Is there a device that can plug into a wall switch to measure what’s plugged into it to measure what current is being plugged?

I don’t mean a clamp meter at the breaker, I want to measure what current is pulled from the socket.

So say I would plug in “the device” and then plug into it an extension to be able to see what all the things plugged into the extension are pulling.

I know it’s rated at 13A but I want to see what’s being pulled.

Thanks

They look decent thanks for advice. As I say I want it primarily to see what current it’s pulling in total, are they pretty accurate? Anyone use a specific one/type/manufacturer?

Reasonably accurate, more accurate with the larger loads, than the small ones.
