# Advanced Time Tracker & Focus Guard 🛡️⏱️

**Stop doomscrolling. Start intentional viewing.**

Advanced Time Tracker is not just another website blocker. It is a smart digital well-being assistant that understands *how* you use the web. Instead of issuing blunt daily bans, it measures your **effective attention time** and encourages healthy consumption habits through structured sessions.

## 🌟 Why This Extension?

Most time trackers have a flaw: they count time whenever a tab is open. If you pause a YouTube video to grab lunch, your time ticks away.

**Advanced Time Tracker is different.**
It uses category-specific detection algorithms to track only your *active* consumption:
* **Video Mode**: Tracks time only when the video plays. Pausing stops the timer.
* **Reading/Social Mode**: Tracks time only when you are scrolling, typing, or interacting. If you walk away, the timer stops.

## 🚀 Key Features

### 1. Smart Session Management
Break the endless loop of "just one more video."
* **Sessions**: Define how long you want to focus or relax (e.g., 30 minutes of Netflix).
* **Mandatory Rest**: Enforce a cooldown period (e.g., 5 minutes) between sessions to reset your dopamine levels and rest your eyes.

### 2. "Effective Time" Detection
* **Video Sites** (YouTube, Netflix, Twitch): Hooks directly into the video player. Background tabs don't count unless video is actually playing.
* **Social & Reading** (Reddit, Twitter/X, Medium): Uses activity monitoring to discard idle time.

### 3. Flexible Control
* **Daily Limits**: Set hard caps for total usage per category.
* **Forbidden Hours**: Completely block distracting categories during your work hours (e.g., 9 AM - 5 PM).
* **Visual Feedback**: A beautiful, non-intrusive dashboard and on-screen overlays keep you aware of your limits.

## 🛠️ Usage

1. **Click the Extension Icon** to see your current site status and categorize it instantly.
2. **Open Settings** to configure your categories (Video, Social, Reading, Audio).
3. **Set Your Limits**:
* *Session Duration*: How long before you need a break?
* *Rest Duration*: How long should that break be?
* *Daily Limit*: What's the max time allowed per day?

## 🔒 Privacy First

* **100% Local**: All data is stored on your device.
* **No Analytics**: We don't track your browsing history or send data to any servers.
* **Open Source**: Transparent code for peace of mind.
