Actor Tally is a private tally counter for people who watch a lot of video. One click logs who you just watched. Over time, you get a personal analytics dashboard nobody else can see — because, by design, nobody else can.
Free · No account · No ads · Zero network access — verifiably.
Version 4.0 · Seven languages · Four permissions, no host access.
Most apps ask you to trust a privacy policy. Actor Tally doesn't ask you to trust anything — the extension contains no code that can connect to the internet. No server, no account, no analytics. Every entry lives in your browser's local storage on your device, and there is no mechanism by which anyone — including the developer — could read it.
Anyone technical enough to open the extension's code can confirm there is no network call in it. That's the entire architecture.
Set a PIN and your data is properly encrypted at rest (PBKDF2 + AES-256-GCM via your browser's built-in Web Crypto) — not just hidden behind a lock screen. A locked tab holds nothing decrypted in memory at all. Press Esc and the dashboard becomes an ordinary, editable to-do list.
Full export and import, a 30-day recoverable trash, twenty steps of undo and redo. Every field of a log can be corrected after the fact. Your history moves to a new computer as a file you carry — not an account someone hosts.
No guilt-trip streaks, no fake scarcity, no notifications. Because it can't connect to anything, there are no ads and never will be.
On any video page, click the icon. It reads the page — title, cast links, metadata — and suggests likely names, ranked by confidence.
Tap the right name, or several. Not listed? Start typing and it autocompletes from everyone you've logged before. Optional star rating and tags.
One tap logs it, with a running count. You never leave the page. A manual picker handles sites that defeat automatic detection.
A log can carry as much or as little as you like: a star rating, tags, who was billed as a co-star, how long you watched (typed, or timed with the built-in stopwatch), a place, and — if you turn it on — how far into the video you were, so you can pick a moment back up later. Watched something on your phone or your TV? Add it by hand from the dashboard; it becomes an ordinary log.
Version 3 counted what you watched. Version 4 is about reading it back — and about being able to fix anything you got wrong.
A rotating line of plain-language observations about your own history — busiest weekday, night-owl share, longest streak. And when you want to ask your own question: seven measures × fourteen groupings, plotted as a line, bar or area, optionally through your current filters.
Give a log a duration — or run the stopwatch — and Time spent turns it into totals, a length distribution and a month-by-month trend. Length also becomes something you can filter and chart by.
Label a log with where you were. Give a place coordinates and it appears on an offline vector world map — Natural Earth data ships inside the extension, so the map draws without a single request leaving your machine.
Mark who was billed as a co-star rather than a lead. Co-star billing is its own filter, its own chart grouping and its own badge — and a log with three names still counts as one log everywhere it should.
Open any log's details to see every field in full — including the whole link, which no table can show — and correct any of it: date and time, rating, site, title, link, actors, tags, place, duration, video position.
A settings drawer with a pink theme, banners, panel visibility, drag-to-reorder layout and row limits. A monthly goal ring, day streaks, and a log count drawn as tally marks you can save as an image.
Also new: a per-day breakdown between any two dates, a weekday × hour heatmap of when you log, four separate logs on one install (each with its own data and its own word for “actor”, all behind the same PIN), redo alongside undo, and a bug-report link that opens Telegram, X or the store — the extension still cannot send anything itself.
Everything you log feeds a full dashboard in its own tab:
Every number counts a log, not a name: a single scene with three performers is one entry in your day count, your streak and your heatmap — and three appearances only where appearances are what's being counted.
Keep separate histories side by side — up to four, each with its own entries, aliases, places, photos and trash. Each page can be renamed, and the word “actor” itself can be replaced throughout the interface with whatever word fits what you're tracking. The popup remembers which page you're logging into; the dashboard switches with one click.

Arabic ships with a fully mirrored right-to-left layout — not translated text bolted onto a left-to-right design. Actor Tally was built as an international product from day one.
Yes — fully free, nothing gated, no trial, no premium tier. If it's useful, there's an optional donation link below. Donating changes nothing about what the tool does.
In your browser's local extension storage, on your device. Nowhere else. There is no cloud copy — so back it up with Export if it matters to you.
Your data is encrypted with keys derived from your PIN, on your device. Nobody can recover it — not even the developer. Keep an exported backup somewhere safe.
No. It does nothing in the background — it runs only in the moment you click it.
Open your browser's extension page, inspect the source, and look for any network call — fetch, XHR, WebSocket, beacon. You won't find one. Or watch the network panel while using it: silence.
All of it. Open a log's details and edit its date and time, rating, site, title, link, actors, tags, place, duration or video position. Undo and redo go twenty steps, and deleted logs sit in the trash for 30 days.
Yes — the dashboard has a manual entry form for anything watched off this browser: phone, TV, a friend's place. Pick the date and time and it behaves like any other log.
An optional capture: when armed, logging also records how far into the page's video you were, so you can find that moment again later. It reads the page once, at the instant you press Log — nothing is watched or polled, and nothing leaves your device.
No. The world map is a compressed vector dataset (public-domain Natural Earth) that ships inside the extension and is decoded on your machine. Like everything else here, it works with the network unplugged.
No. Your existing logs, aliases, photos and settings carry over as they are, and the new fields are simply empty until you use them. Exporting a backup before any upgrade is still a good habit.
Actor Tally has no ads and no premium tier — on purpose. If it earns a place in your browser, you can support development. The Telegram channel is also where updates are announced — the extension itself will never notify you of anything, because it can't.
Found a bug? The dashboard has a Report a bug button in its footer that opens Telegram, X or the store's support tab — or write from the support page. Nothing is sent automatically; you write the message yourself.
