Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my data stored?
Your entries are saved in your browser on your own device. The extension does not send your data anywhere, does not use analytics and does not need an account. See the privacy policy.
What happens if I remove the extension?
Removing the extension deletes the saved entries from your browser, so export a CSV or backup file first.
Does the extension verify my hours?
No. It organizes the hours you report. Keep any documentation your school or program requires.
Where can I get help?
