Is my writing saved in Write It Down?
Write It Down does not save your writing: the web room keeps the draft in the browser tab, the Mac app keeps it in memory, and neither one uploads it.
There is no account, no cloud storage, no draft history, and no recovery. When the room closes, reloads, or wipes, the text is gone. A saved copy exists only if you copy it yourself.
The only browser storage is your light or dark appearance preference. The site does not store drafts in browser storage, cookies, or a database. Page visits are counted without cookies, and those requests never contain your writing.
The Mac app stores settings and a local trial session counter in its settings file on your Mac. That counter is not sent anywhere. Activating and checking a license sends license details and a random installation identifier to the license service, never your draft.
If you want to keep what you wrote, reach the end of the clock and choose COPY TEXT. Copying writes to your device clipboard only when you ask, and your operating system or clipboard manager may keep that copy. The same no-backup rule applies on the Mac.

Frequent questions
Is my draft uploaded to a server?

Does Write It Down keep a history of my drafts?
No. There is no history, no account, and no recovery. A draft exists only in the session that is open.
Does the Mac app send anything?
License activation and checks send license details and a random installation identifier to the license service, never your draft. The local trial session counter is not sent anywhere. Update checks are opt-in; the privacy policy covers what they send.
