Manual install is temporary

Why a manual install? Loading the extension in Developer mode is an interim route while we finish the legal and organisation paperwork required to publish in the browser stores. Once Keepr is listed, installs become one click and update automatically — this guide will point you there.

1. Download the extension

If the download hasn’t started, go back to Downloads and press “Download extension” on the Edge card. You’ll get a file named keepr-extension.zip — unzip it into a folder you’ll keep (e.g. Documents/Keepr). Edge loads the extension from this folder, so don’t delete it afterwards.

2. Open the extensions page

Paste into the address bar and press Enter. Turn on “Developer mode” — the switch is at the bottom of the left sidebar.

3. Load the unpacked extension

Press “Load unpacked” and choose the folder you unzipped in step 1. Keepr appears in the list; pin it from the puzzle-piece menu so the timer button is always in the toolbar.

4. Connect your account

Open the Keepr icon, paste a personal API token (Settings → API tokens → New token with “Time tracking” set to Write and “Projects & tasks” set to Read) and press Connect. Your running timers show up immediately.
