Quiet by default. Explicit when personal.
Wispdawn is a Chrome new-tab extension. It uses local timing, optional bookmark access, and optional birth details to render a living sky. This beta is designed without accounts, ads, analytics, or background syncing of personal data.
What stays local
- Display preferences, lens, tone, role, search engine, and focus settings.
- Daily Sky memory, including date, lens, timing window, seed, optional visual anchor, and optional Today's Star bookmark ID.
- Optional birth profile details used to calculate the local birth-sky chamber.
- Optional Chrome bookmarks read through the browser permission; Wispdawn does not copy the tree into localStorage.
- Bookmark activity stored as IDs, counts, timestamps, transitions, time buckets, pins, work-mode overrides, and day-local feedback.
- Focus and completed-orbit memory may include bookmark IDs, but never bookmark text or URLs.
What may leave the browser
- IP-based city lookup uses ipapi.co so Wispdawn can estimate local sunrise and timing.
- An anonymous local ID is sent to the Wispdawn API for route quotas. Upstash stores route-scoped anonymous quota records with rolling expiry.
- Kundli interpretation happens only after pressing Read this chart or Read placement. It sends calculated placements, selected lens and tone, guidance style, current timing window, and standard role category. It does not send raw birth date, birth time, birthplace, coordinates, UTC timestamp, or a custom role label.
- Vercel operates the API and processes normal request metadata. Coarse WAF abuse protection may use the request source IP.
Bookmark privacy boundary
Bookmark titles, URLs, folder names, domains, search queries, custom role text, and the bookmark tree are never sent to Wispdawn servers and are never persisted by Wispdawn. Only opaque Chrome bookmark IDs and bounded activity counters or timestamps stay locally in the browser.
What Wispdawn does not do

- No ads or third-party analytics in v1.
- No history, tabs, top sites, notifications, or email permissions.
