A browser extension (for now only Chrome) that estimates the environmental impact of your AI interactions.
- Real-time Energy Tracking: Monitors your ChatGPT conversations and calculates energy consumption
- EcoLogits v0.9.x Methodology: Energy estimates based on academic research (EcoLogits methodology)
- Relatable Equivalents: Understand your impact through everyday comparisons:
- 📺 YouTube streaming time
- 💡 60W light bulb runtime
- 📱 Phone charges
- 🛗 Elevator travel
- Daily & Lifetime Stats: Track both your daily usage and cumulative impact
- Privacy-Focused: No data collection, all tracking happens locally
This extension tracks messages the user sends to ChatGPT, tries to catch the number of output tokens by the models based on the character size of it's response, then it calculates the energy footprint.

- Works exclusively with ChatGPT for now, with plans to support more AI platforms
- First version will soon be published on the Chrome Web Store
- Open to contributions
