Browser Storage
Also called: local storage, localStorage, on-device storage
What is Browser Storage?
Browser storage keeps application data inside the browser on your own device using mechanisms such as localStorage and IndexedDB. Nothing is sent to a server, so the data stays where it was created.
Why Browser Storage matters
For small business tools this is a genuine privacy advantage: invoice and customer data never leaves the device. The trade-off is that clearing browser data, or switching devices, loses everything not exported.
How Browser Storage works in practice
Export or back up regularly, since browser storage is tied to one browser on one device. Treat the export file as the real record and the browser copy as the working one.
Frequently asked questions
It never leaves your device, so it is private. It is also only as safe as the device itself, which is why exports matter.
