What is Amethyst?

Amethyst tracks active browser attention by domain and turns it into a local dashboard. It is built for people who want honest time visibility without sending browsing behavior to another cloud analytics product.

Who it is for

Developers and remote workers who live in browser tabs.
Writers, researchers, and students who want to understand attention leaks.
Privacy-conscious users who want browser analytics without an account.

Why it is different

Local-first tracking: activity data stays in the browser.

Attention over history: it measures active time, not just pages opened.

Lightweight setup: install, browse normally, and review the dashboard.

Key facts

Runs as a Chrome extension.
Tracks active tab time by website domain.
Includes CSV export and Pro controls for limits, schedules, categories, and weekly reports.
