Permissions and privacy
Page access
Text-expansion and dictation tools need access to supported input fields, and some request clipboard or microphone access. Enable only the sites and input methods you actively use.
Data notes
Snippets and dictated text can contain personal or workplace information. Check whether content is stored locally, synced to an account, or sent to speech or AI services.
Pricing
Free plan with paid team and automation features. Pricing and plan limits change more often than store metadata, so use the linked developer page as the final check before subscribing.
