Description

We built Insight to be a lightweight, privacy-conscious time tracker that helps you understand how you spend your time online. Insight tracks the time you spend on websites in Chrome, and provides a simple report so you can see where you're spending your time. You can drill down into individual sites and see your daily time on each site. - See time spent by day, week, or set a custom time window for any calendar period - Drill down on each site to see time spent each day of time period - Exclude any site from being tracked We've built Insight to be privacy-conscious. None of your data is sent anywhere (the cloud, our servers, etc.) It remains secure on your own device. If you want to become more productive, you have to first understand how you're currently spending your time, and Insight helps you do just that. With this insight, you can be more mindful about how you spend your time. Thank you for giving Insight a try. Insight is a product of Freedom Labs, where we develop new tools to help you balance your relationship with technology. Like our other extensions, Insight is highly privacy-conscious.

this is the worst one, it do not even tracks time spendings on websites. i have recently used another one called "onWebTrack" that is much better that this, you have to improve a lot

Does it only work with Freedom??! Tried both (Freedom first), but I don't want to hit "start session" every time for it to track. Also I want it to track my time using ALL/ANY programs while on my device, Freedom seems to focus mostly on "blocking" stuff. This browser-site-tracker didn't work at all since I chose to no longer use Freedom since it's cumbersome and not doing what I need. :/ Maybe they'll change/add features... I'll look elsewhere till then.

Would be great except that it doesn't honor its setting about whether or not to show a running count of time spent on sites; if you toggle that setting off and on it will eventually stop showing the running count on that tab, but that doesn't persist between reloads or browser reboots (even though the toggle itself might still show as off)

Few feature enhancements: 1. On face of it I don't think it's 'merging' activitiy: (A) My mobile activity and desktop activity as I am sure I am using some apps more on mobile. (B) Also it's clearly not merging Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome activity. This is despite being generally logged in with Google account. When I launch insights from each browser I get different metrics. Like many I tend to alternate between browsers. Some kind of 'synch' functionality would be enormously useful. 2. It would be good to show how much time the Freedom app is enabled - the idea here is you should be targetting to have the app enabled as much as possible so weekly comparisons will tell you if you ended up just switching it off and forgetting to re-enable. 3. The big issue I have with Freedom is that it requires lots of workarounds / fiddling in a corporate environment because desktop app can't be installed for security reasons. Hence there should be a lot more emphasis on the web based extensions working really seamlessly as the majority of corporate users will be using that. I am still using Freedom actively as I really think the tool is much better than not having at all - hope the product keeps getting enhanced.

I like seeing where I spend my time online- very helpful. But the timer won't turn off, even though I have it turned off. It's annoying and distracting when I am trying to work. Please fix this.

It was okay but lacking the customization to remove excluded websites from report.
