Stand alone program that Tracks/Logs all the opened websites in the Chrome Browser. Even incognito! *No need to install anything in browser*

Web Tracker 🔍

It scans and logs the currently opened websites in Chrome Browser. It can even log incognito windows.

And the best thing is, It doesn't require any permissions to run🔥.

Usage

Clone the repository, open the project in Xcode, build the project and run the executable.

By default, it logs every 5 secs and creates the database file web-tracker.db in the home directory.

To provide custom time and file name:

The executable can take multiple arguments

1) Both time and file name. The order doesn't matter.

Example:

$ Web\ Tracker 2.5 "./Desktop/tracker.db"

or

$ Web\ Tracker "./Desktop/tracker.db" 2.5

2) Either time or file name

Example:

$ Web\ Tracker 2.5

or

$ Web\ Tracker "./Desktop/tracker.db"

To run it in the background

To be able to close the Terminal when Web Tracker is running, use this command while running the executable.

$ nohup ./Web\ Tracker &

And you can quit the Terminal.

To quit/stop the Web Tracker

To quit the Web Tracker, first find its PID using ps and use kill to stop the Web Tracker.

$ ps -e | grep "Web Tracker"
$ kill -9 pid_of_webtracker_from_above_command

The database has these columns:

• Table name: Data

Column Name	Data Type
url	varchar
title	varchar
incognito	int
time	varchar
date	varchar

For incognito: 0 means normal window, 1 means incognito window.

Currently it only supports Google Chrome Browser. It would be nice to extend the support to other browsers.
