Habitica Extension

A simple launcher that opens up your Habitica dashboard in a new tab. It's especially great for Mac users.

Unlike the official Habitica extension, this does not track (nor monitor) your web history.

Check out the repository on GitHub: https://github.com/sdale28/habitica-extension

Note that I do not claim the Habitica site as my own. Habitica is an open source project that helps you form positive habits and break bad ones. This is simply my first extension, designed to make getting to Habitica easier.
