Currently, web monetization providers doesn't have a feature to show subscribers a breakdown of where their money went. This is due to the fact that providers don't track or know where their subscribers go, . It's a tough balance between privacy and data. in the name of privacy This is why I built PayTrackr. What is it? It is a browser extension that lets you track and manage your micropayments to web monetized websites, having a web monetization provider membership (i.e. Coil). PayTrackr stores all of your micropayments locally on your device. Only you have access to your data. Not even the web monetization providers can read your data. PayTrackr is 100% open source software. The source code for PayTrackr is hosted on and everyone is free to review, audit, and contribute to the PayTrackr codebase. GitHub PayTrackr is currently in so there will be changes anytime soon. beta testing Download links - Chrome - Firefox What are the features? Here are the current features of PayTrackr: - Aggregated breakdown on how much went to each site in total. Dashboard - History of micropayments to websites with web monetization. Recent Payments - Get notified when a certain amount is reached. Payment Alerts - Export micropayments history to csv/xlsx.
