Privacy
Last updated 31 August 2026. This covers taimu.art--work.com and the “taimu for Linear” Chrome extension.
The short version
taimu is a time tracker for a small studio. It stores the time you log and what you logged it against. It sells nothing, has no advertising, and has no analytics. Nothing is shared with anyone outside the service.
What is stored
- Your account. Your name and email address. Sign-in itself is handled by Supabase Auth. If you use Google or Apple, taimu never sees a password, and if you use an email link there is no password to see.
- Your time entries. Start and end times, the Linear issue and project each one is against, and any note you write.
- A cached copy of your Linear issues and projects, so the tracker can offer them without calling Linear on every keystroke. It holds identifiers, titles and project names, not issue descriptions or comments.
- Your Linear personal API key, which you paste in yourself and can remove at any time from settings. It is used only to fetch your own issues and projects.
- Clients and projects you create, and the settings on them.
What the extension does
- It runs only on
Linear.app. It reads the issue identifier from the page you are looking at so it can attach time to the right issue. - It stores one thing locally: the access token you paste into its options, and the address of the taimu deployment it talks to. That token authenticates your requests to taimu and nothing else.
- It sends the issue identifier, the duration, and any note you type to your taimu deployment. It sends nothing anywhere else, and there is no third-party code in it.
- It does not read your Linear issue descriptions, comments, attachments, or anything else on the page.
Who else sees it
Three service providers, named here because a business customer's first question is which ones and where:
- Supabase holds the database and sign-in. Your data is stored in Frankfurt, Germany (eu-central-1) and does not leave the EU.
- Vercel provides the hosting. Pages are rendered at the edge; nothing is stored there.
- Linear sees the requests taimu makes on your behalf, using the connection you authorised. taimu asks Linear for read access only, and you can revoke it from Linear's own settings at any time.
None of them are sent anything for their own purposes. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracker anywhere in taimu or its extension.
The token that connects your Linear account is encrypted before it is stored, with a key the database does not hold. The tokens the browser extension uses are stored only as a one-way hash, so taimu cannot read them back.
A report link you create is public to whoever holds the URL. That is what it is for. It shows only what you chose to put on it, and you can delete it at any time, which stops the link working immediately.
How long, and getting it back
For as long as you have an account. Two things you can do at any time, from settings, without asking anyone:
- Export gives you every entry you have logged, as a JSON file, in a shape another tool can read.
- Delete removes your account and everything attached to it. If you are the only person in your workspace, the workspace goes too. This cannot be undone.
One thing survives a deletion, deliberately: a workspace keeps a record of significant actions. It says who deleted entries, who changed someone's role, who shared a report link. It holds a name and an email address so the record still reads, and the people still working in that workspace rely on it.
