Browser tools and your count

The tools save the local calendar dates on which you finish a practice in this browser to calculate your count. Your answers and selections are not stored or sent to us. Clear your count from the tools page or clear this site’s browser data. These dates do not transfer to the app. Browser storage is not separately encrypted by Outwait.

Website hosting

Vercel hosts this website and receives request information, including IP addresses, requested paths and browser details, to deliver and secure it. We do not add website analytics, advertising trackers, mailing-list forms or cookies. Hosting request records follow Vercel’s retention controls; we do not claim a verified fixed retention period.

Chrome extension

The extension reads supported public post text, links, labels, post and account identifiers, images and readable video frames on enabled X, Reddit and Instagram pages to decide what to cover. Private messages and compose areas are excluded from the supported classification flow. Bundled TensorFlow.js code and model weights classify images locally; the extension does not upload post text or pixels to our AI backend for classification.

Chrome matches known-site and user-selected domain rules locally. The extension does not retain a chronological browsing history. To read pixels, it may reload an already-visible image from a platform media server. That server receives the image request and network metadata, including IP, even with anonymous CORS and no referrer.

Chrome local storage holds preferences, optional imported goal text, salted hashes for personal hide rules and count deduplication, counts, recent user-started support moments and an optional local reminder choice. Counting starts enabled. Counts retain up to four weekly buckets and 5,000 item records, pruned when accessed; up to 2,000 rules persist until cleared. Up to 20 recent support moments include an identifier, time, optional goal identifier and your optional answer. Settings and goals remain until changed or deleted. Credentials left by older paired versions are unused by this candidate and are removed when you delete extension data.

The extension has no Mac pairing or app handoff channel. Talk and explanation controls open plain localized Outwait web pages only when selected; their URLs contain no moment, answer, browsing address, source tag or query string. Support moments stay in this browser. “Remind me here” stores one local boolean, with no signup, polling or notification. A future extension update may show a verified App Store QR once in the popup and clear that choice; this candidate has no active store destination.

You can disable counting, clear counts or rules, turn off the reminder, or delete extension data and disable protection. A minimal disabled preference remains. Deleting extension data or uninstalling does not delete copies transferred to the app by older versions. Incognito requires Chrome permission; local counts, reminder choices or moments may still be stored and extension storage can be shared. Local extension storage is not separately encrypted by Outwait.

Outwait's use and transfer of user data adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Data is used for the described features, not advertising, sale or credit decisions.
