19. Places Status Indicator

Places Status Indicator is a frequently recommended extension among GNOME users, and with good reason. It’s a productivity boon, and you don’t want to miss this one.

This extension adds a menu for quickly navigating places in the system including network shares without opening a file manager. You get a quick drop-down indicator presenting you with immediate access to various mount points on the system. It helps save time accessing Home, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures and Videos folders, as well as hard disks, and your network shares.

This extension is part of Classic Mode and is officially supported by GNOME.

20. Time ++

Time ++ is a bit of a jack in the box. It crams a lot of functionality into a single extension. There’s a todo.txt manager, time tracker, timer, stopwatch, pomodoro, and alarm clock.

Features of the todo.txt manager include:

• Kanban boards.
• Fuzzy task searching.
• Filtering by context, project, priority, custom fuzzy filters…
• Toggling a filter on/off.
• Support for multiple todo files and corresponding done files and csv directories.
• Compound sorting by priority, due date, completion date, creation date, etc…
• Fuzzy autocompletion for contexts and projects when inline editing a task.
• Auto-updating when the todo.txt file changes.
• Deleting all completed tasks and optionally storing them into a done.txt file.
• Switching between different views via keyboard shortcuts.
