1. Getting started

Install from the Chrome Web Store

Open the Lux Time listing on the Chrome Web Store
Click Add to Chrome
Confirm the install in the popup

That's it. Your 7-day free trial starts automatically the moment Lux Time installs — no credit card, no signup, no account.

Browser requirements: Lux Time runs on Chromium-based desktop browsers — Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera. It does not work on Firefox, Safari, or any mobile browser.

Pin the icon (optional but recommended)

Click the puzzle-piece icon in your Chrome toolbar, find Lux Time, and click the pin icon next to it. This keeps the Lux Time icon visible in your toolbar so you can open the popup with one click.

2. Using Lux Time

What Lux Time actually does

Lux Time runs quietly in the background. Whenever you visit Claude, it injects your real local time directly into your prompts — automatically, with no input from you. Claude reads the time and responds correctly instead of hedging or hallucinating. There's nothing for you to type, click, or remember.

Lux Time also injects time on 10 other AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Bing, Grok, You.com, Poe, Character.AI, Microsoft 365 Copilot). On those platforms it's a cross-platform backup — most already have server-side clocks, but Lux Time gives you a consistent time-context layer wherever you work.

Supported AI platforms:

Claude (claude.ai) — primary use case
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Bing Chat, Grok, You.com, Poe, Character.AI, Microsoft 365 Copilot — bonus context

Test it in 30 seconds

Open Claude in your browser, then ask:

"What time is it right now? Be specific — give me the exact time and timezone."

You'll get back your real local time. Without Lux Time, Claude knows the date but not your current time of day — it'll guess, hedge, or confidently hallucinate the wrong time. With Lux Time installed, the answer is precise. Try the same test in ChatGPT to see the difference: ChatGPT already has a server-side clock, so it works either way — Lux Time is the fix specifically for Claude.

Try follow-up questions that depend on knowing the time:

"Is the New York Stock Exchange open right now?"
"What time should I leave to make my 6pm meeting if it takes 25 minutes to get there?"
"How many hours until midnight in my timezone?"

Privacy note: The time is computed entirely in your browser from your operating system clock. No data is sent to any server. See the Privacy Policy for details.

3. Timers and alarms

The popup

Click the Lux Time icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the popup. You'll see your current time, date, timezone, plus controls for timers and alarms.

Timer

The popup includes a stopwatch timer for tracking how long something takes — useful for focused work sprints. Press Start, then Reset when done. The timer keeps running in the background even when the popup is closed.

Alarms (HH:MM scheduled)

Set scheduled alarms for specific times of day. The alarm will fire a Chrome notification at the specified time, with an optional label.

Open the Lux Time popup
Click into the time field under Alarms
Set a time (e.g., 14:30 for 2:30pm)
Add an optional label (e.g., "Stand up", "Take medication", "Market opens")
Click + Add Alarm

Alarms persist across browser restarts and fire reliably even when the Lux Time popup is closed.

Notification permissions: The first time you set an alarm, Chrome may ask for permission to show notifications. Allow this — without it, alarms can't fire visibly.

AI-controlled alarms — coming in V3.1: Right now, alarms are set manually in the popup. In the next release, you'll be able to ask Claude things like "set a 25-minute pomodoro" or "remind me when LSE opens" and Lux Time will schedule the notification automatically. Free for all Pro customers when it ships.

4. After your free trial

What happens at day 7

Seven days after install, the trial expires. The extension stops injecting time into AI sites and the popup will prompt you to enter a licence key. Your alarms and timers stay saved — nothing is deleted — but the time-injection feature pauses until you upgrade.

Upgrading to Lux Time Pro

Click Get lifetime access in the popup, or visit the pricing page
Pay $14.99 USD via Stripe (one-time, no subscription)
Within a minute or two, your licence key arrives in your email inbox
Click the Lux Time icon, paste the key into the popup, press Enter

That's it — Lux Time Pro is unlocked permanently on this browser profile. The licence key never expires.

If your key doesn't arrive within 5 minutes: check your spam/junk folder first. If it's still missing, email support@luxwealthgroup.com.au with your Stripe receipt and we'll resend within 1 business day.

Using your key on multiple devices

One purchase covers personal use across your own devices. Install Lux Time on each browser, then paste the same licence key into the popup on each one. We don't enforce a hard device cap — but please don't share your key with people outside your household. The extension is $14.99 once, forever; we keep it cheap because we trust people to do the right thing.

5. Troubleshooting

"Claude says it can't tell me the time"

A few things to check:

Is Lux Time installed and enabled? Visit chrome://extensions and confirm.
Try refreshing the Claude page — Lux Time injects on page load, so a tab opened before installing won't have it active until refreshed.
Open the Lux Time popup and confirm the clock is showing the correct local time.
Try a clear time-keyword question like "what time is it right now in my timezone?" — Lux Time triggers on time-related words.

"My licence key isn't being accepted"

Copy the entire key including the LWT- prefix and the dashes
Check there are no leading or trailing spaces
Keys are case-sensitive (all uppercase)
If you've recently purchased, give it 2–3 minutes for the key to be issued

"My alarms aren't firing"

Check Chrome notification permissions: chrome://settings/content/notifications — Lux Time should be allowed
Confirm your computer is awake and Chrome is running at the alarm time
Check macOS Focus mode / Windows Focus Assist — these can suppress notifications globally

"I'm getting double notifications"

You probably have Lux Time installed in more than one browser profile. Open chrome://extensions in each profile and disable the duplicates.
