Does Zahvox store my transcripts in localStorage?

Not by default today. Saved history is planned and will document its behavior.

Is localStorage private?

It's scoped to the site and stays on your device unless the site syncs it somewhere.

Browser site settings → clear site data, or clear your browsing data.

Does incognito mode use localStorage?

It's isolated and typically cleared when you close the incognito window.

Is localStorage encrypted?

Not by default. Sensitive data should not be stored there without protection.

LocalStorage

LocalStorage is a browser feature that lets a site keep small amounts of data on your device, scoped to that site. Zahvox uses it for lightweight local state only.

Definition

LocalStorage is a Web Storage API that stores key/value string pairs in the browser, isolated per origin, and persistent across tabs and sessions until cleared. It has size limits (typically ~5MB) and is fully synchronous.

In plain language

A small drawer in your browser where a website can keep notes for itself.

Why it matters

LocalStorage is what lets a web app remember you between visits without a backend. It's also why 'nothing leaves your device' can be a real claim for browser-first tools.

How this relates to Zahvox

Zahvox uses localStorage for lightweight preferences and UI state — not to store your voice or transcripts by default. Full saved history is planned and will document its storage behavior when it ships.

Status: Available today in the free Zahvox web tool.

Example

You toggle a UI setting. Next time you open Zahvox, the same setting sticks — that's localStorage remembering it locally.
