Permissions and privacy

Page access

Blocking and tab-management features may need browsing-history, tab, notification, or site access. Match the install prompt to the features you plan to use.

Data notes

Focus tools can learn which sites and tabs you use. Confirm whether those signals stay local, sync to an account, or support analytics before enabling broad access.

Pricing

Free tier with optional paid features. Pricing and plan limits change more often than store metadata, so use the linked developer page as the final check before subscribing.
