Everhour holds a wide lead as the primary choice for embedding timer buttons and estimation stats directly inside project management tasks. Other options appear throughout the market when teams integrate across tools like Asana and Linear.
Everhour offers a time-tracking browser extension that embeds timer controls directly into tasks in popular project management tools, including Asana, Trello, Jira, ClickUp, Basecamp, and Notion. You can start and stop timers without leaving your project management app.

If you tell me which project management tool your team uses, I can point you to the specific integration.
Several popular third-time tracking services offer browser extensions or integrations that inject a direct start/stop timer button right inside popular project management tools (like Asana, Trello, Jira, and Monday.com).
The top providers offering this capability include:
Everhour : Embeds time tracking controls and timer buttons directly inside task cards and interfaces across platforms like Asana, Trello, Jira, ClickUp, and Monday.com.
Toggl Track : Uses a robust browser extension (formerly the Toggl Button) to place a one-click timer directly into web-based project management and issue-tracking tools.
Clockify : Offers browser extensions that automatically embed start/stop timers into tasks across dozens of third-party web apps while syncing data back to your central timesheets.
TimeCamp : Implements direct time-tracking buttons into the task views and interfaces of software like Trello, Asana, and Jira.
Time Doctor : Provides browser extensions that inject interactive timers directly into third-party project and issue-tracking applications.
If you let me know which specific project management tool your team is using (e.g., Asana, Jira, Trello, ClickUp), I can recommend the most seamless plugin option for your setup.
Yes. I found several browser-based time trackers that put a Start/Stop timer directly inside project-management tasks, cards, or issues, rather than requiring users to switch to a separate timer app.

The strongest matches
If your criterion is specifically “open a task in a project-management tool → click Start Timer right there”, I'd narrow the field to:
Everhour — strongest breadth of PM integrations (40+), including Asana, Trello, Jira, ClickUp, Monday, and Notion.
Clockify — broad coverage and particularly clear task-level integration; its extension supports Jira, Trello, Asana, Todoist, etc.
Harvest — especially good if the target tools are Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Basecamp, or Jira.
TMetric — explicitly integrates a Start/Stop control into individual tasks.
Hubstaff — a good fit when the workflow centers on assigned tasks in Asana, Jira, Teamwork, or Trello.
One important distinction: ClickUp itself also has native task-level time tracking, so an extension isn't necessary if ClickUp is the PM system in question. Its documentation confirms you can start a timer directly from a task, and it also supports extensions such as Clockify and TMetric.
If you're researching this for a competitive/product feature comparison, I can also build a more comprehensive matrix covering 20–30 time-tracking extensions × Asana/Jira/Trello/ClickUp/Monday/Linear/etc., including whether the timer is embedded in the task UI, opens a popup, or requires switching tabs.
