Mind the Time
Keep track of how much time you spend on the web, and where you spend it. A toolbar ticker shows the time spent at the current site or the total time spent on the web today. A summary page sums up data for the past 70 days, 10 weeks, and 6 months.

Summary
The Ticker
The badge on the toolbar button shows the time spent at the current site (the default) or the total time spent on the web today. There is an option for selecting which.
This ticker shows the time in minutes. More than 59 minutes is shown as H:MM, for example 1:05 for 1 hour, 5 minutes.
Click the toolbar button for a panel that shows both the time spent on the current site today and the total time spent on the web today (H:MM / H:MM). Use the panel to open the summary page or change the timing mode:
- Grey mode (default): timing is automatically paused after 30 seconds of inactivity and starts up again when activity resumes (e.g. when the mouse pointer moves inside the browser window).
- Green mode: keep timing despite periods of inactivity. This makes it easy to keep the timer on while watching videos.
- Blue mode: only log the total time for each day and don't log which websites were visited or how much time was spent on each of them.
- Timer off mode: no time or websites are logged. The button badge is not shown.
Receive periodic reminder messages (after every X minutes) to help keep you aware of how much time you have spent on the web. Turn these on and set the frequency under options.
