A web extension to keep track of the amount of time you spend on the internet

Browser screen time

Browser screen time is an extension which helps you track of the amount of time you spend online

Downloading the extension

Chrome

Chrome extension link

Firefox

Firefox addon link

Building the extension

Run npm install to install dependencies, then npm run dev to build, or npm run watch to build and then watch for changes.

Building for chrome

Chrome manifest v3 no longer supports background scripts, instead moving to service_workers. Replace the line "scripts": [ "background.js" ] with "service_worker": "background.js" and the extension should work with chrome. In the future this process could be automated.

[Question] Is there any way to show Notifications?

Hi Emilis,
This is a great project, and its open source. So, I am grateful for all the effort that goes in here!

I was wondering if its possible to make a settings page where I can opt-in to notifications for specific websites.

Apart from tracking how much time I spent, I would also be reminded at certain intervals, like if I spent too much time on YouTube in 1 day, for every hour I spent I could get a notification. Something similar was available for Xbox One.

This would require additional work. Defining 3 inputs to collect opt-in flag, the interval of notification and which site to receive notifications for.

I can look into this and create a PR, if you are interested in my help!

Extension goes in idle mode when watching a stream

Hi, I've recently noticed that the extension goes into idle mode when watching a video stream (ex. twitch) and stops counting time while watching it.

It works as expected when watching a video (ex. youtube) though 👌

Thank you for your support :)
