Privacy and security
- End-to-end encrypted: page content and what you type are encrypted between the extension and your phone. Our servers only forward the encrypted data; we cannot read it and do not store it.
- Only the tab you choose: while a tab is attached, Chrome shows a "being debugged" bar. Close that bar, close the phone page or sign out of the extension to stop at any time.
- The extension runs only its own code: our servers only relay data and can never make it run code.
- Phones must be paired by QR code, or confirmed with a matching 6-digit code on both devices.
See the privacy policy for details.
Requirements
Your computer must be on with Chrome running. On the phone, any modern browser (Chrome, Safari and others) works; no app to install.
