About
[ Your Time is Not Free ] Time Tax is a digital wellbeing tool that transforms aimless YouTube watching into "visible financial loss," helping you protect your most valuable asset: your time. Have you ever thought "just one more video," only to realize two hours have passed? This extension displays the "money you've lost" on screen in real-time, based on your self-assigned hourly rate. 🚀 Key Features 1. Loss Meter While you watch, your financial loss accumulates second by second. By feeling the pain of "Time is Money," you can curb unconscious scrolling. 2. Focus Mode Blocks all addictive elements of YouTube: Recommendations, Shorts, Comments, and the Sidebar. It provides a serene YouTube experience where you can focus solely on searching and watching specific content. *Disabling this mode requires a "30-second deep breath" countdown, preventing impulsive switching. 3. Audio-Only Work Mode Perfect for when you need background music for work. Turning this mode on turns the screen grayscale and hides the video feed (audio only). Enjoy the music without the visual distractions. Loss tracking is paused during this mode. 4. Morning Checkpoint The first time you open YouTube the next day, you are presented with an "invoice" of yesterday's total waste. You can choose to wipe away this guilt by "settling the debt" with a small donation (Buy Me a Coffee) or by accepting the loss. 💡 Recommended For - People who fall into YouTube rabbit holes and feel guilty afterwards. - Students and professionals who need to focus. - Anyone who wants to rediscover the value of their time. Take back control of your life from the algorithms.
