Local storage & backups
Where your data lives
Section titled “Where your data lives”Swebsy is local-first: your project is stored in your browser’s IndexedDB under the Swebsy origin. No account or cloud sync is involved.
| Storage | What’s there |
|---|---|
| IndexedDB | Your project (pages, blocks, styles, settings, uploaded assets) |
| Nothing on a server | Swebsy has no backend storage |
Risks of browser storage
Section titled “Risks of browser storage”- Clearing browser data (cache, cookies, site data) will delete your project.
- Private / incognito browsing — IndexedDB is cleared when the window closes.
- Different browsers or devices — your project is not synced between them.
Protect your project
Section titled “Protect your project”Export a backup frequently:
- Click Project → Export Project.
- Save the JSON file somewhere outside your browser (a folder, a cloud drive, email to yourself).
Treat the JSON backup as your source of truth, not the browser.
Recover a project
Section titled “Recover a project”If you’ve lost your in-browser project:
- Click Project → Import Project.
- Select the most recent JSON backup file.
If you don’t have a backup, the project cannot be recovered.
Storage quota
Section titled “Storage quota”Browsers typically allow 10–50% of available disk space for IndexedDB. Swebsy shows a warning if you’re close to the quota. To reduce storage usage, remove unused uploaded assets via the asset manager.
