Track your work hours automatically with our Chrome Extension. Project-based time logging, idle detection, and dashboard sync — privacy-first, no manual timers needed. Just $19.
Freelancers and agencies face a universal struggle:
| Manual Tracking | Automatic Tracking |
|---|---|
| "I'll log it later" → Never happens | Runs in the background, always |
| Estimated hours (usually wrong) | Actual hours (always right) |
| Client disputes | Transparent reports |
| Revenue leakage (5-15%) | Every minute captured |
| Context switching overhead | Zero effort |
Studies show freelancers lose 5-15% of billable revenue due to inaccurate time tracking. On a $100K annual revenue, that's $5,000-15,000 lost.
1. Install the Chrome Extension
2. Select your active project from the dropdown

It tracks:
We built Hours Tracker with strict privacy principles:
What we track:
✅ Domain name (e.g., "github.com")
✅ Page title (e.g., "Pull Request #42")
✅ Time spent on each domain
What we DON'T track:
❌ Full URLs (no query parameters, no private data)
❌ Page content (no screenshots, no DOM)
❌ Keystrokes or mouse movements
❌ Third-party analytics
❌ Personal browsing data
No data goes to third-party services. Everything syncs directly to YOUR server — the Developer Portfolio Platform you control.
