PageStow is a local-first browser extension for saving browser context and resurfacing related saved links.
Data The Extension Stores
PageStow stores the following data in local extension storage:
- URLs and titles of tabs you choose to save.
- Domains derived from saved URLs.
- Optional notes, projects, tags, reminders, intents, and statuses you enter.
- Saved browser session metadata, including URLs and titles of tabs in a saved window.
- If you enable Bookmark Assist, URLs and titles from newly created browser bookmarks.
Why Chrome Web Store May Show "Web History"
Chrome Web Store may describe saved URLs and tab titles as Web history. PageStow only stores URLs and titles for tabs or windows you choose to save, current open tabs shown in Review/Triage, and optional new bookmarks if Bookmark Assist is enabled.
PageStow does not request the browser history permission, does not read or erase your full Chrome browsing history, does not read page body content, and does not upload saved browsing context in the free local-first MVP.
Data The Extension Does Not Collect
The MVP does not:
- Upload saved tabs, notes, sessions, or browsing context to a server.
- Read your full browsing history.
- Read page body content.
- Request Gmail permissions.
- Use AI services.
- Require an account.
- Sell user data.
Permissions
- storage: saves your archive in
chrome.storage.local. - activeTab: reads the current tab when you use the extension.
- tabs: saves current-window session metadata, reviews open tabs, and restores saved sessions.
- bookmarks: optional. Requested only if you enable Bookmark Assist.
Export And Deletion
You can export your saved archive as JSON from the extension popup. You can delete saved items and sessions in the extension. You can also remove all local extension data by uninstalling the extension or clearing its extension data in your browser.
If you export a project bundle, PageStow creates a local HTML file from the saved items and sessions you selected through Review/Triage filters. That file can include saved URLs, titles, notes, projects, tags, reminders, task status, and session links. The export is created locally and is not uploaded by PageStow.
Future Paid Features
The current local core workflows are free. If PageStow later adds paid licensing, sync, backup, or semantic retrieval, those features will be additive, opt-in, and documented before use. License systems may process account and payment metadata, but saved URLs, notes, sessions, and browsing context should not be uploaded unless a future sync feature is explicitly enabled by the user.
