Privacy and Security

MikroSlides is designed as a local-first browser app. There is no account system and no MikroSlides application backend in the current product.

Local Storage

• Decks are stored in browser IndexedDB.
• Saved slide templates, focus-mode preference, active deck id, and recovery drafts are stored in localStorage.
• Clearing browser site data removes local decks and preferences.

Network Access

• The app shell can be served from any static host.
• A deck can reference remote image URLs. The browser loads those images when the slide renders.
• Portable export and PNG export may fetch remote image URLs already present in the deck to embed or render them.
• Remote font sources may load from their configured provider when a deck uses them.
• The app does not send deck data to a MikroSlides service.

File Exports

• .mikroslides.json contains editable deck data, including speaker notes.
• .mikroslides contains editable deck data plus embedded image and font assets where available.
• PNG export renders the current slide in the browser.
• PDF export uses the browser print/save-to-PDF flow.

Sharing Notes

• Treat exported files as containing the full deck content, including speaker notes and embedded assets.
• Review remote image and font usage before sharing portable files if source URLs are sensitive.
• For shared or managed machines, use a separate browser profile or clear site data after use.
