Take back your time ⏳. LAPSE shows you exactly where your hours go online so you can browse with intention next time!
LAPSE is a Chrome extension that silently tracks how much time you spend on each website and visualizes it as a beautiful pie chart. No accounts, no servers, no data leaving your machine. Everything stays local 😉.
Built as a learning project to explore Chrome Extension APIs, service workers, and data visualization...but designed and shipped as a real product 💝.
- 🔍 Automatic tracking: starts the moment you open Chrome, no setup needed
- ⏸️ Smart pausing: stops counting when you switch apps, lock your screen, or go idle
- 📅 Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly views : see your habits at every scale
- 👩🏽💻 Beautiful UI : terminal-inspired dark theme with a spring color chart
- 📤 Export your data : download your stats as a CSV - daily, weekly, monthly or yearly
- 🔒 Privacy first : all data stored locally using chrome.storage.local, never sent anywhere. Auto-cleared after 1 year
