## Description

Memory Story Helper is the companion browser extension for Memory Story, a local-first Mac app that explains what's using your Mac's memory in plain language.

On its own, Memory Story can only see the browser tab you're actively looking at. This extension closes that gap: it tells Memory Story which tab is active and what its title is, including tabs in background windows, so a memory spike in a browser can be labeled by website instead of just "Firefox."

What it does: sends the active tab's URL, page title, and window ID to <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/e6312edf8a15cd655a51448318bff75c47d42060fea6001f0293259cb09616cb/http%3A//127.0.0.1%3A18765" rel="nofollow">http://127.0.0.1:18765</a> whenever you switch tabs or a page finishes loading. That address is a small server Memory Story itself runs, on the same Mac — nothing is sent anywhere else, ever.

This extension does nothing on its own. If Memory Story isn't running, it has nowhere to send anything.

No analytics, no third-party requests, no account, no tracking across sites.
