Aware Privacy Policy
Last updated 1 November 2026
Aware is a browser extension that measures and limits the time you spend on sites you choose. It is built so that your data never leaves your device: there is no Aware server, no account, no analytics and no advertising.
What Aware stores
Everything below is kept in your browser's extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your device
only.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Time spent per day on the sites you add | Daily limits, the report and the popup |
| YouTube channels you watch, with time and video counts | The channel report, productive channels and channel blocking |
| Your YouTube subscription list, if you import it | Showing Shorts and suggestions from your subscriptions only |
| Your settings, modes and commitments | Applying the rules you set |
| Your Toggl API token, if you connect Toggl | Reading your Toggl time entries |
Aware keeps up to two years of daily history and deletes older days automatically. Removing the extension deletes all of it.
What Aware sends, and to whom
Aware sends nothing to its developer. It only talks to two services, and only for features you turn on:
-
Toggl Track (
api.track.toggl.com), if you connect it. Aware sends your API token to read your profile, projects and time entries. It never creates or changes entries. Toggl's own privacy policy applies to that data. -
YouTube (
youtube.com), using your existing signed-in session, when you import your subscriptions or ask Aware to unsubscribe from a channel. Unsubscribing opens a YouTube tab and presses Unsubscribe on your behalf, only for the channels you select.
What Aware reads on pages
To enforce your rules, Aware runs on web pages and reads the address of the page and, on YouTube, the channel and video being shown. This is used on your device to count time and hide or block content, and it is not recorded beyond the data listed above.
Exports
The CSV exports are created on your device and saved wherever you choose. Aware does not upload them.
Sale and sharing
Aware does not sell, transfer or share your data with anyone, does not use it for advertising or creditworthiness, and does not use it for anything other than the features described here.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it.
