Offline use and storage
Without a connection
Section titled “Without a connection”On the website, a service worker keeps the page and its files after a first visit online: it then opens offline. Secondary tools (tasks, link manager, backup) only load the first time you open them; open them once while online if you plan to use them offline. The extension already contains its page.
| Offline | Result |
|---|---|
| Links, note, tasks, settings | Usable; sync resumes when the connection is back |
| Timer | Usable |
| Weather | Last forecasts kept, marked as old |
| Wallpapers | Images already seen stay available for a while; your personal images, always |
| Server quotes | Today’s if it was already shown, otherwise a quote built into the page |
| Opening a link | Depends on the site |
The notice “Offline · the data shown may be out of date.” then appears at the top of the home page.
This documentation does not work offline.
What the browser keeps
Section titled “What the browser keeps”Settings → Privacy and help → Storage on this device shows the browser’s estimate for the whole site and lists what can be cleared without touching your settings or images:
- Wallpaper and icon cache;
- Offline public data (weather, quotes, wallpaper lists);
- Page available offline: once cleared, the page no longer opens offline until your next visit online;
- Weather saved on this device;
- Previous note versions (the current note stays);
- Saved image positions.
My images is listed for reference; your images are deleted from the My images library.
Backup and recovery also offers Clear image and data caches for all spaces, which touches neither settings, notes nor personal images.
Keeping storage
Section titled “Keeping storage”A browser may clear a site’s data on its own when the disk fills up. Request persistent local storage, in Backup and recovery, asks it not to; it accepts or refuses under its own rules. Even when granted, this does not protect against manual clearing, private browsing or losing the device: keep an export and your original photos.
Clearing the site’s data in the browser settings deletes everything: spaces, settings, notes, personal images and recovery points.
