Privacy & local storage

CutSimply keeps the free calculator lightweight.

At this stage, CutSimply is a public calculator. Saved jobs and machine profiles are stored in your own browser using local storage, not in a CutSimply account.

What is saved

Browser-only saves for now

Until accounts are added, CutSimply does not provide cloud syncing. Anything saved through the profile or job buttons stays on the device/browser you used.

Machine profilesSaved profiles are stored in your browser local storage so you can reload your own kerf, handling and timing defaults.
Saved jobsSaved jobs are also local to your browser. Clearing browser data, using another computer or using a different browser may remove or hide them.
Downloaded reportsReports are generated in your browser and downloaded to your own device as an HTML file.
Job linksCopy job link stores the job data inside the URL itself. The link can be long, but it does not require a server-side account or database.

Important notes

Use sensible workshop judgement

CutSimply is designed for rough planning, quoting and layout help. It is not a safety system, stock control system or guaranteed production promise.

No hidden precision claimTimes are estimates only and depend on machine condition, blade, feed, coolant, clamping, material condition, operator and handling.
No account recovery yetIf you lose local browser data, CutSimply cannot currently recover locally saved profiles or jobs.
Export important jobsUse the JSON export or report download for jobs you want to keep outside the browser.
