Nothing Hours

Nothing Hours is a small experiment built around remaining on one page. It shows personal elapsed time and a collective total toward a displayed goal of one million hours. Alongside the totals is a live count of people doing nothing right now, and the only instruction on the page is "Stay here. Do nothing." During this first look, the personal display advanced after the page loaded. That observation does not validate how the shared total is calculated.

The visible page has a share button and a privacy link, with no account form or feed. Its appeal is the lack of another task to complete. The footer sums it up as "No ads. No feed. No purpose." The one money-related link is Support nothing, which goes to a Stripe donation page, so there's nothing to buy and no upgrade. Sharing, returning sessions and background-tab timing are Not reviewed.

The privacy page says the browser stores a personal timer and random session ID. It also names Vercel Web Analytics and a hosted global counter. According to the policy, last updated in September 2026, Vercel hosts the site, Supabase runs the counter, and analytics cover anonymous page views, approximate location, device and browser. It says there are no accounts, no advertising or tracking cookies and no selling of data, and that some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. The section meant to name the data controller and a contact is empty, so the site doesn't say who runs it. Those disclosures matter alongside the site's minimal interface. Storage behavior, analytics implementation and counter accuracy are Not reviewed.
