Frequently asked questions

Where are my notes saved?

Your notes are saved directly in your web browser's LocalStorage. This means your notes persist even if you refresh or close the tab, but they remain entirely private to your device.

Can I download my notes?

Yes! You can click "Download" to export the active note as a standard .txt file, or click "Export All" to backup all your notes in a single JSON file.

Is there a limit to how many notes I can create?

There is no strict quantity limit, though standard browser LocalStorage has a total storage limit of about 5MB, which is equivalent to millions of characters of plain text.
