What is it?

Time Tracker is a browser extension that records how long you spend on each website and turns that data into dashboards, analytical reports and habit summaries. It is meant for people who want to see where their browsing time actually goes.

Beyond tracking, it lets you manage websites with whitelist and merge rules, set daily, weekly or per-visit limits, and block pages when a limit is reached. Focus and Pomodoro sessions are available for planned work periods. Settings and data can be exported, imported, backed up to GitHub Gist, WebDAV or the Obsidian Local REST API, and synchronized through the browser account.

The extension is built with Rspack, TypeScript, Vue 3, Element Plus and ECharts, and installs on Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Safari installation is covered by a separate manual guide in the repository.
