| What | Why it matters to you |
|---|---|
| MV3 Chrome Extension | Shows comfort with modern browser APIs, service-worker background scripts, and tight permission scopes. |
| Periodic Screenshots & Tab Logs | Demonstrates real-world handling of sensitive data, UI feedback loops, and local storage performance. |
| Exportable HTML Report | Highlights JS Blob/File APIs, client-side generation, and UX polish. |
| 100% Local-only Data | Exhibits privacy-conscious architecture & clear user communication. |
- One-click Pomodoro — default 25-minute focus sessions (configurable).
- 5-minute Proof Shots — captures the active tab every 5 minutes and logs title, URL, and timestamp.
- Instant Report Export — generates a self-contained HTML file with all screenshots embedded.
- Zero Backend — everything runs in the browser; nothing leaves the user’s device.
This extension never touches a server. Screenshots and tab history are:
- Captured locally via
chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab()only while a session is active. - Stored in
chrome.storage.local(sandboxed to the browser). - Bundled into an HTML file when the user clicks Export and immediately erased from storage.
No analytics. No third-party scripts. No network requests. Just client-side JavaScript.
- Manifest V3, Service-Worker background
- Tabs, Storage, ActiveTab, and Downloads permissions (minimum viable scope)
- Vanilla JS + HTML/CSS, no frameworks
- ES6 modules, async/await, Blob API
