Your data

Everything stays on this device

Tendril keeps what you save in this browser only. That keeps it private, but it also means it can be lost if you clear your browsing data or switch phones. Make a backup now and then, and restore it on any device.

Saved on this device

App lock

Off

Lock Tendril with a PIN. Everything it saves, including recordings, is encrypted with your PIN, and the app locks when you leave it.

There’s no way to recover a forgotten PIN: the only option is to erase Tendril and start over. Make a backup first if you’re worried about that.

The lock keeps out people who pick up your phone and stops anyone reading Tendril’s files. A short PIN isn’t as strong as a long password against someone with special tools, so use 6 or more digits if that worries you.

Make a backup

Downloads one small file with everything above. Keep it somewhere private, like a password-protected folder or your own cloud storage.

With a password, the file is encrypted and nobody can read it without the password. If you forget it, the backup can’t be opened, not even by us.

Restore a backup

Choose a Tendril backup file. You’ll see what’s inside before anything is replaced.

Delete everything

Removes all Tendril data from this browser right away. Make a backup first if you might want it again.
