Where are my notes stored?

Your notes are stored in your browser’s localStorage on this device only. They are not uploaded to any server.

Is there a size limit?

Browsers typically allow around 5 MB per site for localStorage. Very large notes may hit this limit.

Can I sync notes across devices?

No, not automatically. Use Export to save a .txt file and Import it on another device.

No. Notes are stored as plain text in localStorage. Avoid storing sensitive data, or keep your device secure.

Does it work offline?
