pin it

    Click the puzzle piece (Extensions) at the top right of Chrome, then the pin beside Anser Digital Planner. The Anser icon stays in your toolbar.

  3. Open it

    Click the icon, or press Alt+Shift+D. It uses your normal Anser sign-in, so if you’re signed in to Anser in Chrome there’s nothing to set up.

What it can see, and what it can’t.

It reads

  • Your day in Anser: what’s next, your Top 3, routines and trackers, read from anserplanner.com with your usual sign-in.
  • One copy of today, kept in Chrome on your computer so the popup opens at once. It’s read again when Chrome starts and once just after midnight, and deleted when you sign out of Anser.
  • Whether you’re signed in to Anser. It checks that Anser’s sign-in cookie is there, by its name only.

It never reads

  • The pages you visit, your tabs or your browsing history.
  • Any site but anserplanner.com.
  • Your new tab: it doesn’t change it.
  • Your Gmail, or anything in your Google account.
