Depletion Clock — daveywhitcraft

Depletion Clock is a poetic browser extension that visualizes the hidden material and ecological footprint of your browsing activity.

It estimates:

• Micrograms of lithium extracted
• Liters of water used by data centers
• "Extractive weight" based on data transfer

Based on real-time data usage, this ambient widget runs silently in the corner of your screen, offering a haunting counterpoint to the illusion of digital immateriality.

No data is stored or transmitted — it runs locally in your browser.
