Overview

Can I Go Home Yet? — The only extension that matters at 2:59 PM.

One click. One answer. Can you go home yet?

This extension puts a live countdown to home time right in your browser toolbar. Click the icon and instantly see whether it's time to leave — with a beautiful, animated popup that matches canigohomeyet.org.

HOW IT WORKS

• Before 9 AM → "Yes." — You're not even meant to be here yet.
• 9 AM to 3 PM (1:30 PM on Tue/Fri) → "No." — with a live countdown timer
• After 3 PM (1:30 PM on Tue/Fri) → "Yes!" — Get out of here!
• Weekends → "???" — Why are you even on this page?
• School holidays → "???" — It's school holidays...
• Public holidays → "???" — It's a public holiday...

FEATURES

🕐 Live Countdown
A real-time countdown to home time, updating every second. Watch the hours, minutes, and seconds tick away.

🎃 Seasonal Themes
The extension transforms throughout the year:
• Halloween (October) — spooky orange theme
• Christmas (Dec 1–25) — festive red with days-until counter
• New Year (Dec 26–Jan 2) — gold celebration theme
• Valentine's Day (Feb 1–14) — pink love theme
• Easter (2 weeks before–Easter Monday) — purple spring theme

Each theme comes with its own icon, color scheme, and rotating witty messages.

📅 Holiday Awareness
Automatically detects NSW school holidays and public holidays for 2026–2027. No false countdowns on days you're already free.

🏖️ Holiday Countdown
When school holidays are within 30 days, you'll see a countdown to freedom at the bottom of the popup.

🎨 Beautiful Design
Dark theme with subtle noise texture, animated glow effects, and smooth fade-in animations. Uses Outfit and JetBrains Mono fonts for a clean, modern look.

🕐 Local Time
Uses your local timezone for the countdown, so it works wherever you are.
