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, todos, habits, countdowns, reminders | Chrome local storage | No, except Chrome's own sync between your devices if you have it on |
| Layout, preferences, quick links | Chrome sync storage (managed by Google Chrome) | 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 |
| Watchlist API key (optional, yours) | Chrome local storage | Only to the market-data provider you chose |
Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it.
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 |
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 | Alerting you when a reminder or focus session ends |
| Tabs & sessions | Workspaces (save/restore windows) and Tab Janitor (duplicates, stale tabs) |
| 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 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.
