deTime is a smart website and screen time tracker for Chrome. It classifies each page by intent, so a coding tutorial on YouTube does not get lumped into the same bucket as a music playlist.
That breaks down on websites where work, learning, entertainment, and distraction all live under the same logo.
A tutorial, a news clip, and a playlist are three different behaviors. deTime separates them.
Research communities, hobby threads, and doomscrolling should not be reported as the same thing.
Your browsing data should stay useful to you without becoming raw behavioral exhaust for someone else.
deTime combines browsing history, page-level metadata, and context-aware rules to produce more useful screen time analytics.
See how activity clusters across multiple tabs and visits instead of isolated page timers.
Pages are classified by what they contain, not just by which domain they belong to.
Understand patterns, trends, and recurring distractions with simple breakdowns.
Set boundaries by category when you want to reduce low-value browsing time.
Designed for Google Chrome and compatible Chromium-based browsers including Edge and Brave.
Local-first handling keeps the product aligned with a privacy-sensitive audience.
Many tools can tell you where the tab was open. Fewer tools can tell you what the time meant.

Most trackers label time by app or domain. deTime focuses on page-level intent so mixed-use websites can be measured more accurately.
Yes. The product is designed around Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, where most knowledge work and distraction now happen.
Those are distinct search intents. Separate pages let the site answer each query clearly instead of forcing every topic into one homepage.
