Screen time tracker for Chrome — digital wellbeing for tab workers
Screen time vs website time
Phone “screen time” answers: which apps ate the evening? Browser screen time answers: which sites ate the workday? TimeFlow tracks active tab time per domain and turns it into a daily focus score from productive vs distracting categories — practical digital wellbeing for knowledge work.
Who this screen time extension is for
- Developers bouncing between docs, GitHub, Slack web, and Stack Overflow
- Students researching with Wikipedia, Google Docs, and the occasional rabbit hole
- Anyone who already “knows” YouTube is a problem but wants numbers, not vibes
Free screen time analytics
- Popup: today’s score, top sites, live tab timer
- Dashboard: trends, heatmap, category breakdown, timeline
- Distraction insights and a daily focus story generated from your data
- No sign-in wall — data stored locally
Healthy habits that stick
Awareness first, then friction. Start with a week of tracking. If one site repeatedly appears after focus sessions, use Pro daily limits or the website blocker. That sequence beats installing a blocker on day one and uninstalling on day three.
Reduce distracting screen time (Pro)
Pro adds a website blocker, daily limits, focus mode, goals, and longer history ($9.99/month). Free analytics stay free forever.

FAQ
Is browser screen time the same as phone screen time?
No. Phone screen time covers apps on iOS/Android. A Chrome screen time tracker measures website time in the browser — where most knowledge work happens.
Can TimeFlow replace a phone digital wellbeing app?
It complements them. Use phone tools for mobile apps; use TimeFlow for Chrome domains, focus score, and optional website blocking.
Does screen time tracking require uploading my history?
Not with TimeFlow. Entries stay in Chrome local storage. Servers only see account/billing data if you sign in for Pro.
