Gemini Limit Watcher is a browser extension that displays the Google Gemini 5-hour and weekly usage limits for the currently signed-in user.
The extension displays this information in the browser toolbar, popup, Side Panel, and an optional overlay on gemini.google.com.
Gemini Limit Watcher is an independent community project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google.
The extension accesses content from gemini.google.com that is required to provide its usage-monitoring functionality.
This may include:
Gemini usage percentages
Reset times and reset timestamps
The displayed Gemini subscription plan
Usage-related information shown on the Gemini Usage page
Usage-related network responses generated by Gemini
The extension does not intentionally access or collect the content of the user's Gemini conversations.
The accessed data is used exclusively to:
Display the current 5-hour usage limit
Display the current weekly usage limit
Display reset times and countdowns
Display the detected Gemini plan
Update the toolbar icon, popup, Side Panel, and optional overlay
Perform automatic or user-requested usage refreshes
The data is not used for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness assessments, or purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose.
Gemini Limit Watcher stores extension settings and the most recently retrieved usage values locally in the user's browser.
Locally stored information may include:
Usage percentages
Reset timestamps
Detected plan information
Refresh interval settings
Overlay position and size
Display preferences
Optional manually configured CSS selectors
This information remains on the user's device unless the browser's own synchronization functionality transfers extension settings between the user's browser installations.
Gemini Limit Watcher does not transmit usage data, browsing data, personal information, or extension settings to the developer.
The extension does not operate its own server and does not send user data to analytics, advertising, tracking, or other third-party services.
The extension communicates only with gemini.google.com as required to retrieve the usage information provided by Google Gemini.
User data is not sold, rented, or transferred to third parties.
The extension uses the following browser permissions:
Used to store settings and the most recently retrieved Gemini usage values locally in the browser.
Used to open, identify, monitor, and close the managed Gemini Usage tab required for automatic refreshes.
The extension does not collect the user's general browsing history.
Used to schedule automatic usage refreshes and time-dependent display updates.
Used to execute packaged extension scripts on supported Gemini pages for usage detection and the optional overlay.

Authentication with Google Gemini is handled by the browser and Google. The extension only accesses the usage information made available to the already signed-in user.
Gemini Limit Watcher does not collect or store the user's general browsing history.
The extension may locally detect activity on gemini.google.com, such as the completion of a Gemini response, solely to trigger a usage refresh. This activity is not transmitted, retained as an activity log, or used for profiling.
Usage values and settings remain stored locally until one of the following occurs:
The user changes or resets the extension settings
The browser clears the extension's local data
The extension is uninstalled
Uninstalling the extension normally removes the locally stored extension data according to the browser's behavior.
Gemini Limit Watcher does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
This privacy policy may be updated if the extension's functionality, permissions, or data-handling practices change.
The current version will remain available at this URL, and the “Last updated” date will be revised when material changes are made.
