How ZenBrain works

What it tracks. What stays private. How the Recap works.

What ZenBrain sees

ZenBrain runs quietly in the background. It reads only three things — nothing else.

Tab title and URL

The name and address of each tab you have open. Never the content of the page itself.

Time opened and closed

When you opened a tab and when you closed it. This builds your session timeline.

Focus time

How long you actively looked at a tab. Only tabs you spent at least 30 seconds on count toward your session.

What ZenBrain never sees

Three things are always off-limits — by design, not just policy.

  • Page contents

    ZenBrain reads only the tab title, not what’s on the page. Articles, documents, emails, and messages are invisible to it.

  • Form inputs

    Passwords, search queries, messages — none of this is tracked. ZenBrain has no access to what you type.

  • Incognito tabs

    Private browsing is always excluded. ZenBrain cannot see incognito windows even if you wanted it to.

How the Recap works

The Recap gives you a plain-English summary of your last session. It only happens when you ask for it.

  1. ZenBrain watches quietly.

    During your session it records which tabs you focused on and for how long. Everything stays on your device.

  2. A Recap card appears.

    The next time you open the ZenBrain popup, you’ll see a “Resume yesterday” card showing what you worked on.

  3. You choose to recap.

    Hit Recap and ZenBrain sends your tab titles and URLs to our AI for a brief summary. Nothing is sent until you tap that button.

  4. Export when ready.

    Send the session — tabs, recap, and all — to Notion or Google Drive in one tap. Your work lives where you already work.

Privacy

Your browsing data never leaves your device automatically. Tab history is stored locally in your browser. It is only shared with our AI when you explicitly request a Recap — and only the titles and URLs from that session are sent. No accounts, no tracking pixels, no selling your data. Incognito windows are always excluded.
