Heads Up is a free Chrome extension that highlights things in Indeed job listings that you've told it to watch for. It's built to keep everything on your own device.

What it reads

When you open a job listing on indeed.com, Heads Up reads the text of that listing (title, pay, and description) inside your browser so it can check it against your settings. It also reads the short previews on Indeed's result cards to show badges.

This happens entirely on your computer. Listing text is never sent anywhere.

What it stores

• Your settings (which flags are on, your limits, your phrases, your theme) are saved with Chrome's storage.sync. If you're signed in to Chrome with sync turned on, Chrome syncs them to your other computers through your Google account, the same way it syncs bookmarks. The developer can't see them.
• Backups are files you choose to save with Settings → Save a backup. They go to your computer like any other download, and Heads Up only reads one when you pick it with Restore a backup.
• Recent results (the Indeed job ID, how many flags it had and their names) for up to 400 jobs you've opened are saved with Chrome's storage.local, only on this computer, so result cards can show a badge. You can erase them anytime with Settings → Forget remembered results, or by removing the extension.

What it doesn't do

• No accounts, sign-ups, analytics, tracking, or cookies, and no ads from anyone else.
• No network requests of any kind. Heads Up doesn't contact any server, including the developer's.
• No selling, sharing, or transferring of any data to anyone.
• It only runs on indeed.com pages.

The popup has a link to Bonk, another extension by the same developer. It's an ordinary link: nothing is sent unless you click it, and then Chrome simply opens bonk.tools in a new tab.

Permissions

• storage: to save your settings and recent results, as described above.
• Access to indeed.com: to read the listing you're viewing and add the banner, highlights and badges.
