Extends the ActivityWatch time-tracking ecosystem with browser-level tracking, allowing users to see how much time they spend on specific websites and browser activities alongside their other desktop activity data

User installs ActivityWatch desktop app locally, then installs this browser extension. The extension monitors the active tab and sends periodic heartbeats (URL, title, tab metadata) to the local ActivityWatch server at 127.0.0.1:5600. Users can view aggregated web activity data in the ActivityWatch web UI at localhost:5600. The popup shows connection status and allows enabling/disabling tracking.

Target users: ActivityWatch users who want to track web browsing time alongside desktop activity / Privacy-conscious users who prefer local-first time tracking over cloud services / Developers and productivity enthusiasts analyzing their web usage patterns

The extension is bundled/minified (Vite build), making source analysis harder, but key logic is clearly identifiable
ActivityWatch desktop app is required but not bundled — external dependency for core functionality

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is completely free and open-source (GitHub: ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-web). The 'pro' keyword hits are all false positives from JavaScript code patterns like Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty, promise.resolve, Proxy, etc. — none relate to payment, premium features, subscriptions, or billing. There is no upgrade UI, no payment API calls, no gated features, and no subscription logic anywhere in the source.

Confidence: 98
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension has no login, authentication, or account system. The 'auth' keyword hits come from the webextension-polyfill library's API metadata for chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow (a generic Chrome API entry), not from actual auth usage by the extension. The 'session' hits similarly come from the polyfill's chrome.sessions API metadata. The extension communicates only with a locally running ActivityWatch server at http://127.0.0.1:5600 and requires no user account.
