What is No Time?
No Time is a Firefox extension that tracks how much time you spend on the current site and on the web overall. Its badge can show either the time spent on the current site or your total web time for the day, with the display shown in minutes or H:MM once you pass 59 minutes. The add-on opens a panel from the toolbar button that shows both current-site time and total web time for today. From that panel, you can open a summary page or switch timing modes depending on how you want the tracker to behave. It offers multiple tracking modes: a grey default mode that pauses after 30 seconds of inactivity, a green mode that keeps counting during inactivity, a blue mode that logs only daily totals without recording which sites you visited, and a timer-off mode that stops logging entirely. It is aimed at people who want a lightweight personal web-time tracker with local storage and simple controls, including users trying to understand browsing habits, stay aware of time online, or exclude work-related sites from tracking. It also includes reminder notifications to nudge you at set intervals and a summary page covering today plus historical weekly and monthly views.

Frequently asked questions about No Time
What does Mind the Time track?
It tracks how much time you spend on the current site and how much total time you spend on the web each day. The badge on the toolbar button can show either the current-site time or the total daily web time, and the summary page shows where you spent that time.
How does the toolbar badge work?
The toolbar badge displays your time in minutes, and once the value goes above 59 minutes it switches to H:MM formatting. You can choose whether the badge shows current-site time or total web time for the day.
What happens in grey mode?
Grey mode is the default timing mode. It automatically pauses timing after 30 seconds of inactivity and resumes when activity starts again, such as moving the mouse inside the browser window.
What is green mode for?
Green mode keeps timing even during periods of inactivity. The page says this is useful when you want the timer to keep running while watching videos.
What does blue mode do?
Blue mode logs only the total time for each day and does not record which websites were visited or how much time was spent on each one. It is the privacy-lightest tracking option described on the page.
Can I stop logging completely?
Yes. The timer off mode stops logging time and websites entirely, and the button badge is not shown while that mode is active.
Does it store data locally?
Yes. The website says all data is stored locally on your computer. It also says data older than 70 days is automatically deleted, and there is an option to delete all data manually.
Can I exclude certain sites from tracking?
Yes. The options include a whitelist where you can enter sites that should not be logged and should not count toward your total time. The page mentions this can be used to exclude work-related sites.
Does it provide reminders?
Yes. Mind the Time can send periodic reminder messages after every X minutes to help you stay aware of how much time you have spent on the web. You can turn reminders on and set the frequency in options.
What kind of history and summaries does it show?
The summary page reports your time for today and the past 70 days, plus weekly summaries for the past 10 weeks and monthly summaries for the past 6 months. It also includes an option to change when a new day begins, which is useful for people who stay up past midnight.
