Protect local calendars

Privacy takes effort from everyone who values it—and every practical step is worth taking.

Using private browsing? FateLoom deliberately does not try to detect it. Browser storage is temporary in private sessions and is normally deleted when the session ends, often when every private window closes. Export your calendars before leaving.

FateLoom stores every calendar only in this browser. There is no account or cloud sync.

Standard browser storage can be removed automatically when space is low. Persistent storage asks this browser to protect FateLoom data from that automatic cleanup.

You can still remove the data from browser settings or by deleting the browser profile. Use Export all in Calendar Manager and Import from File as a portable backup.
