Nothing leaves your device.
Nope is a browser extension that puts a pause page in front of the sites you choose to block. It runs in Safari, with a small app for iPhone and Mac, and in Chrome on a computer. This page explains what Nope keeps, where, and why.
What Nope keeps on your device
Nope stores the following in the browser's own storage for extensions, in Safari or Chrome on the device you use it on:
- the sites you block
- your settings (the wait before a bypass, the daily allowance, the longest bypass and the cooldown), and any changes waiting out the cooldown
- when each bypass you take ends, and how many bypass minutes you used on each of the last 14 days
- the to-do list on the pause page
- up to 30 sites you have blocked or opened Nope on, as bare domains such as
facebook.com, to suggest them again under “Seen before” - when you last opened each blocked site or landed on its pause page, to count your streaks
None of it is copied to a server, and Nope uses no storage that syncs between devices.
What Nope reads but does not keep
- The address of each page you open, to check it against your blocked sites. Nope does not record the pages you visit.
- The current page's address when you tap Nope in Safari's menu or click Nope's toolbar button in Chrome, to suggest that site for blocking. Its bare domain is added to “Seen before”.
- If you turn on Countdown on sites: the address of a site you are bypassing, to show how much time is left. The countdown is drawn on top of the page; Nope does not read or change the page's content.
What leaves your device
Nothing. Nope sends no data to us or to anyone else. It contains no analytics, crash reporting or advertising code, and it makes no network requests at all.
Permissions
When you block a site, your browser asks whether Nope may access it. The wording is the browser's own and the same for every extension that asks for access to a website. Nope uses that access only to send the site to its pause page. In Safari, choose Always Allow: with Allow for One Day, the block stops after 24 hours.
- Site access, one site at a time and only for sites you add: to send them to the pause page.
- Declarative Net Request: to redirect blocked sites to the pause page.
- Storage: to keep the data listed above on your device.
- Alarms: to end bypasses and apply queued changes on time.
- Active tab: to read the current page's address when you tap or click Nope.
- Scripting, only if you turn on Countdown on sites: to show the countdown on sites you have blocked while a bypass runs.
The Nope app
In Safari, Nope comes with an app for iPhone and Mac that shows how to turn the extension on. On a Mac it also asks Safari whether the extension is on, to show you its status. The app collects nothing and makes no network requests. Chrome has no app; the extension is all there is.
Children
Nope collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Deleting your data
Removing a site deletes it from your list once the cooldown ends. In Safari, deleting the Nope app removes the extension and everything it stored. In Chrome, removing the extension does the same.
This website
These Nope pages use no cookies and no analytics, and they load nothing from other sites.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, this page and its date will be updated. If Nope ever handled data differently, the app and the extension would say so before the change took effect.
