Organizer

Storage & backup ​

Organizer is local-first: there's no account and no server. Your data never leaves your device unless you export it. This page explains where it's kept and how to keep it safe.

Where your data lives ​

Organizer stores your timelines automatically on this device — there's no setup step and nothing to choose. It uses the Origin Private File System (OPFS) when your browser supports it, falling back to IndexedDB otherwise. Either way:

  • ✅ Nothing to set up — Organizer just works the moment you open it.
  • ✅ Works fully offline.
  • ⚠️ Tied to this browser on this device. It is not synced to other machines, and clearing your browser's site data will remove it. Keep exports as your safety net.

Settings → Backend shows "App storage on this device," and Clear all data wipes it if you ever need a clean slate.

Backing up with Export / Import ​

Export is how you make a portable backup.

Export ​

Settings → Backup → Export downloads all your data — timelines, entries, and attachments — as a single JSON file. Keep it somewhere safe.

Organizer shows a gentle "No backup · Export now" nudge in the header if you haven't exported in over a week.

Import ​

Settings → Backup → Import, choose a previously exported .json file, then pick how to bring it in:

  • Replace all data — wipes current data and restores the file exactly. Use when recovering a backup or moving to a new device.
  • Merge (skip duplicates) — adds anything from the file that you don't already have, leaving your existing data untouched. Use to combine two sets of timelines.

WARNING

Replace all data is destructive — it discards whatever is currently stored. If in doubt, export your current data first, then import.

Moving to a new device ​

  1. On the old device: Settings → Backup → Export.
  2. Transfer the JSON file to the new device.
  3. On the new device: open Organizer, then Settings → Backup → Import → Replace all data.
