Tuckit is a timer. It has no servers, no account, and no analytics. Everything it records is written to your own browser, and the only data that ever leaves your computer is what Chrome's own sync feature carries — described in full below.
All of this is written by the extension into your browser's local storage.
| What | Where it lives |
|---|---|
| Running timers |
chrome.storage.local — on this device only. Cleared when the timer
ends.
|
| Session history | IndexedDB, on this device only. One record per finished session or break: how long you asked for, how long it ran, when it started and ended, whether it completed, and the label you typed. |
| Settings |
chrome.storage.sync — appearance, palette, rope, timer lengths, which
edge the tab sits on, and your list of blocked sites.
|
| Saved routines | chrome.storage.sync — the name and structure of routines you save. |
| Temporary state |
chrome.storage.session — which blocking rules are active and pending
notifications. Discarded when you close the browser.
|
Your settings and saved routines use chrome.storage.sync.
That is Chrome's own sync feature, not ours. If you are signed into Chrome with sync
switched on, Chrome uploads that data to your Google account and mirrors it to your
other computers.
This includes your list of blocked sites. It is handled by Google under Google's privacy policy; we never receive it, and we have no server for it to be sent to. If you would rather it stayed put, turn off extension syncing in Chrome's own sync settings.
Your session history is not affected. It lives in IndexedDB, which Chrome does not sync, so it never leaves the computer it was recorded on.
The timer has to be reachable from any page, so a small script runs on the pages you open to draw the tab on the edge. It reads one thing from the page: the background colour directly behind the tab, so the tab can pick a contrasting shade and stay visible. That colour is used immediately and never stored or sent anywhere. No page text, form data, URL history, or content is read, kept, or transmitted.
Used only to close the sites you have added to your own blocklist, and only while a focus session is running. The rules are built on your device from the list you typed. Nothing about your browsing is recorded or reported.
Notifications tell you when a session ends. Alarms and the offscreen document are how a timer stays accurate when Chrome puts the extension to sleep. Storage is where the items in the table above are kept.
Removing Tuckit from Chrome deletes everything it has stored, including your history. There is nothing held anywhere else, so there is nothing for you to request or for us to delete on your behalf.
Tuckit collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
If this policy changes in a way that affects what is stored or where it goes, the date at the top will change and the extension's release notes will say so. Tuckit does not have a server, so there is no version of this that can change silently.
