| Spaces as + | On / off |
Privacy
Everything runs in your browser: what you type or paste is processed by JavaScript on your device, not on a server. If you are signed out, nothing is saved at all. If you sign in with Google, your inputs and settings are saved privately to your account so they sync across devices.
