Doober - Convert Prices to Hours of Your Life

About

That $200 jacket? That's a full day of your life you'll never get back.

Doober converts every price on every website into the hours of work it would cost you. Set your hourly rate once, and a small badge appears next to every price you see: "⏱ 2.3h". Green if it's under an hour. Amber if it's a shift. Red if it's a week of your life.

It's the simplest way to shop smarter and spend less. No willpower required — just perspective.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Install Doober and click the icon in your toolbar
2. Enter your hourly rate (salary, freelance rate, whatever you earn after tax)
3. Browse normally — Doober scans each page and adds time badges next to prices
4. Check your dashboard and see exactly how many hours of your life went to shopping this month

Takes 10 seconds to set up. No account. No email. No setup wizard. You'll see your first price conversion on the next page you open.

WITHOUT DOOBER vs. WITH DOOBER

Without: A $49 shirt is just a number on a screen.
With: That shirt is 2 hours on a Tuesday. You still buy it if you want it — but now you're choosing with your eyes open.

PRIVACY — YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR BROWSER

Doober stores everything locally using Chrome's built-in storage:
• Your hourly rate — stored locally, never transmitted
• Purchase history — stored locally, clearable anytime
• Settings — stored locally
• Browsing data — not collected at all

There are no external servers, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no accounts to create. We don't collect, transmit, or sell any data. The extension requires only "storage", "tabs", and "webNavigation" permissions — nothing else.

100% FREE — HERE'S HOW

Doober is completely free to use. We earn small affiliate commissions from Amazon and select retailers (via the Awin affiliate network) when you shop — at no extra cost to you. On Amazon, Doober may add an affiliate tag to the URL. On other supported retailers, Doober may redirect briefly through an affiliate link to set an attribution cookie.

We never overwrite existing affiliate links. If a creator or publisher sent you to a product page, their commission stays intact. You can turn affiliate support off anytime from the popup.
