Features
☁️ marked features require cloud sync / 42 sign-in.
📅 Logtime
Replaces the default logtime view with a monthly calendar showing your logged hours at a glance.

- Goal tracking — set a target (default 140h/month). See a progress bar, your percentage, and remaining hours on hover.
- Daily average — average hours per active day.
- Last active label — shows when you were last seen. Choose between a date, “2 days ago”, or both.
- Emoji mode — pick an emoji and set how much it’s “worth”. Track your earnings with a monthly cap.
- Custom colours — pick your own accent colour for the calendar and labels.
- Calendar events overlay — synced 42 events appear as markers on your logtime calendar days.
🖥️ Clusters
- Directional markers — small arrows on the cluster map showing which way each seat faces. Works for Belgium clusters (shi, fu, mi, a1, a2). Toggle on/off from the cluster tab bar.
- Cluster picker — a dropdown on the cluster tab bar to quickly switch clusters, with a markers on/off button.
- Default cluster — set your preferred cluster and it loads automatically when you open the page.

- All settings are stored locally via
chrome.storage.local. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you explicitly enable cloud sync. - Cloud sync (optional): your settings are stored in a Cloudflare Worker KV under a hash of your login, so they can be synced across devices. The worker retains invocation logs for debugging (not used for tracking).
- Friends widget (optional, requires cloud sync): friend logins are stored locally and also included in your synced settings in KV. The worker additionally caches friend user IDs and online status in KV to reduce 42 API calls.
- Logtime data is read from the intra page directly — it never leaves your browser.
- Other users’ profiles: when visiting another user’s profile, their public custom visuals (avatar, banner, background) are fetched from the Cloudflare Worker if they use Better Intra. No data is sent to third parties.
- Permissions requested:
storage(save settings),activeTab(interact with 42 Intra pages), and access to the extension’s Cloudflare Worker for optional sync features. No analytics, tracking, or advertising.
