Backup & Data

Keep your data safe with local storage and backups.

Your data in Koubou is stored locally in your browser. This means complete privacy—your content never touches our servers.

Local-First Storage

All your data is stored in your browser:

  • Projects and files
  • Smart Prompts
  • Workflows
  • Blueprints
  • Personas
  • Notes
  • AI settings

Privacy benefit: Only minimal account information is stored in the cloud for authentication. Your content stays on your device.

Google Drive Backup

Automatic backups to Google Drive keep your data safe:

  1. Enable in account settings
  2. Configure backup frequency (5 minutes to 12 hours)
  3. Set how many backups to keep
  4. Backups are stored in a “Koubou Backups” folder

Note: Google only grants access to your Google Drive for 1 hour after you grant permission. This means automatic backups will only run during that window. You’ll need to re-authorize periodically to continue automatic backups.

Manual Backup

Download a complete backup file anytime:

  1. Go to account settings
  2. Click Download Backup
  3. A JSON file downloads containing all your data

Keep this file somewhere safe as an extra precaution.

Restoring from Backup

To restore data from a backup file:

  1. Go to account settings
  2. Click Restore from Backup
  3. Select your backup file
  4. Confirm restoration

Important: Restoration replaces all current data. The backup must be from the same user account.
