Shepherd

Overview

Shepherd is a focus and productivity time tracker that runs as a free Chrome extension. The app uses gamification to encourage productive behavior by growing a sheep character based on your focus time.

Features

• Automatic Tracking: Quietly runs in the background and tracks Chrome usage with no manual input required
• No Start/Stop Buttons: Completely passive tracking with zero friction
• Site Classification: Automatically labels sites as productive or not productive
• Gamification: Grows a sheep based on time spent focusing, providing visual motivation
• Chrome-Only: Works specifically within the Chrome browser
• Free: Completely free Chrome extension with no paid tiers

How It Works

Once installed, Shepherd automatically monitors your browsing activity in Chrome and categorizes each website visit. Based on how much time you spend on productive sites, your virtual sheep grows larger, providing a fun visual representation of your focus and productivity.

Launch

Shepherd was recently launched on Product Hunt in early 2026.
