Privacy policy.

Plain language. No surprises.

Last updated: May 5, 2026

What Kororin does on your computer

When you click one of the four mode buttons, Kororin asks GitHub's public search API for a list of active repos matching that mode (for example, "good-first-issue" repos updated in the last 60 days). It picks one at random and opens it in a new tab.

What Kororin stores

Kororin uses your browser's session storage to remember which mode opened a given tab. This is so the small information card on a repo page knows whether to show "Beginner code" or "Words" in its header. This data:

• Stays on your computer.
• Is automatically erased when you close the tab.
• Is never sent to anyone.

What Kororin sends to GitHub

Each click makes one request to api.github.com. That request includes the search query Kororin built (for example, good-first-issues:>3 archived:false stars:50..5000) and the standard headers any web request includes (browser type, IP address). GitHub's own privacy practices apply to that request — see GitHub's privacy statement.

Kororin does not use a GitHub account, OAuth token, or API key on your behalf. The requests are anonymous from GitHub's perspective, the same way browsing GitHub while signed out would be.

What Kororin doesn't do

• No user accounts. No sign-in.
• No analytics or telemetry. Nothing tracks how often you click, which modes you use, or which repos you land on.
• No third-party servers. Kororin has no backend at all.
• No advertising. No tracking pixels. No cookies (Kororin doesn't set any).
• No reading or modifying any GitHub page content beyond rendering the small overlay card on repo pages you opened through Kororin.

Permissions Kororin requests

The browser will ask you to grant Kororin a few permissions when you install it. Here's what each one is for:

• Storage — to keep the per-tab note about which mode opened the tab.
• Tabs — to open the random repo in a new tab.
• Access to api.github.com — to make the search request.
• Access to github.com — to render the small overlay card on repo pages you opened through Kororin.

Children

Kororin doesn't collect personal information from anyone, so there's nothing special it does for users of any age. The tool is suitable for general audiences.

Changes to this policy

If anything about how Kororin works changes in a way that affects this policy, this page will be updated and the "last updated" date above will change. The full history is in the GitHub repo.
