Local Draft Saving & Privacy
This editor automatically stores your work locally in your browser's memory (localStorage) as you type. If you accidentally close the tab or refresh the page, your draft will be fully restored when you return. Because everything runs client-side, your confidential drafts (resumes, academic articles, agreements) never leave your device.
