## Privacy

PomodoTree stores all timer data (tasks, settings, session history, badges) locally in the browser's localStorage. No accounts required.

**Web app (pomodotree.com):** Uses Google Analytics for traffic insights and Google AdSense for advertising to keep the tool free. A first-party cookie (pt_lang) stores the user's language preference for one year. Google Fonts is loaded as an external resource.

**Browser extension:** Contains zero analytics, zero tracking, zero ads, and zero telemetry. No data leaves the user's browser. All data is stored locally.

## Technical Details

- Built with PHP (server-side i18n), vanilla JavaScript, and CSS
- Zero external JS dependencies in the core timer
- Web app uses Google Analytics and Google AdSense
- Ambient sounds generated via the Web Audio API — no audio files
- All 25 language variants served via clean path-based URLs (e.g., /es/, /fr/, /ja/)
- Full structured data: WebApplication, SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, HowTo, BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage with Speakable

PomodoTree is also available as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. The extension adds Pomodoro timer with forest growth, site blocker, YouTube productivity tools, drawing board, notes, web activity tracker, screenshot tools, and 40+ features.

## Auto Scroll Extension

Auto Scroll is a separate Chrome extension built by PomodoTree that automatically scrolls through short-form video content on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels.

### Key Features
- Auto scroll: Automatically advances to the next video when the current one finishes on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels

- Video speed control: 0.5× to 2× playback speed across all supported platforms
- Break reminders (anti-doomscrolling): Set a custom interval and the extension blocks the feed when time is up, prompting a break to protect screen time and mental health

- Custom keyboard shortcuts for video navigation
- Privacy-first: All settings and data stored locally, zero data collection
