Technical Details
localStorage
We use browser localStorage, a web standard for storing data locally. Each piece of data is stored as a key-value pair.
Storage Limit
Browsers typically allow 5-10MB of localStorage per site. Our calculators use only a few kilobytes.
Same Browser Only
Data is tied to your browser. If you switch browsers or devices, your saved data won't transfer automatically.
Privacy
Data never leaves your device. It's not synced to any server or shared with anyone.
How to Clear Saved Data
To remove all saved calculator data from your browser:
Chrome / Edge
- Press F12 to open Developer Tools
- Go to the "Application" tab
- In the left sidebar, expand "Local Storage"
- Right-click on "https://intuitivecalc.com" and select "Clear"
Firefox
- Press F12 to open Developer Tools
- Go to the "Storage" tab
- Expand "Local Storage"

Safari

Quick Method (All Browsers)
Open your browser's console (F12 → Console) and run:
localStorage.clear()
Note: This clears all localStorage for this site only.
Important: No Cloud Sync
Your saved data is not synced across devices or browsers. This means:
- ! Data saved in Chrome won't appear in Firefox
- ! Data on your phone won't sync to your computer
- ! Private/Incognito mode doesn't save data
- ! Clearing browser data removes saved values
Tips for Managing Your Data

- 💡 Take Screenshots: For important calculations, take a screenshot of the results for your records.
- 💡 Bookmark with Values: Some calculators support URL parameters - bookmark specific scenarios.
