Features
Badge with the number of tasks for today
Gmail Addon - lets you add emails to Marvin, both from the list of emails and from the single email view. You will see a message at the bottom of the page to let you know that the task was successfully created.
Context menu buttons - you can add a new task to Marvin by highlighting text on the page, right-clicking and clicking on "Add task to Marvin" button in the context menu. The task will be created using the following rules:
The title is a hyperlink containing the page title and the URL of the page where the text was selected
The note is the selected text
Extension also comes with a dedicated options page where you can configure the following:
Which buttons/inputs are visible in the Add Task view

Force sync categories and labels
Choose where "Add to Marvin" button will be displayed in Gmail UI and whether the task will get scheduled for today
Auto-populate task title and note
If you'd like to add tasks that link to a webpage, or save some text from the page you're visiting, enabling the "Auto-populate Task Title/Note Input" settings will make that easier. With these settings enabled, the URL of the current page and selected text will be automatically added to the task's title and note.
