How local data works

The freezer inventory, temperature log, region preference, and label drafts are stored in your browser’s local storage, on this device, under this site’s origin. Nothing is uploaded; there is no account and no server-side database.

What this means in practice

  • Privacy: your data never leaves the device unless you export it yourself.
  • Per-device: the inventory on your phone and your laptop are separate. There is no sync in this version.
  • Fragility: clearing browser data, private-browsing mode, or some “free up space” cleaners can delete it. Export a JSON backup regularly from the inventory page.

Backups

The inventory exports JSON (complete, re-importable) and CSV (for spreadsheets), and imports its own JSON backups, skipping duplicates. The temperature log exports CSV.
