| Focus session statistics (minutes focused per day, keyed by date) | chrome.storage.local | Powers the statistics heatmap (Premium feature) |
| License key and activation record | chrome.storage.sync | Unlocks Premium features; synced across your Chrome devices signed into the same Google account, if Chrome Sync is enabled. If Chrome Sync is off, this data remains local to your device. |
| UI preferences (theme, mute) | localStorage | Remembers your visual and sound preferences |
When Chrome Sync is enabled, chrome.storage.sync data is stored
by Google on servers associated with your Google account, under
Google's Privacy Policy.
This applies only to the license record if you have activated Premium.
If Chrome Sync is disabled, this data never leaves your device.
The extension makes network requests only for license verification. No other data is ever sent over the network.
