How much you can store, and how to avoid losing it

Notes are saved in your browser's local storage as you type, with every tab kept under one entry for this site. Browsers give each site a few megabytes of local storage, which is room for millions of characters of plain text, far more than most notes need. There's no account, so notes belong to this browser on this device only.

The main risk is the browser clearing that storage. Clearing browsing data or cookies removes it, a private window discards it when closed, and Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac can delete a site's stored data if you haven't visited it for 7 days of Safari use. For anything you'd mind losing, press Download to save a .txt copy now and then. You can reopen it later with Open.
