It’s not a secret that people today spend a load of time browsing the web. More and more often we prefer connecting “through electric wires” than using the real world communication facilities. Our client decided that it’s time to make a change. Together we set out to develop a Chrome extension that will allow people to reclaim their time for friends and family.
Built by Magora
This Chrome Time project was designed and built by Magora. We are a London software development company (since 2010) building mobile and web apps for UK businesses, from a free working prototype to launch and support.
01 / Brief
02 / Solution
As always, we strove for the best. Our designer created a simple and comfy UI with a modern and stylish overall visual appearance to translate the idea and the mood seamlessly. Using this instrument you can set both an on and off time for the browser. And if you decide to reopen Chrome after it has been shut down for the night, you’ll have to watch subtle social video. Maybe the message delivered will make you reconsider whether what you seek to do online is really as important as it seems and remind you to spend more time with your loved ones.
