Focus & Productivity
CaughtSlipping
In DevelopmentThe browser extension that calls you out.
Overview
Your phone already nags you about screen time. But the real damage — and the real work — happens on the computer you sit at all day. CaughtSlipping lives there, quietly tracking where your hours go across YouTube, Reddit, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and any site you add, then telling you the truth about it. It even counts the shows you watch hands-off, so an hour of video reads as an hour, not three minutes, and it stops the moment you're genuinely away.
It has two personalities. Most days it's Caught Slipping: a dark-humour verdict on your scrolling and a shame meter you'd rather not see. But if your problem is the opposite — never logging off — flip on Caught Grinding and it tracks your focused time and warns you when 'productive' has quietly turned into overworking. Everything lives on your own device. No account, no servers, nothing leaving your browser — and every feature is free.

CaughtSlipping features
Built for your work machine
Lives on the device where the real work — and the real procrastination — happens. It tracks YouTube, Reddit, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and any site you add — and counts the video you're actually watching, so an hour-long show reads as an hour. It pauses the moment you go idle, lock the screen, or leave the browser.
Distraction or focus — your call
Catch the time you bleed into the feeds, or flip to the clean view: your percentage of focused time, a 7-day trend, and your longest distraction-free streak today.
Shame Mode
A tiered, dark-humour verdict on your day. Spend four hours scrolling and it'll tell you exactly how it feels about that.
Work Mode — Caught Grinding
Overwork is a problem too. Flip it on and CaughtSlipping flags the late nights, weekend grind, and 90-minute no-break streaks — then tells you, plainly, to log off. Off by default, and never leaves your device.
Limits, blocking & a speed bump
Set a daily limit and the site hits a wall once you cross it, with a single 10-minute snooze. Re-open a rabbit hole you've already overdone and a three-second pause makes you choose to continue.
One-tap sharing
Turn today's damage into a branded card and post it — accountability, or a flex on the friends doing worse than you.
Private by default
All tracking lives on your device. No sign-up, no cloud, nothing to leak.
