What the extension stores
Saved items (links, titles, YouTube video IDs and timestamps, notes) and your settings are stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local. Screenshots you take are stored locally too: the image in the browser's IndexedDB and a small thumbnail with the item. We don't run a server that receives any of this.
What is sent, and where
Nothing leaves your browser unless you enter a webhook URL. If you do, each saved item is sent to that URL, and only to that URL, in the format shown in the guide. For a screenshot, the image itself is included only if you turn on the "include image" option in the webhook settings. You choose and control the destination. We don't see this data.
When you paste a YouTube link, the extension may ask YouTube's public oEmbed endpoint for the video title. When you paste another link, it may fetch that page to read its title, where Chrome permissions allow.
Permissions
storage | Keep your items and settings. |
sidePanel | Show the watchlist panel. |
tabs, scripting | Read the current tab's URL and title, and the YouTube player's current time, when you save. |
activeTab | Capture a screenshot of the current tab when you use the shortcut or right-click menu. |
contextMenus | The right-click "Save" item. |
alarms | Retry unsent webhook items every minute. |
| YouTube host access | Read the playback position and video title. |
| Optional host access | Not granted at install. Chrome asks you before it is used: for your webhook's host when you save it, and for the panel's Screenshot button on non-YouTube pages. |
Analytics and ads
The extension has no analytics or tracking. A short rotating text line in the panel links to the author's other sites. The links are built into the extension and open in a new tab only when you click them. Nothing is loaded from a server or reported back.
