Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 12, 2026

Intention is a browser extension, with this website, run by Road to Ramen LLC ("we"). This policy explains what Intention does with your information. In short: your sites, sessions, stats and intentions stay in your browser, and we never receive them.

The Intention extension

The sites it runs on

Intention runs only on the sites you add to your list of distracting sites. When you add a site, Intention asks your browser for permission to run on it, and you can remove that permission at any time in your browser's settings.

What it reads

  • The address of the active tab, to tell whether it's one of your distracting sites, so it can lock it or count the time you spend there. It doesn't collect the content of the pages you visit, your browsing history or anything you type into them.
  • Your most visited sites, only if you ask for suggestions while setting it up and allow it. They're shown as suggestions and aren't kept or sent anywhere.
  • Whether you're away from your computer (your browser's idle state), to end a session when you leave.

What it keeps, and where

Intention keeps these in your browser's storage on your device:

  • Your list of distracting sites and allowed pages, your daily limit, schedule and settings
  • Your current session: how long you unlocked a site for and, if you typed one, your intention, which is cleared when the session ends
  • Your stats: the time you spent on distracting sites, your visits and unlocks, your focus sessions and your streak
  • Your intention journal: each intention you unlocked a site with, the site, when and for how long, and your answer to "Did you do what you came for?". It keeps the last 500, from the last 90 days
  • The address of each distracting site's icon, from your browser's tab when you visit it

Intention doesn't send any of this data to us: we have no servers that receive it, and we don't use analytics, advertising or tracking.

Site icons

To show a distracting site's icon, Intention uses the icon your browser showed in its tab when you visited it, and loads it from the site itself. For a site you haven't visited since adding it, or a suggested one, it asks that site for its icon (its /favicon.ico), as your browser does when you visit it, and shows the site's first letter if it has none. Intention doesn't use a favicon service, so no one else learns which sites you've added.

Notifications

If you turn on "Notify me when it ends" for focus mode, Intention asks for permission to show a notification when a focus session ends. You can turn it off at any time.

How long it's kept

Your data stays in your browser until you delete it: remove sites, change settings or clear your journal in Intention's settings, or uninstall Intention, which deletes all of it. Journal entries older than 90 days are deleted on their own.

We never sell your data

We never sell, rent or share your data, and we never use it for advertising or to determine creditworthiness.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

This website

This website doesn't use cookies for analytics or advertising. It keeps your choice of theme and language in your browser. Cloudflare, which hosts it, may keep standard server logs (such as IP addresses) for a short time, for security. We don't track you across other websites, so we don't respond to Do Not Track signals.

We process the little data that leaves your device (the website's server logs) in our legitimate interest in keeping the website secure. The provider that processes it is Cloudflare, which hosts the website, and it may process it in the United States, under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Your rights

You can access, correct, export or delete your data, object to or restrict how it's processed, and complain to a data protection authority. Since your data stays in your browser, you can do most of this yourself in Intention's settings or by uninstalling it. We don't have a copy of it. For anything else, email us.

Children

Intention isn't meant for children under 13 (16 in the European Economic Area).

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update it on this page with a new "Last Updated" date.
