1. Local-first means your data has nowhere else to go.
Most web-time extensions need a server. They have to — that's where cross-browser sync comes from, that's where the dashboard runs, that's where the analytics get aggregated. The trade-off: every URL you visit is sent to that server, indexed there, and tied to your account.
SiteLogs has no server. Visit records sit in your browser's IndexedDB on the device they were created on. The publisher has no copy. We can't see what you visit even if subpoenaed. The trade-off goes the other way: cross-device sync of visit history isn't a feature we offer (settings sync, but visit data doesn't). For most people, that's exactly the trade they want.
2. One-time payment vs subscription.
$15 once, yours forever. Includes every current and future feature. No tier, no upsell modal, no "you've reached your free limit" wall on day 31.
Subscription extensions in this category usually run $5–$10/mo or $40–$100/yr. After the second year, our $15 has paid for itself many times over. We picked one-time pricing on purpose: a tool that's in your browser every day shouldn't be a recurring decision.
3. Tab manager + time stats — same extension.
If you want time tracking AND tab management today, you're installing two extensions, paying two subscriptions, and learning two UIs. SiteLogs ships both: one-click "Organize" closes duplicate tabs, groups remaining ones by domain into Chrome's native colored tab groups, and you can save the current window as a named Session for later restore.
Why bundle them? Because the same person who wants to see "how long am I in Google Docs" usually also wants "let me clean up these 47 tabs first." Treating them as separate concerns ignores how people actually browse.
4. Replace Chrome's new tab page, not just a popup.
Most tracking extensions live in a toolbar popup — you click the icon, see a tiny window, and close it. Awareness is a deliberate action you have to remember to take. So you don't.
SiteLogs takes over the new tab page. Every time you open a tab, you see your day's stats, your pinned shortcuts, your top domains, the heatmap. No remembering, no friction. Awareness becomes the default state of "I'm about to open a new tab."
5. EN / 中文 bilingual — every label, switchable.
Most productivity extensions in the Chrome Web Store are English-only. Chinese-speaking users (a huge slice of the productivity-tooling market) are stuck with un-localized UIs that feel like a translation barrier on top of a habit-change tool.
SiteLogs has full Chinese localization for every label, message, category name, and FAQ. Switch in Settings. The data stays the same; only the language changes.
