## Description

YouTube™ Time Tracker is an open source Chrome extension designed to help you monitor the time you spend watching YouTube™ videos. Prioritizing your privacy, it does not collect or transmit any personal data, instead storing all usage statistics locally on your device.

As a privacy-first tool, YouTube™ Time Tracker respects your data by keeping everything stored on Chrome Local Storage in a straightforward date-to-time format.
