Example work

No screenshotsWe never capture your screen.
There is no screen-capture code in the extension or the dashboard, for your work sites or anywhere else. What gets recorded is time and counts: when a session started, when a task was completed, and how long it took.
No keystrokesNothing you type is recorded.
On the sites you connect, the extension watches for one thing: the keyboard shortcut you choose as your submit action. Every other key press is discarded the moment it happens. Nothing you type is stored - not on our servers, and not on your own device.
No task contentYour work stays completely private.
Prompts, answers, ratings, and comments are not recorded. The submit button you select stays configured on your device. If you enable allocated-time capture, the extension parses the expected-time field you select and syncs the numeric duration with your task record. The source text is not sent.
You choose the sitesYou're in control, always.
The extension runs only on websites you explicitly connect, and only after Chrome asks your permission for that specific site. It has no access to the rest of your browsing, and your work records carry no website address or page path.

What we actually collect

The Chrome Web Store lists three data categories for the extension. Google writes the category names and picks the examples shown under them; here is what each one is for RaterSidekick.

User activity: When your work sessions start and end, when you complete a task, and how long it took.; Never covers: What you type, the content of the page, or where else you browse.
Personally identifiable information: The email address on your RaterSidekick account, and the account it stores your records under.; Never covers: Your home address, your phone number, or your sign-in details for any rating platform.
Authentication information: The sign-in token that keeps you signed in, held on your device and sent only to RaterSidekick.; Never covers: Your password. You type it on our sign-in provider's page, and it never passes through RaterSidekick.

Own your work

One private record. Everything you need.

RaterSidekick gives you a clear, accurate view of your work across platforms - so you can track, analyze, and grow with confidence. When a platform shuts down its dashboard, you keep yours.

Import history

Bring your history with you.

Import spreadsheet, Clockify, or platform export history so your record starts complete. Imported rows stay separate from tracked sessions - totals and charts show both.

Auto tracking

Tracking that starts when you do.

The extension begins tracking automatically when you start a task on a website you designated - and pauses when you step away. Active time, current task, and session controls stay one click away.

Why it matters

Your work is spread across platforms. Your record should not be.

AI contractors often work across separate dashboards, projects, rates, and reporting systems. One platform may show hours. Another may show tasks. Another may only show earnings after a delay.

RaterSidekick gives you your own private work hub before you need to reconstruct anything from memory: projects, sessions, task activity, estimated earnings, goals, and platform history captured as you work.

How it works

Upload your offer. See your pay set up in about a minute.

Upload your offer and our AI sets up your pay. You check it, then keep your own record of time and tasks.

Step 01

Upload your offer

A PDF, a photo or a screenshot of your pay terms. Or type how you’re paid, like “$20 an hour”.

Step 02

Check your pay

See your rate, any limits and your pay period, read from your offer. One click saves it.

Step 03

See what your work really pays

Chrome extension, optional. It records your time and tasks on the sites you choose.

Add to Chrome ->

Or import. Spreadsheets, Clockify, and platform reports.

Import history ->

Compatibility

Runs beside platform tools, not instead of them.

If a platform requires Insightful, Hubstaff, or its own dashboard, keep using it. RaterSidekick is not employer monitoring software and does not replace those tools. It is designed to run separately as your private work-hub layer for your own records.

Private project, session, task, and earnings history

No screenshots, keystroke logging, screen recording, or task-content capture

Works only on the websites you choose

Common questions

No, it's optional. It's the quickest way to keep your record when you're comfortable using it and your project allows browser extensions. If not, import your history from spreadsheets, Clockify, or platform exports.

No. RaterSidekick does not save prompts, answers, submissions, ratings, comments, client work content, screenshots, or keystrokes. It keeps private work metadata such as platform, project/profile, session time, task count/type where supported, estimated earnings context, and timestamps.

No. RaterSidekick is not employer monitoring software and does not replace platform-required tools. If a platform requires Insightful, Hubstaff, or its own tracker, keep using that tool. RaterSidekick is designed to run separately as your private work-record layer and only tracks the websites/actions you configure.

No. Platform dashboards and required trackers still matter. RaterSidekick gives you your own private record beside them, so you can review projects, sessions, tasks, estimated earnings, goals, and history without relying only on memory.

No. It cannot force a platform to change a report or accept your numbers. It helps you keep a clearer independent record so you are not starting from zero when something looks wrong.

No. RaterSidekick does not take screenshots, log keystrokes, record your screen, save prompts, save answers, or copy task content. It only records private work metadata for websites/actions you configure.

No. Chrome uses one label for every extension that reacts to a click or a key press, and there is no finer setting available to us. RaterSidekick reacts to two things, on the sites you choose: the submit button you point it at during setup, and the shortcut you set. Nothing you type is recorded - not on our servers, and not on your device. What reaches your account is the outcome: a task was completed, when it happened, and how long it took.

Any website you designate. Common examples include Outlier, Mercor, DataAnnotation, Scale, TELUS, Alignerr, micro1, Handshake, Ethos AI, TryRating, and Apple Baseline workflows where applicable.

A project is one piece of work you’re paid for, like a contract on Outlier or a DataAnnotation project. Each has its own pay terms, work website and record, so you can see what each one really pays, or everything together.
