Focus Garden

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Summary

Focus Garden stores the information needed for its timer, task list, session history, goals, and virtual garden in chrome.storage.local on your device. This includes text you enter for task and plant names. The extension uses this information only to provide its features.

Focus Garden does not create an account, sync data to the cloud, or send your timer, task, session, or plant data to SpaceKeep or another server. The extension contains no analytics, tracking, or advertising functionality, and it does not access browsing history, open tabs, or page content.

Data Storage

Focus Garden uses chrome.storage.local to keep the following information locally on your device:

Information	Purpose
Timer state `isActive`, `endTime`, `timerMode`, `timeLeftSeconds`	Resume the timer and keep the countdown accurate when the popup is closed.
Timer settings and cycle	Store your focus, short-break, and long-break durations and Pomodoro cycle settings.
Session totals and daily history	Show daily and lifetime totals, recent charts, streaks, and garden progress. Daily history retains up to 30 entries.
Detailed session log	Show the latest completed focus sessions, including completion time and duration. Entries may include an associated task ID and a copy of its task title. The log keeps up to 5,000 entries.
Tasks and selected task	Store task IDs, titles, creation times, completion status, and the task selected for a future or current session.
Daily goal	Remember your chosen daily focus-session target and show its progress.
Plant customization	Display the plant name and style you choose.
Onboarding status	Remember whether the welcome screen has been completed.

Milestones and achievements are calculated locally from session totals and daily history. They do not create a separate profile or remote record.

Use, Sharing, and Retention

Information above is used only to operate and display Focus Garden. It stays in the browser's local extension storage and is not shared with SpaceKeep, analytics providers, advertisers, or other third parties. Chrome clears chrome.storage.local data when the extension is removed. Learn more about Chrome extension storage.

You can delete tasks individually. Deleting a task does not remove its title from completed session entries already in history.
Focus Garden currently has no in-app control to clear the entire session history. The detailed log is limited to the latest 5,000 sessions.
Chrome's local extension storage is not an encrypted password vault. Avoid using task or plant names to store passwords or other secrets.

Uninstall Page and External Links

When Focus Garden is uninstalled, Chrome is configured to open focus-garden.spacekeep.dev/uninstall. Focus Garden does not add timer, task, session, or plant data to that URL. As with any website visit, the site receiving the request may receive ordinary connection information such as your IP address and request headers; that site's own privacy practices apply to the visit.

The extension also includes a GitHub link. GitHub receives a request only if you choose to open it.

Permissions

Permission	Reason
`storage`	Save timer state, settings, tasks, session history, goals, and plant customization locally on your device.
