Link Visit Tracker

About

Link Visit Counter tracks website visits, time spent per domain, and browsing behavior patterns while keeping all data stored locally on your device.

Each domain remains individually visible and can also be grouped into categories for easier analysis. The extension provides daily, weekly, and lifetime views of browsing activity, along with local behavioral insights.

All analytics are calculated locally. No data is sent to external servers.
