Documents, saving & backups
Where your documents live, how auto-save works, and how to download .md files or back everything up as a .zip.

How saving works
- The editor auto-saves as you type — watch for saved ✓ in the status bar.
- Each document keeps its own name, content, and dates.
- Everything is stored on your device in the browser's or app's local storage. Nothing is uploaded.
The Documents list
Click the file icon in the header to open your documents.
- New — start a blank document (your current one is saved first).
- Load — click any document to open it.
- Delete — click twice to confirm; there's a rage-quit guard so one stray click can't wipe a note.
- Recent — the clock icon in the header jumps straight to recently opened documents.
Download a single document
- Click the download icon and choose Download .md — you get a standard markdown file, readable everywhere.
Back up everything at once
- Open the download menu in the header.
- Choose Export .zip.
- You get one zip with every document as its own
.mdfile — perfect for backups or moving machines.
Make zip backups a habit. Browser storage is wiped if you uninstall the extension or clear site data. A monthly
.zipmeans that's never a disaster.
Import files
- Drag any
.mdfile onto the editor, or use Open file in the header. - Only markdown files are accepted — if an import fails, check the file ends in
.md.
