Where your data is stored ​

The app can store your information in one of three places. You choose which in Settings → System → Data Persistence.

This Device vs. Browser ​

Both keep data only on the current device and browser — nothing leaves your machine, and no account is needed. "This Device" is the default and handles larger amounts of data more comfortably.

On-device data is tied to this browser

If you clear your browser data, switch browsers, or use a different computer, on-device data won't follow you. For backup and multi-device access, use the Cloud.

Cloud ​

Cloud storage keeps your data in a secure online account so you can sign in from anywhere. It's a paid subscription (cancel anytime) and requires creating an account and signing in.

Upgrading is offered in two places, both leading through the same short wizard — account, payment, done:

  • at the end of the welcome wizard, while your data is still on this device, and
  • anytime from Settings → Your Plan → Upgrade to Cloud, which also shows the current price and what's included.

Moving from your device to the cloud ​

Already entered data on your device and want it in the cloud? You can import it in one step — see Import & demo data. The import copies your local data into an empty cloud account and leaves the device copy untouched.

Storage usage ​

For device-based storage, Settings → System shows a bar of how much space you're using versus what the browser allows, broken down by type of record.
