Your data

Nothing you enter leaves your device. The apps have no accounts, no server-side storage and no analytics on your content — everything lives in your browser's local storage, on the device where you typed it.

The trade-off is that browsers are allowed to clear that storage on their own, and they do:

WhereWhat can happen
iOS (Safari)Clears app data when storage runs low, or after roughly 7–30 days without opening the app
AndroidMore stable, though battery and data-optimisation settings can still wipe it
DesktopRarely clears by itself, unless you have cookie or cache cleaning turned on
Private / IncognitoNever persists — data is gone the moment the session closes

Keeping your data safe

  • Open the app now and then. On iOS especially, inactivity is what triggers a cleanup.
  • Keep some free storage on the device.
  • Don't clear the browser cache for the site.
  • Don't use private or incognito mode for anything you want to keep.
  • Export a backup. Every app either has a Download data / Backup option and a matching re-import, or is getting one. That file is yours — keep it somewhere you can find it again.

If your data has already gone

There is no copy on a server to restore from, because there is no server. If you have a backup file, re-import it. If you don't, the data is unfortunately gone — which is exactly why the export exists.
