About

Scout - Online Accountability is a browser extension designed to facilitate communication and transparency by monitoring specified online activities. This tool allows users to proactively manage their web experience by setting up a list of websites and keywords for monitoring. It generates real-time notifications with timestamped screenshots, which are sent directly to an accountability partner's email without storing any user history or requiring external applications. Scout is particularly useful for parents or individuals needing to ensure adherence to digital habits, making it a valuable tool for maintaining healthy internet usage without compromising privacy. The extension is lightweight, easy to use, and compatible with various browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and others that support Chrome extensions. It emphasizes user control, allowing settings to be adjusted at any time, ensuring that accountability is voluntary and not intrusive.
