Local Storage in MultitaskAI

MultitaskAI uses a technology called IndexedDB to store all your conversations and settings directly in your browser. Let's understand what this means for you and why it's important.

What is IndexedDB?

Think of IndexedDB as a powerful filing cabinet built right into your web browser. It's a sophisticated storage system that allows MultitaskAI to save your chat conversations, remember your settings and preferences, and securely store your encrypted API keys. The best part is that everything happens right on your device, not on some remote server.

Why We Choose IndexedDB

Our choice of IndexedDB was driven by three main benefits: privacy, performance, and reliability.

Privacy First

Your privacy is our top priority. By storing data locally on your device, we ensure that you maintain complete control over your information. There's no server storage involved, which means no risk of data breaches or unauthorized access to your conversations.

Performance

Local storage means lightning-fast access to your conversations. When you scroll through your chat history or change settings, everything happens instantly because there's no need to wait for server responses. This creates a smooth, responsive experience that feels natural and efficient.

Offline Capabilities

With IndexedDB, you can access your past conversations even without an internet connection. Your settings remain available at all times, and any changes you make while offline will automatically sync when you're back online.

How Your Data is Stored

MultitaskAI organizes your data like a well-structured digital filing system. Each conversation is stored separately, and your settings are saved instantly as you change them. The system automatically manages storage space to prevent overcrowding, while keeping everything organized in separate "stores" - think of them as different drawers in your digital filing cabinet.

Data Management Made Simple

We've made it easy to manage your stored data in MultitaskAI. You can export conversations for safekeeping, import them when needed, and clear specific conversations or all data if desired. Your browser handles storage space automatically, so you don't have to worry about technical details.

Privacy and Security

The local nature of IndexedDB provides natural security benefits. Other websites can't access your MultitaskAI data, and your information persists between sessions unless you choose to clear it. Each browser profile maintains its own separate copy of the data, ensuring complete isolation and privacy.

Common Questions

Q: Will I lose my data if I clear my browser cache?
A: Yes, clearing your browser data (specifically "Site Data" or "IndexedDB") will remove your MultitaskAI data. We recommend exporting important conversations before clearing your browser data.

Q: Is there a storage limit?
A: While there is a limit, it's typically quite generous - usually several gigabytes. MultitaskAI will notify you if you're approaching your storage limit.

Q: Can I access my conversations from another device?
A: Since data is stored locally, you'll need to manually transfer it between devices. You can easily export your data from one device and import it on another.

Best Practices

To get the most out of MultitaskAI's storage system, we recommend regularly backing up important conversations by exporting them. It's also good practice to occasionally clear old or unnecessary conversations to maintain optimal performance. The built-in data management tools in settings make this process straightforward.

Remember to keep your browser updated for the best performance. MultitaskAI's use of IndexedDB provides an ideal balance of privacy, performance, and convenience - keeping your data secure while ensuring a smooth user experience.
