#4 Where Are My Notes Stored?

Right here on your device. Not on our servers. Not in some cloud we control. On YOUR machine.

PenPage uses your browser's built-in database called IndexedDB — it's a real database that lives inside your browser, invisible but always there.

What does that mean for you?

• Privacy: Your notes never leave your device unless YOU choose to sync
• Speed: Everything loads instantly — no network needed
• Offline: Works on a plane, in a tunnel, anywhere
• No account required: Start writing immediately, zero sign-up

"What if I clear my browser data?"

Good question. That's why we have #7 Backup and #12 Cloud Sync. But normal browsing won't touch your notes — only a deliberate "clear all site data" would.

Think of it this way

Your notes are as private as a diary locked in your desk drawer. We literally can't see them even if we wanted to.
