What your browser keeps
The planner saves data in your browser’s storage, on your device. None of it is sent to us. Keys that start with daily-planner: are your planner: they go into backups and, if you use it, the sealed copy of Personal sync. The others belong to this browser only. Keys that earlier versions kept and this one no longer uses are removed the first time it opens.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your planner | Your days, Horizon, journal and settings. Keys starting with daily-planner: | Until you delete it. |
| Preferences on this device | Your appearance and palette, the trophies you have already seen, and which release you were asked to rate, so you are asked only once. Keys daily-planner-ui:theme, daily-planner-ui:paint, daily-planner-ui:trophies-seen, daily-planner-ui:feedback | Until you clear it. |
| Tour and tips | When you took the planner tour or were offered it, and which first-use tips you have seen, so each shows only once. Keys daily-planner-ui:tour, daily-planner-ui:tips | Until you clear it; How it works → Show tips again clears the tips. |
| Opening | Whether the planner’s opening has already played in this tab today, so it plays in full once per visit and only briefly when you reload or go back, and the day you last opened the planner (a date, nothing else), so its opening says “Welcome back” or “Opening your day…” rather than welcoming you as new. Keys daily-planner-ui:entrance-seen, daily-planner-ui:sealed, daily-planner-ui:opened | Until you close the tab; the day until you clear it, replaced by the next day you open the planner. |
| Floating window and shared images | The view and size of the floating window and whether its unresolved list is open, and the format and look you last chose for a shared image — never what was in it. Keys daily-planner-ui:pip-view, daily-planner-ui:pip-size, daily-planner-ui:pip-unresolved, daily-planner-ui:share | Until you clear it. |
| Usage counts choice | Remembers whether you switched the anonymous counts off, for the planner and the welcome page. Key daily-planner-ui:usage-counts | Until you clear it. |
| Counted-once notes | The day, week or month a few moments were last counted, so each is counted once per period. No identifier. Key daily-planner-ui:counted | Replaced each period. |
| Waitlist sign-up | Your address and a removal token, so you can leave the waitlist from this device. Key daily-planner-ui:waitlist-joined | Until you leave the waitlist or clear it. |
| Personal sync | Only if you use Personal sync: which cloud you chose (Google Drive or Dropbox), what changed since the last sync, how the last sync went, and up to five recovery snapshots taken before changes from your cloud are applied. Keys daily-planner-sync:cloud, daily-planner-sync:ledger, daily-planner-sync:google, daily-planner-sync:dropbox; IndexedDB daily-planner-recovery | Until you clear it, disconnecting included (see below); the oldest snapshot makes way for each new one. |
| Sync access and seal | Only if you use Personal sync. With Dropbox, the access Dropbox gives the planner, so sync runs without signing in each time. With Google Drive, the access Google gives, kept until it runs out an hour later, so the planner opened again within the hour syncs without asking, and the address of your Google account, so that Google’s window chooses it by itself when you reconnect. These stay on this device: never in a backup, never in the synced copy, never sent to us. The key made from your passphrase, which opens your sealed copy: never the passphrase itself, and the browser can’t hand the key’s value out. With it, what isn’t secret about the seal, and whether you set aside the offer to seal an older copy. Keys daily-planner-sync:dropbox-auth, daily-planner-sync:google-access, daily-planner-sync:google-account, daily-planner-sync:protection; IndexedDB daily-planner-sync | Until you disconnect in Settings (the key and what goes with it once no cloud is left connected on this device), or remove the planner’s access in Dropbox or your Google Account; Google’s access also goes when it runs out, after an hour. |
| Offline copy | The planner’s files and the pages of this site you have opened, so the planner works offline. Cache storage daily-planner- followed by the version | Replaced with each new version. |
The offline copy
When you open the planner, a service worker saves its files in your browser’s cache so it opens and works without a connection. Each new version replaces the previous copy. It holds the app and pages of this site, not your plans.
How to clear it
- Your planner: in the planner, open Help → Data on this device → Reset local data. Export a backup first if you may want it later.
- Everything this site keeps, including your preferences and the offline copy: clear the site data for this address in your browser’s settings (usually under Privacy or Site settings). Your planner is deleted too, so back it up first.
- Personal sync: disconnect in the planner’s Settings first. On this device, Disconnect removes the cloud’s access (
daily-planner-sync:google-accessanddaily-planner-sync:google-account, ordaily-planner-sync:dropbox-auth, which Dropbox is also asked to revoke) and, once no cloud is left connected, the seal: the key, the IndexedDB databasedaily-planner-syncthat holds it, anddaily-planner-sync:protection. What stays is about your planner, not your account:daily-planner-sync:cloud,daily-planner-sync:ledger,daily-planner-sync:googleanddaily-planner-sync:dropbox(the cloud you chose, what changed since the last sync and how it went, so that connecting again compares your days instead of overwriting them), and the recovery snapshots in IndexedDBdaily-planner-recovery. Clear the site data to remove those too. The sealed copy in your cloud stays until you delete it there: in Google Drive, Settings → Manage apps → Daily Planner → Delete hidden app data; in Dropbox, the planner’s folder in your Apps folder, and its access under Settings → Connected apps.
Google and Dropbox
If you connect Google Drive, the planner loads Google’s sign-in and Google’s window opens on Google’s own pages, where Google uses its own cookies under its own policy. Nothing from Google loads before you choose Google Drive in the planner’s settings or reach for its Connect button: the planner then loads Google’s sign-in, so that Google’s window can open from your tap.
If you connect Dropbox, the planner takes you to Dropbox’s own page to allow access, then back. There, Dropbox uses its own cookies under its own policy. Nothing from Dropbox loads before you choose Connect.
