Your space stays yours.

Hearthtab is maintained by Michael Brown, 81 AI Solutions. We do not sell your data, track your browsing activity, show advertisements, or include analytics or crash reporting.

What stays on your device

Your settings, name, Me card, saved prompts, notes, tasks, custom links, chosen city, widget positions and appearance are stored in your browser. Uploaded photos and cached wallpapers and weather are stored separately in the browser's IndexedDB storage. There is no account or cloud sync in this version.

Me card and asking another AI

The Me card stays on this device, with your about-you note, goals, answer preferences and saved prompts. To-dos, notes and pinned links are left out of it until you turn those options on. Include Me starts off, so a prompt is only your words until you check it. Copying the card or exporting settings keeps the text on your machine; keep the export private.

Ask opens the assistant you pick in a new tab, or up to three tabs when you choose more than one. No API key is stored and Hearthtab does not receive the prompt. If that site can take a prompt in its address, the words you submit, and the Me card when you include it, are placed in that link. Gemini, Muse, and any prompt too long for a link, are copied so you can paste them. A shared prompt link keeps the words in the address fragment, which is not sent to a server. The assistant then handles the text under its own policy. This is separate from optional Plus briefing, which does not read the Me card.

Search uses your browser’s provider

When you submit a search, Hearthtab passes the words to your browser’s default search engine through the browser’s search API. That provider processes the search under its own policy. Hearthtab does not change your default engine or keep a search history.

Optional weather

Weather starts off. If you add the widget and choose Find city and enable weather, the extension asks for permission to contact Open-Meteo. City search sends your search text to its geocoding service. Choosing a city sends that city's coordinates to its forecast service. These services also receive your IP address as part of the connection. Hearthtab does not request or read your device's GPS location.

Weather refreshes about every 15 minutes while its widget is visible, with saved data available offline. Disconnect weather updates in the widget’s settings to stop requests. Saved weather remains on this device. Open-Meteo may keep operational logs; see its terms and privacy policy. No notes, tasks, custom links or browsing history are sent to it.

Optional online wallpapers

Online wallpapers require a separately configured Unsplash proxy and your permission. If enabled, the proxy and Unsplash image servers receive your IP address and wallpaper requests. Selecting a wallpaper sends the download event required by Unsplash. Your notes, tasks and browsing history are not included. Disconnect online wallpapers to stop requests; cached and uploaded images still work offline. See Unsplash’s privacy policy.

Local fonts and code

Fonts, scripts and the bundled quote collection ship with the extension. Fonts are not fetched from Google or another font service. Hearthtab does not read the content of other tabs, your browser history or your browser bookmarks.

Backups and deletion

Settings export creates a local JSON file containing personal content, including the Me card, saved prompts, notes, tasks, links and the selected weather city. Photos and the weather cache are not included. Keep exports private and keep original photo files separately. Import is processed on your device and does not upload the JSON to a server.

You can remove individual notes, tasks, links, widgets and uploaded photos through the extension. To erase all stored extension data, use your browser’s extension-storage controls or remove Hearthtab and its stored data. Browser storage and files you export remain under your control.

Questions and changes

Use the support link provided with the extension’s distribution. If a future release adds a service that handles data differently, its disclosures and consent controls must explain that change before it is enabled.
