Memento Mori Motivation Extension (New Tab) · Last updated 2026-07-12

This extension replaces the browser's New Tab page with a personal dashboard (to-do list, sticky notes, quotes, image pin boards, a life-progress clock, and a search box). This policy explains what data it handles.

Summary

• The extension has no backend server. The developer does not collect, receive, sell, or share any of your data.
• Everything you create — settings, to-dos, sticky notes, pinned images, and wallpaper — is stored locally on your device via the browser's chrome.storage.local API.
• Data leaves your device only through two optional features you turn on yourself, and then only to the third-party service that provides that feature.

Data stored locally on your device

• Dashboard content and preferences: enabled features, theme, wallpaper choice, to-do items, sticky notes, and life-clock configuration.
• Pinned images (website content): image URLs, or images you upload or paste, saved to your pin boards. Stored locally as data.
• Authentication information: if you enable Trello sync, your Trello API key and token are stored locally so the extension can talk to Trello on your behalf. They are never sent to the developer or to anyone other than Trello.

This data stays on your device. Uninstalling the extension or clearing browser data removes it.

Third-party services (optional)

• Trello (api.trello.com): Only if you enable Trello sync and enter your own Trello API key and token. The extension reads the cards in the list you choose and creates, updates, completes, or deletes cards so your to-do list mirrors your own Trello board. This data is exchanged only between your browser and Trello, using your own credentials. See Trello's privacy policy for how Trello handles it.
• ZenQuotes (zenquotes.io): Fetches an inspirational quote to display. The extension only makes outbound requests to retrieve quotes; it sends none of your data. You can disable this and use bundled offline quotes.

Neither service is contacted unless you enable the corresponding feature.

What the developer does not do

• Does not sell or transfer your data to third parties.
• Does not use or transfer your data for any purpose unrelated to providing this New Tab dashboard.
• Does not use your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending.
• Does not use remote code; all extension code ships in the package.
