No data leaves your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Participant names are read directly from the Google Meet page and stored only in your browser's session storage (cleared when you close the browser). Permissions used: • activeTab — to read participant names from the active Meet tab • storage — to save your cycle progress and settings locally • scripting — to inject the participant detection script into Meet ── NOTES ── • Works on meet.google.com only • Participant detection reads names from the visible Meet UI. Opening the People panel in Meet improves detection reliability. • Meet's internal UI can change with Google updates. If detection stops working, please report it via the support link.
