Website Time Tracker: Screen Time & Daily Site Limits

See where your browsing hours go. A website time tracker that skips idle time, sets daily site limits and keeps data on your device.

Website Time Tracker shows where your browsing hours really go. It counts only while a tab is in front of you and you are at the computer, and it lets you set a daily time limit on the sites that eat your day. There is no account to create, and your records never leave this browser. ⏱ How the website time tracker counts ✅ Only the active tab of the Chrome window you are using is counted. Background tabs and a second window you are not looking at add nothing. ✅ Step away from the keyboard and the clock stops. The idle minutes before Chrome notices are taken back off, so a coffee break never shows up as browsing. You choose how long a pause has to be. ✅ A tab that plays sound keeps counting while you sit still, so a lecture video or a call is not lost. You can turn this off. ✅ Browser pages and files are not counted, and websites you mark Don't track never are. 📊 Reports you can read in a second Switch between today, the last 7 days and the last 30 days. The total comes with a comparison to the period before and a daily average. A time card shows every hour as a cell: the darker the cell, the more you browsed, so a late night or a lost morning is easy to spot. Arrows take you back through earlier days, and the list of time spent on websites puts the biggest sinks on top. ⛔ A daily time limit with a fair way out Click a website in the list and give it a number of minutes per day. When that time runs out, the page switches to a Time's up screen with three choices: close it, take 5 more minutes or change the limit. The extra five minutes come once a day per site, so opening the same address in a new tab does not start them over. Every screen time limit resets at midnight, and the toolbar icon shows today's time on the current website. 🚀 Getting started 1. Add the extension and pin its icon to the toolbar. 2. Browse as usual. Time tracking starts on its own, with nothing to switch on. 3. Open the icon to see today, or give a site its limit right from the list. 📁 Your records, your files 🔹 Export the selected period or all of your history as a CSV file with one row per site per day. 🔹 Save a backup file and restore it later or on another computer. Restoring the same file twice does not count anything twice. 🔹 Pause time tracking with one click, and delete all records from settings when you want a clean start. 🔒 Private by design To know which site you are on, this web time tracker reads the address of the active tab. It keeps only the site name and the seconds per day and per hour, never full page addresses or page content. It has no servers, no analytics and no ads. Records older than two years are removed automatically. 👩‍💻 Who it is for Freelancers who bill by the hour can track time spent on websites for each client next to the distractions. Students get an honest picture of a study day. And anyone who opened a site for a minute and lost an hour will see it happen in numbers. ❓ Questions and answers Q: Does it keep counting when I switch to another app? A: No. When no Chrome window is in focus, the clock stops. Q: What happens if Chrome closes? A: Your records stay. Time while Chrome was closed is not added, and counting picks up when you browse again. Q: Is this a website blocker? A: Only for the sites you give a limit, and only after the limit is used up. Everything else stays open. Q: How are sites grouped? A: By address without www, so two subdomains of one service show up as separate lines. That makes this site time tracker handy for telling work tools from feeds. Q: Can I use it as a time tracker for client work? A: Yes. The CSV has the date, the site and the seconds, ready for a spreadsheet or an invoice. Q: Where is my data? A: In Chrome's local storage on this computer. Removing the extension deletes it, so save a backup first if you want to keep it. A web time tracker you can trust should be small and honest about what it reads. Add Website Time Tracker to Chrome and see your first day of real screen time by tonight.
