JotDrop is a Chrome extension that clips the current browser tab into a locally-running Obsidian instance. This page explains exactly what the extension does and does not do with your data.
JotDrop never contacts any external server, cloud service, or API outside your own device. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no advertising of any kind.
When you trigger a clip, the extension reads:
This information is read on demand only — not continuously, not in the background.
JotDrop stores two values in chrome.storage.local:
chrome.storage.local is stored only on this device and is never synced to your Google account or any remote service. No other data is ever written to storage.
When you clip a page, the title, URL, and selected text are sent in a single HTTP request to http://127.0.0.1 (your own computer) on the port you configured. The request never leaves your device. It is received by the JotDrop companion plugin running inside your local Obsidian installation.
JotDrop shares no data with any third party, period. There are no embedded SDKs, no tracking pixels, no external scripts.
The extension requests only the permissions it needs:
JotDrop is open source under the MIT license. You can inspect every line of code to verify these claims. The source is available at the project repository linked from the Chrome Web Store listing.
