ADHD Tab Manager is 100% local. All data — sessions, folders, notes, settings — lives in your browser's chrome.storage.local. Nothing is transmitted to any server by us. No account required. No analytics. No tracking.

history | Read-only. ⌘K palette searches your last 7 days of browsing history alongside tabs for quick retrieval. Never modified or cleared by us. | Read only |
tabGroups | Saves group names and colors when you snapshot a session, restores them when you reopen it — so your color-coded organization survives save/restore cycles. | Read + restore structure |
All data is stored in chrome.storage.local, which is sandboxed per-extension. You can delete all data at any time:
The only optional network interaction is the Pro upgrade checkout, which redirects you to Dodo Payments (our payment processor) if you choose to purchase a license. Even then, your tab data never leaves your device — only your email address (for the receipt) is shared with Dodo during checkout. If you never click "Upgrade," no network requests are made beyond downloading the extension itself from the Chrome Web Store.
