GitScrum Chrome Extension
Coming Soon — Expected release: February 16, 2026. Awaiting store publication.
Create tasks and capture screenshots without leaving your current tab.
The GitScrum Chrome Extension puts your workspace in your browser toolbar. Click the extension icon to create tasks, capture screenshots, and access your projects — all without navigating away from what you are working on.
The Problem This Solves
Context switching kills productivity. Every time you open a new tab to log a task, report a bug, or capture feedback, you lose focus on your current work. The mental cost of switching between your browser and project management tools adds up throughout the day.
The GitScrum Chrome Extension eliminates that friction. A single click opens a popup where you can create tasks, attach screenshots, and select assignees — then return to your work immediately.
What the Extension Does
Quick Task Creation
The extension popup includes a full task creation form. Select your workspace and project, enter a title and description, and the task is created instantly. No page navigation, no loading screens, no context switch.
The form includes all essential fields:
- Workflow status — Set the initial column for the task
- Priority/Effort — Assign effort points
- Task type — Bug, feature, improvement, or custom types
- Assignees — Multi-select team members
- Labels — Apply existing project labels
- Time estimate — Set estimated hours and minutes (Pro)
- Board — Choose which Kanban board receives the task
Screenshot Capture
Capture a screenshot of the current tab with one click. The extension uses Chrome's native capture API to grab the visible portion of the page. The screenshot appears as a preview in the task creation form and automatically attaches to the new task.
Use cases:
- Report bugs with visual context
- Capture design feedback from client sites
- Document competitor features during research
- Save reference screenshots for implementation
Workspace Access
The popup displays your current workspace and project. Switch between workspaces using the dropdown selector. The extension remembers your last selection, so you can create tasks quickly without reconfiguring each time.
How It Looks
The extension popup follows GitScrum's dark theme design system. The interface is compact (400×580px) and organized into clear sections:
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🔷 GitScrum [Logout]│
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ Workspace › Project › New Task │
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ Task title │
│ Add description... │
│ │
│ [Screenshot preview] │
│ │
│ ○ Workflow ○ Priority ○ Type │
│ ○ Assignee ○ Labels ○ Time │
│ ○ Board │
│ │
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ [Create] │
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ [ Task ] [ Shot ] │
└─────────────────────────────────┘The bottom navigation switches between Task creation and Screenshot capture modes.
Authentication
The extension supports multiple authentication methods:
- Email and password — Standard login with optional MFA verification
- Google OAuth — One-click sign-in with your Google account
- GitHub OAuth — Authenticate using your GitHub credentials
- Facebook OAuth — Sign in with Facebook
Authentication tokens are stored securely using Chrome's built-in storage API. Your session persists across browser restarts — you do not need to sign in each time you open the extension.
