Scout - Online Accountability – Converts monitored browsing into direct communication

Summary: Scout is a browser extension that monitors user-defined sites or keywords and sends screenshots with URL, page title, and timestamp directly to a designated accountability partner. It emphasizes voluntary transparency and communication without storing browsing history or screenshots.

What it does

Scout tracks only specified sites or keywords in the user’s URL and automatically sends captured screenshots and metadata to a trusted partner’s inbox without storing data or using dashboards.

Who it's for

It is designed for individuals seeking a lightweight, consent-based tool to maintain online accountability through direct communication with trusted partners.

Why it matters

Scout addresses the need for a non-invasive, privacy-conscious alternative to traditional accountability tools that rely on extensive tracking and shame-based methods.
