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

User reviews

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.
