A FEW LITTLE ANSWERS

Before you say hello.

Is it really free?

Yes. Pixel Buddy is free and open source under the MIT license. You can use it, share it, and make it your own.

What stays on my device?

The app stores your preferences, media, and daily counters locally. The Chrome extension keeps its settings in your browser and never reads or sends the pages you visit. There is no account or analytics service. This website contacts GitHub to check available releases. Read the privacy policy.

What should I know before installing?

Desktop builds are currently unsigned. macOS may ask you to allow the app in Privacy & Security; Windows may show SmartScreen. Download only from this project's releases.

On macOS, optional smart monitoring uses Accessibility permission. You can turn monitoring off and use regular timers instead.

Can I share it with a friend?

Absolutely. Share the website or GitHub release link so they can choose the right version. Found a bug or have an idea? Tell us on GitHub.

Be good to yourself.
Your buddy will remind you.
