Features	7.0 TimeOWare offers basic functions for checking the time spent on websites. These include time recording on websites, where the percentage of total time taken up by each website is displayed directly in real-time in a statistic. Another feature is the blocking of websites. Websites can easily be blocked manually if you think that you no longer want to use this website. Here we would like to see the manual blocking of websites. However, it lacks advanced features such as detailed analytics or customizable alerts that some users may find useful. Nevertheless, the core features are well implemented and serve the main purpose of improving digital well-being.	9.5 In our tests, Toggle Track was found to have a diverse set of features suitable for both individuals and teams. The time tracking function is straightforward and allows users to start and stop it via a button. We were particularly impressed with how detailed the reporting function is. It gives you detailed insights into your productivity and time management to help you improve your efficiency. Integrating with other applications, such as Notion or Todoist, is also very useful. This is a particular advantage, as processes from other programs can also be integrated, which is not possible with Toogl Tracker itself. Finally, it should be emphasized how Toggl specializes in larger teams and companies. With the team management functions, seamless collaboration is possible, where you can always see how much time and effort has already gone into a project.
Performance	9.0 TimeOWare works reliably, with no noticeable slowdowns or performance issues during use. The extension runs in the background and provides real-time updates on time spent without affecting browser speed.	8.0 In our tests, Toggl Track worked reliably and without any major technical problems on various platforms. However, some users reported occasional synchronization problems when switching between devices in the reviews. The automatic start of time tracking also worked well, only an automatic stop, e.g. when closing the browser, would be desirable. In our test, the timer continued to run for hours because the task was forgotten to end when the browser was closed.
Design	7.5 The design of TimeOWare is clear and intuitive, making it easy to find your way around immediately. All available functions can be used directly. The minimalist interface ensures that users are clearly shown which websites may pose problems for their digital well-being. In our tests, however, we found that there could be a little more customization options to adapt the displays to our own needs.	8.3 The design of Toggl Track with its basic functions is clear and intuitive. The dashboard is well organized and provides quick access to the most important functions. When users get to the advanced features, the design could be a little more self-explanatory. It is currently a little confusing and users have to find their way around first.
Value for Money	9.0 As a completely free tool, TimeOWare offers excellent value for money as it provides essential time management features at no cost whatsoever. The open-source nature of the extension also adds value as it allows users to review and modify the code if desired. The only reason it doesn't get full marks is that some features offered by competitors are not yet available.	8.0 Toggl Track offers a free plan with basic features. If you only want to track your time and only do this on your own, you get a good time-performance ratio here. However, if you want to use additional functions such as detailed analyses, the premium plans are necessary. For many who only want to use it as a time management tool, the price will probably put them off. If you need and use all the functions, the price-performance ratio with the comprehensive functions and integrations is perfect. For teams and companies, the investment can also be justified by the productivity gains and insights offered.
Ease of Use	8.5 TimeOWare is easy to use, with little set-up time. Once installed, it starts tracking time immediately. Likewise, the limited settings are self-explanatory and should be easy for anyone to understand. In our tests, we noticed that if several tabs are opened next to each other, they are also added up in the extension at the same time. The total number of hours is therefore higher than the actual number in the browser. This can be somewhat confusing for new users.	7.0 The Installation and use of the basic functions are very intuitive. No user should have any problems tracking their times here. However, if users want to use the advanced functions, they will need to think a lot about it and take some time to understand everything. There is still room for improvement here so that every user can use them straight away.
Security & Privacy	10 TimeOWare is characterized by security and privacy, as it does not transmit any user data to the outside world and all information is only stored offline on the user's device. This privacy-focused approach is a key benefit for users who are concerned about data security. Users can also check the code used on GitHub themselves if they have any concerns.	8.7 Toggl Track protects user data with standard encryption to protect information and offers options for two-factor authentication. The data protection guidelines are transparent so that everyone can read how their data is handled. The only point deduction is that it would be desirable to be able to control which data authorizations you want to assign yourself. This is also evident from user reviews.
Conclusion	TimeOWare is a great choice for anyone who wants to manage their online time more effectively and realize how much time is spent on websites. Its simple design and privacy-focused approach make it, in our opinion, a standout option in the time management space. We felt in testing that a little more customization and even more features could further improve the extension. Overall, however, we think TimeOWare is already a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their digital well-being.	Toggl Track is a reliable tool for both individuals and teams who want to improve their time management. Its comprehensive functions make it an indispensable tool, especially for advanced users. However, the standard user might be a little overwhelmed at first. While it stands out for its numerous integrations, some users might find the price a little too high. Overall, Toggl Track offers good value for money for anyone who can handle its numerous functions.
