A file vault that stays in your browser

The Workspace is an optional drawer where files you process on Absolutool tools can be parked between sessions. It is the closest thing the site has to a "user account," and it differs from a normal account in one important way: nothing is uploaded. Every file you save here lives in your browser's IndexedDB, a per-origin local database that the browser persists to disk and isolates from every other website. Closing the tab does not delete the files; rebooting your computer does not delete them; clearing site data does. There is no server-side copy, anywhere.

What you can do here

• Browse every file you've saved, grouped by the tool that produced it.
• Search across filenames with the search box at the top.
• Filter by source tool with the dropdown next to it.
• Sort by date, name, or size.
• Switch between grid and list view depending on how many files you have.
• Organise with folders — create them with "New Folder" and drag files in.
• Download any file back to your device's regular downloads folder.
• Delete individual files or, with confirmation, clear everything at once.

Storage capacity and limits

Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) typically allow IndexedDB to use up to roughly 60% of available disk space per origin on desktop, with a per-origin cap that the browser may shrink if storage is tight. In practice this is many gigabytes for most desktops and several hundred megabytes on phones. The browser will warn or refuse if you approach the cap. If you want a hard guarantee against eviction, you can grant the site "Persistent Storage" permission via your browser's site settings — but for most users the default behaviour is fine.

Important caveats

• Per-browser, not per-account. Files saved in Chrome on your laptop do not appear in Firefox on the same laptop, and they do not sync to your phone. There is no account; there is no cloud sync. Each browser on each device has its own independent vault.
• Private/incognito windows do not persist. Files saved while in a private browsing window are deleted when the window closes. Use a normal window if you want files to stick around.
• "Clear browsing data" wipes the vault. If you clear cookies and site data for absolutool.com (or for "all sites" in your browser), the IndexedDB store for this origin is cleared with it. There is no recovery — we do not have a copy.
• Backup is your responsibility. Important files should be downloaded to your real filesystem (or your own cloud storage) rather than relying on the Workspace alone.

Why a local-only vault?

A traditional cloud vault would need to upload your files, which is exactly what every tool on the site is designed to avoid. A local IndexedDB vault preserves the privacy guarantee — your files never leave your device, even if you save them between sessions — at the cost of cross-device sync. For users who want their files in one place across devices, downloading to a cloud-sync folder of their choice (Dropbox, iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Google Drive, Syncthing) gives full control over which third party, if any, sees the data.
