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. Learn more about Freedom here: https://freedom.to
Please note: Insight 1.0.0 is our initial release with Manifest 3 compatibility. You may experience slight differences in behavior due to the significant changes required to comply with Manifest V3. Please send us your feedback at [email protected] and we'll continue to improve Insight. Thank you!

- (2025-06-26) Sumit Mishra: It's simple to use and manage.
- (2025-04-20) Adán: Nice to see the app have some growth. Well used, its so powerful! About Insight, i miss an "alias" feature, so i can identify certain. For example, i have a line called google.com, but i know is mostly related to Google Workspace, not web surfing. I would like to add an alias to it. Apart from that, its a nice add-on to the main app!
- (2025-03-10) Thunder joy: 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
- (2025-02-18) Virender K Gupta: Works very good, helps in giving insigt how much time i am wasting on unneccasay web surfing
- (2024-09-01) Raheel H: 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.
- (2024-06-10) Shripad Khandare: Really Great Extension I use it on daily basis. It would be cool if developers can add new features like time limit for websites etc.
- (2024-01-30) Ryan Camus: Great extension I use on a daily basis to optimise how I spend my time. Is there a way to export my data so I can analyse it better?
- (2023-12-20) paplon02: It would be great if would this time tracker worked also for desktop apps (maybe some feature for Freedom app?)
- (2023-08-16) Rayan Mohammed: I just made me realize how much time I waist online and on what. Thank you so much for this, I can say for me I aceived a lot. Thank you.

- (2023-04-26) Jenna Click: 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.

- (2022-09-14) Tomi Ayeni: I've been looking for something like this, to track the distribution of my time. Most other extensions are too cluttered, but this is both simple and effective. I also like that I can move/remove the running timer, but I wish I could customise which site it's on. Still, this is a very good extension! Thanks!

- (2022-09-13) Susannah: 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.

- (2021-09-03) Preet Mehta: It's simply awesome! At least now I know what can I cut and save my time from! Also, there's one lil annoying bug (tooooooo annoying actually) If I accidentally hover the mouse over the timer the timer then litterally follows where my mouse goes :' something going between them I suppose Steps to reproduce: Just hover your mouse over the timer / click on the timer No workarounds found except to restart the timer option

- (2021-07-10) Siddharth: Love it. At the end of every week I check my Insights reports and block websites that I wasted the most time on (using another software called Pluckeye). Weird how you never realise how much time you end up spending on random surfing, this extension is extremely useful in making me self aware and saving precious time.

- (2021-05-11) Isaiah Stewman: Super useful! Possible things that would be nice would be allowing the graph to show all sites and their trends, and maybe an "all time/year button?" I'm not sure how realistic this is, but I have two monitors, so the app doesn't track when I'm doing something else on another screen and watching a video for example, possibly a toggle for that would be nice, or based on sound playing idk Again tho, 5/5 extension, helps a ton with seeing what I'm wasting time on.

- (2021-05-06) Rob Stevens: EDIT: If you have issues with the timer disappearing, check the other extensions with similar timer (e.g., "Limit" from the same publisher)

- (2020-12-14) Lucía García-Amorena: I loved it but it would be great if it could show a daily average over periods of time. Kind of more like the time of use for apple.
