Nothing to hide, because nothing leaves.
Effective July 2026. dashi is a product of Mirical LLC. This policy describes exactly what dashi does with your information. The short version: there is no “your information” here to speak of.
What we collect
Nothing. dashi does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal information, usage data, or browsing history. There is no telemetry of any kind, not even anonymous counts.
Where your data lives
Everything the dashboard stores lives in Chrome’s own storage on your device:
| Data | Where it is kept | Ever leaves your device? |
|---|---|---|
| Notes, to-dos, reading list, habits, countdowns, reminders | Chrome local storage, with a copy in Chrome sync storage so they follow you between computers | Only through Chrome Sync, a Google feature, not ours |
| Layout, preferences, quick links | Chrome sync storage (managed by Google Chrome) | Only through Chrome Sync, a Google feature, not ours |
| Location Spoof rules, per-site volume settings | Chrome sync storage | Only through Chrome Sync, a Google feature, not ours |
| Reading list articles (offline bodies, images) | IndexedDB on your device | No |
| Workspaces (saved tabs) | Chrome local storage | No |
| History rules and the count of what they removed | Chrome local storage | No — deliberately, so a list of sites you would rather not keep never roams |
| Recent snapshots, so an accidental delete can be undone | Chrome local storage | No |
| Backup files (optional, off by default) | Your own Downloads folder, in a dashi folder | No — they are written to your disk and go nowhere else |
| Watchlist API key (optional, yours) | Chrome local storage | Only to the market-data provider you chose |
Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it, apart from any backup files you asked it to save — those are yours, and removing them is up to you.
Network requests
dashi is offline-first and makes no requests to any server we operate. A few optional widgets fetch public data, directly from your browser to the provider:
| Widget | Provider | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Weather | Open-Meteo | Coordinates of the locations you save, nothing else |
| Crypto | CoinGecko | The coin ids you follow, nothing else |
| Watchlist (optional) | Finnhub or Alpaca: your choice, your key | Your symbols and your own API key |
The search bar sends nothing to us: pressing Enter navigates your own browser to the engine or site you picked, exactly as typing in the address bar would, and dashi keeps no record of what you searched. Favicons come from Chrome’s local cache and are never fetched from the network. Article text for the reading list is fetched only when you explicitly save or open an article. AI summaries run entirely on Chrome’s built-in on-device model; no text ever leaves the machine.
Permissions, in plain language
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Storage | Where your dashboard lives |
| Alarms | Pomodoro, reminders, and the tab freezer, all timed in the background |
| Notifications (optional) | Alerting you when a reminder or focus session ends. Requested when you set one |
| Tabs, sessions & tab groups (optional) | Workspaces (save and restore windows, including their tab groups) and Tab Janitor (duplicates, stale tabs). Requested when you use them |
| History (optional) | The History widget, and Off the record. Used to read, search and delete your own history on this machine, and to remove matching visits as they happen. Requested when you add the widget or turn the mode on |
| Downloads (optional) | Writing automatic backup files to your Downloads folder, and nothing else. Requested inside the click that turns backups on, and handed straight back if you turn them off |
| Search | Running a search you typed in the dashboard through the default engine you chose in Chrome, rather than a search engine we picked for you |
| Power | Keep Awake: asking the system not to sleep while it is switched on |
| topSites & favicon | Seeding quick links from your existing top sites, once, using Chrome’s local cache |
| contextMenus, scripting, activeTab | “Save to dashi” on right-click, extracting article text from pages you choose |
| declarativeNetRequest | Focus Shield: redirecting your blocklisted sites to a quiet blocked page while it is on |
| system.cpu, system.memory | The little system readout in the top bar |
| unlimitedStorage | Offline article bodies and images |
| Host access (optional) | Requested per-site, only when you save an article there, boost that site’s volume, give it a spoofed location, or enable Focus Shield’s redirect. Never granted broadly |
Third parties
None beyond the public data providers above. No advertisers, no analytics companies, no data brokers. We do not sell or share data, because we do not have data.
Children
dashi collects nothing from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If this policy changes, the change ships in the extension and on this page before it takes effect. There will never be a version of dashi that phones home.
