Rooster for Chrome™

Rooster helps you to stay productive by giving you insights on your Browsing habits and by notifying you when you lose your focus.
What is Rooster for Chrome™?
Rooster for Chrome™ is a Chrome extension designed to keep you productive by mapping your browsing habits. It provides data on the websites you visit frequently and the time spent on them. Additionally, you can set alerts for websites that you find unproductive, triggering push notifications if you overstay. All data is stored locally, ensuring privacy. Rooster aims to gently nudge you towards more productive browsing habits, instead of simply blocking unwanted websites.
