Local Storage
Browser Based Whiteboard That Saves Locally
A browser based whiteboard is useful when you want to open a tool and begin working without installing software. Free FlowChart Maker runs in the browser and saves boards locally, so the core experience stays lightweight and private.
How browser storage works here
Free FlowChart Maker uses IndexedDB for saved boards. IndexedDB is browser storage designed for more structured local data than small settings. It helps keep boards available in the same browser after refreshes and normal sessions.
Small preferences can use localStorage, but board content belongs in IndexedDB because it is better suited for larger local records.
What local storage does not promise
Local browser storage is not the same as cloud backup. If you clear site data, use private browsing, reset the browser, or move to another device, your boards may not be there. Exporting JSON backups is important for work you care about.
Why this is good for privacy friendly planning
Because normal board data stays in the browser, Free FlowChart Maker avoids account based storage for core functionality. That is helpful for personal planning, teaching prep, early ideas, and notes you do not want in a cloud workspace.
Moving a board to another browser
Export the board as a JSON file, then import it in another browser. This is simple, manual, and honest. It is not automatic sync, but it keeps the app free of backend storage.
