# Suggestions and badges in the extension

> How I've had it suggests one small change at a time from how your last week went, and the badges it gives for time won back: streaks, hours back and days without feeds.

The extension's popup shows at most one suggestion at a time, picked from how your last week went, and a row of badges for the time you've won back. Both stay in your browser, worked out from the same daily numbers as your [dashboard](https://ivehadit.app/docs/dashboard-and-stats).

## What does it suggest?

Each suggestion is one small change with a button that makes it. They come from the last seven days:

- **Keep a part open.** You stopped at the same part of a site, like Instagram notifications, three or more times this week. It offers to [keep that part open](https://ivehadit.app/docs/keep-parts-open).
- **Ask first on an untouched site.** An Untouched site took 15 minutes a day or more. It offers [Ask first](https://ivehadit.app/docs/site-modes).
- **No feeds on a site.** You used all of a site's daily limit on four or more days. It offers No feeds, with messages and links still working.
- **A lower budget.** You stayed well under your daily budget every day for a week. It offers a budget that matches.
- **No feeds before noon.** You went over budget on several days, and most of your reaching for feeds happened in the morning. It offers [no feeds before noon](https://ivehadit.app/docs/no-feeds-before-noon).

Press **Not now** and that suggestion stays quiet for two weeks. A suggestion that loosens something, like keeping a part open, [waits 24 hours](https://ivehadit.app/docs/changes-wait-a-day) like any other looser change.

## Which badges are there?

| Badge | How you earn it |
|---|---|
| First feed stopped | Turn back at a shut feed |
| 3 days on budget | Stay under your daily budget 3 days running |
| An hour back | Get 60 minutes back |
| A day without feeds | Spend a whole day at 0 min on social |
| A week on budget | Stay under your daily budget 7 days running |
| Down on last week | Spend a fifth less time than the week before |
| Half the scrolling | Halve your first week's daily average |
| Ten hours back | Get 10 hours back |
| A month on budget | Stay under your daily budget 30 days running |

Each badge is earned once and kept. The popup celebrates a new one the first time it shows it, and names the next one to aim for. Time back is an estimate: each feed you turn back from counts as about 7 minutes, the length of a typical unplanned scroll, and leaving at the [scroll check](https://ivehadit.app/docs/scroll-check) counts as 3.

When you turn back at a shut feed or a pause, the screen shows how many minutes you just won back, like "+7 min back", for a second before it closes.
