A privacy-first browser extension that renders navigation history as an interactive graph of sessions, hubs, and attention.

A map of how you move through the web

Outdegree records browser navigations as a directed graph. It can show the sites that act as hubs, the paths within a session, and how attention changes across a day, week, month, or year.

Privacy is enforced structurally. The extension has no host permissions, no content scripts, and a content security policy that blocks network egress. Data stays in the browser unless the user explicitly exports it.

The graph engine is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, with an event-sourced model that keeps the visualization flexible as new views are added.
