Summary: HushDown is a Chrome extension that suggests a folder and file name for your downloads. All data stays in your browser and your Downloads folder; Hidroteknik has no server, account or analytics for it.
Data stored on your device
- chrome.storage.sync: your settings, the active project name and a short list of recent project names (Google’s sync rules apply if you are signed in to Chrome).
- chrome.storage.local: the download history shown in the popup (up to 200 entries: file name, time, project), small thumbnails, per-project counters and sources lists.
- Sources list: for each file saved into a project, its number, name, the address of the page it came from, the download address and the access date. The same list is written as a text file (_sources.txt) into the project folder.
Permissions and why
- downloads, downloads.open: to apply the suggested folder/name, keep the history and sources list, and open a file you choose.
- storage: to keep settings and history. • notifications: optional download-complete notification (off by default).
- offscreen: to make a local thumbnail from a downloaded image. • tabGroups: to use the active tab group’s name as the project folder.
- file:///* (optional): only if you allow it, to read a downloaded image from disk for the thumbnail.
- tabs (optional, asked at your first project): to read the address and title of the tab a file is downloaded from, at that moment only, and write them to the sources list. Your browsing history is not read and nothing is sent anywhere.
Remote code, third parties
All of the extension’s code is in the package submitted to the Chrome Web Store; no remote code is loaded. Your data is not sold, not used for analytics or advertising, and not transferred to third parties.
Deleting your data
You can remove history entries in the popup (the file itself is not deleted). Removing the extension deletes all its data in Chrome; files in project folders remain under your control.
Children
HushDown is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.
