🔒 PRIVACY FOCUSED

Lensor captures the visible tab content for magnification only. All processing happens locally in your browser — no data is ever sent to external servers. The extension automatically stops capturing after 20 minutes of inactivity.

📖 HOW TO USE

1. Click the Lensor icon in your toolbar
2. A magnifying lens appears on the page
3. Drag the lens to inspect any area
4. View detected colors and palettes in the side panel
5. Adjust zoom and toggle features as needed

💡 ABOUT THE SCREEN RECORDING INDICATOR

Chrome shows a "sharing your screen" indicator while Lensor is active. Here's what you should know:

• Lensor only captures the current tab — not your whole screen
• Captures are processed instantly and never stored or transmitted
• No images, screenshots, or recordings are saved anywhere
• The extension automatically stops after 20 minutes of inactivity
• Click the Lensor icon anytime to turn it off immediately

We built Lensor with privacy as a priority. The tab capture API is required to make the magnifying lens work, but we've implemented automatic shutdown to ensure the capture doesn't run indefinitely.
