Measure the ENTROPY of your attention

Negentropy measures the entropy of your digital attention in real time — right in your browser. Most tools tell you HOW LONG you spent. Negentropy tells you HOW ENTROPIC your information environment was. Five information-theoretic metrics. Zero cloud. 100% local.
A small thing that would make this way more useful for me: a per-tab entropy breakdown so I can finally see which tabs are the chaotic ones instead of just the whole browser average. Bonus points if you could flag specific sites contributing the most noise.
@melahat45588 Thanks Melahat! Per-tab entropy breakdown is a great idea — right now we compute at the browser level, but the architecture already tracks domain-level transitions. Surfacing per-tab scores and a "top noise contributors" list is going into the next version. Would you want it as a separate dashboard view, or inline on the floating overlay?
Running Negentropy for a full work week and exporting a simple report (PDF or CSV) showing daily entropy scores, the five metric breakdowns, and maybe a top 3 "most chaotic sessions" list would be incredibly useful for spotting patterns and actually changing habits.
@aynur1896015 Really appreciate this — you're basically describing v1.5. Weekly entropy report with daily scores, metric breakdowns, and "most chaotic sessions" is high on the roadmap. CSV export is straightforward to add. Would you prefer PDF or CSV as the primary format? (Or both?)
finally someone is measuring the chaos of what i'm actually reading instead of just how long i've been staring at the screen. the local-only thing is honestly the best part, feels like the tool respects my attention the way it wants me to respect my own.
@sedefs19749 Thank you Sedef — "measuring the chaos of what I'm actually reading instead of how long I've been staring" is exactly the insight we built this for. And you're right, local-only isn't just a privacy feature, it's a philosophical choice: a tool that asks you to respect your own attention shouldn't be harvesting it. Would love to hear what patterns you notice after using it for a few days.
