Use cases
Three stories of "wait, where did my day go?"
SiteLogs is for people who live in their browser. Here's how it
changes a typical day for three of them.
👩💻
For indie makers
"I was 'working' for 9 hours but launched nothing today."
You're building a product. There's no boss watching. Your "office" is a Chrome window with 14 tabs open: GitHub, Linear, Notion, Stripe dashboard, Paddle dashboard, your own staging site, your live site, four Google Docs, Twitter (research, you swear), and three articles you opened "to read later."
By 6pm, you've been at the desk all day. You're tired. But what shipped? You can't quite say. Was that 4 hours of code or 4 hours of switching between dashboards? Was that "research" or just doomscrolling Hacker News with the volume on guilt?
SiteLogs gives you the receipt. Open a new tab and the Overview shows: "Online 7h 22m today. Tools 3h 41m, Tech 2h 12m, Social 1h 14m, Other 15m." The 1h 14m on Twitter you don't remember spending? It's there. The 3h 41m in actual product surfaces (your repo, your dashboards) is also there — that's your real builder time.
What changes the next day: instead of vague "work hours," you've got a number. You can set a budget — "Social ≤ 30 min/day" — and the dashboard shows a progress bar. Most days you stay under. Some days you don't, and that's also data. Either way, the story you tell yourself about "today" matches what actually happened.
SiteLogs features that pull weight here: per-category time, daily focus budgets, period-over-period (this week vs last week), the heatmap (when am I most productive?), one-click tab cleanup at end of day so tomorrow doesn't start with 47 stale tabs.

For knowledge workers
"I'm in 6 tabs at once and zero of them feel deep."
You're a senior engineer / designer / PM at a company where the workflow happens in the browser. GitHub PRs in one tab. Notion specs in another. Slack pinging in a third. Linear tickets in a fourth. A Figma file in a fifth. A Loom you "should" watch in a sixth.
By Friday you've context-switched a thousand times. You feel exhausted and oddly under-shipped, and you can't quite explain why — you definitely "worked." Your manager asks how the Tuesday spec doc is going. You think for a second. You don't actually remember Tuesday.
SiteLogs makes context-switching costs visible. The Behavior page shows your focus blocks — continuous reading sessions ≥ 10 minutes — alongside your switches per hour count. You discover that on Tuesday you had eight 5-minute "fragments" but only one 23-minute focus block. That's why the spec felt like it didn't move: it didn't, because you were never inside it for long enough.
Across a week, you start optimizing for fewer, longer blocks. You batch Slack to twice a day. You close Notion tabs you're not actively using. You set a "Notion ≥ 2h/day" budget on the docs you're supposed to ship. The numbers reward the change: focus blocks go from 2/day to 5/day. Average block length goes from 14 min to 28 min. You ship more on the same hours.
SiteLogs features that pull weight here: focus blocks (≥ 10 min), switches-per-hour, attention quality split (productive vs leisure), category trends week-over-week, one-click tab organize to bring order to the workspace.
🎓
For students & researchers
"I've been studying all weekend." (You haven't.)
You're a student or PhD researcher. You sit down on Saturday at 10am with your laptop, intend to write the literature review, and somehow it's now Sunday 3pm and you've added 600 words.
In the moment, you remember it as: lots of focused study with some short breaks. The reality, which the calendar doesn't show: you spent 1h 47m on YouTube ("study music"), 53m on Reddit ("just one more thread"), 38m in WhatsApp, 24m on Twitter, and the actual paper got 2h 12m. Total in any Tools/Research domain over the weekend: 4h 30m.
SiteLogs is uncomfortable. The 24×7 heatmap shows your "study weekend" with deep red on the Reddit and YouTube hours — bright and undeniable. The category-trend chart shows Leisure ahead of Research by 2 hours.
The discomfort is the feature. You can't lie to yourself anymore, because the data is on every new tab. By the end of the next week, your Saturday looks different: 4h 12m on the actual paper, 35m on YouTube. You didn't try harder; you just got the receipts you'd been dodging.
SiteLogs features that pull weight here: 24×7 heatmap, category trends with weekly baselines, per-category daily budgets, the dashboard-as-new-tab so the data is unavoidable.
