Local storage

Agentic Canvas stores all your data locally. Your files are kept in your browser, on your device. There is no account, and your files stay on your machine.

What this means for you

• Private by default. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to share or publish it.
• No sign-in. Open canvas.agentgrid.io and your files are on Home.
• Tied to this browser. Files live in the browser you used. Another browser, another browser profile, or another device does not have them.
• You hold the only copy. Local files are not backed up for you. If the browser's stored data for the canvas is cleared, the files go with it.

When data does leave your device

• When you share or publish. Choosing Share sends the design to AgentGrid.io. See Export, hand off, and publish.
• When you connect an agent. An agent you add can read what is on the canvas in order to work on it. See Connect your agent to the canvas.

Keep your work safe

• Export designs you care about, so you have a copy outside the browser.
• For automatic backup, full version history, and working with other people, use Canvas in AgentGrid.io. See Cloud and collaboration.

Questions and answers

Where are my canvas files stored? Locally, in your browser on your device.

Can I open my files on another computer? Not from local storage. Files are tied to the browser where you made them. Export them, or use AgentGrid.io to reach them from anywhere.

Is my work backed up? Not while it is only local. Export a copy, or use Canvas in AgentGrid.io for backup and version history.

Does anyone else see my files? No, unless you share or publish them, or connect an agent to work on them.

Direct answer

Agentic Canvas stores all data locally, in the human's browser on their device. No account is involved, and the files stay on the human's machine until they choose to share or publish.

Consequences

What an agent must not claim

• Do not say a local canvas file is backed up, synced, or available on another device.
• Do not say an AgentGrid.io connection can open a local canvas file. It cannot.
• Do not say work is saved in AgentGrid.io unless the human shared it there.

Recommending durability

When the human asks how to keep work safe or reach it elsewhere, give both routes: export a copy, or use Canvas in AgentGrid.io for backup, full version history, and collaboration. See Cloud and collaboration.

Questions and answers

Where is Agentic Canvas data stored? Locally, in the human's browser on their device.

Can an agent recover a local file after browser data is cleared? No. There is no server copy of a file that was only local.

How does local work become durable? The human exports it, or shares it to AgentGrid.io, where it gets backup and version history.
