AI Storyboard uses browser localStorage to store all project data:

  • Storage Location: Your local browser
  • Data Security: Data never leaves your device
  • Privacy Protection: We cannot access any of your content
  • Cross-Device Sync: Not supported (due to local storage nature)

Data Backup Recommendations

Since data is stored locally, regular backups are recommended:

  1. Export project data (JSON format)
  2. Save to cloud storage or other storage devices
  3. Import project data on other devices

System Requirements
