ClearSkies doesn't have a backend, accounts, or analytics. It's a browser extension that highlights corporate jargon on web pages (Decode and Turbulence modes) and can rewrite your own text into exaggerated corporate phrasing (Corporate-ify mode). Specifically:
These read the visible text of pages you view, locally in your browser, to match it against a jargon dictionary bundled with the extension. Nothing is sent anywhere. Turbulence's optional "seatbelt chime" is a sound synthesized on-device with the Web Audio API — no audio file, no network request — and it is off by default.
Runs entirely locally using the bundled jargon dictionary. Nothing is sent anywhere.
If you turn this on and enter your own API key, the text you choose to Corporate-ify is sent directly from your browser to whichever provider you selected:
api.anthropic.com)openrouter.ai)api.openai.com)generativelanguage.googleapis.com)This request goes straight from your browser to that provider — it does not pass through any ClearSkies server, because there isn't one.
Stored only in chrome.storage.local on your device, and never transmitted anywhere except to authenticate requests you initiate to your chosen provider's API (as a header for Anthropic/OpenRouter/OpenAI, or as a URL parameter for Gemini, per Google's API design). Treat it like any other credential. Switching providers in the popup does not delete another provider's stored key — each is kept locally in case you switch back.
Using chrome.storage.local only, never synced or transmitted elsewhere: your selected mode (Off / Decode / Turbulence) per site, whether AI mode is on, which provider is selected, and any API keys/model overrides you've entered.
If ClearSkies adds features that change what data it accesses, this page will be updated first, and the change will be reflected in the extension's permissions and store listing.
Questions can be sent via the GitHub repository or the extension's Chrome Web Store support page.
