Common Issues
My notes/tasks disappeared - where did they go?
Notes and tasks are stored in your browser's local storage. They might disappear if:
- You cleared your browser data/cache
- You're using a different browser or incognito mode
- Browser storage limits were exceeded
Unfortunately, local data cannot be recovered once deleted.
Can I export or backup my notes and tasks?
Currently, there's no built-in export feature. As a workaround:
- Copy and paste notes to a text file manually
- Take screenshots of your task lists
- Use browser bookmarks to backup important information
Export functionality is planned for future updates.

Try these troubleshooting steps:
- Refresh the new tab page (F5 or Ctrl+R)
