Squints collects nothing. No analytics, no accounts, and nothing leaves your machine.

It only sees a page when you ask it to. Squints has no standing access to any website: it can run on a page only after you press its toolbar icon or its shortcut there. That is enforced by Chrome’s activeTab permission, not by a promise from us.

What it remembers stays on your machine. Your guides, column grids and presets, the colours and fonts you have picked, the sites you share with agents, and where you docked the toolbar are kept in your browser’s local extension storage. So are the notes you leave on a page: your words, a record of the element each is pinned to (its selector, text and styles), and for a note you draw, a picture of the page as you saw it with your drawing on it. They stay until you delete them. Removing the extension removes all of it.

What you capture is yours. Screenshots and recordings go to your clipboard or your downloads folder, and the picture behind a drawn note stays with that note in local storage. None of it goes anywhere else unless you send it to your own coding agent, below.

If you connect a coding agent, it sees only what you share. With the Squints plugin for Claude Code, or the squints-mcp server for other agents, your agent can read the elements you point at: their selector, styles, design tokens, component names and page text. It can also read the notes you leave, including the picture of each note you draw, and mark them done. That goes from the extension to a small server on your own computer (127.0.0.1) and from there to your agent. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else. Local development sites are shared automatically; any other site only after you turn it on in Squints’ Settings. A selection is gone after 5 minutes, and you can pause sharing at any time. What your agent then does with it is covered by your agent’s own privacy policy, such as Anthropic’s for Claude.

This website counts visits. squints.app uses Vercel Web Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data. None of this touches the extension, which still sends nothing off your machine.
