Claude Blocker is a productivity tool that blocks distracting websites when Claude Code is not actively working. This privacy policy explains what data is collected and how it's used.
Claude Blocker collects and stores the following data locally on your device:
- Blocked Domains List — The websites you configure to be blocked (default: x.com, youtube.com)
- Bypass State — Whether you've used your daily emergency bypass, and when it expires
- Last Bypass Date — The date of your last bypass usage (to enforce once-per-day limit)
- No browsing history
- No personal information
- No analytics or telemetry
- No usage statistics
- No data sent to external servers
All data is stored using Chrome's chrome.storage.sync API:
- Local storage — Data is stored on your device
- Chrome sync — If you have Chrome sync enabled, your blocked domains list will sync across your devices via your Google account
- No external servers — We do not operate any servers that receive your data
The extension communicates only with a local server running on your machine (localhost:8765). This server:
- Runs entirely on your computer
- Never connects to the internet
- Only receives hook notifications from Claude Code running on your machine
Claude Blocker does not use any third-party services, analytics, or tracking.
To delete all Claude Blocker data:
- Open Chrome extension settings
- Click on Claude Blocker → "Remove"
- All locally stored data will be deleted
Alternatively, clear the extension's storage via Chrome DevTools.
