Privacy
The short version: Lede has no account system and no upload backend. Your designs and images stay on your device. Lede uses cookie-free analytics for aggregate product metrics only.
Lede is a single-page web app. Composing, editing, and exporting run in your browser. There is no upload endpoint or app database that stores your work.
What stays on your device
- Background images you upload
- Exported PNG, JPG, and WebP files
- Your current design state (title, subtitle, layout, colors, fonts, etc.), which auto-saves to
your browser's
localStorage - Uploaded image blobs, cached in your browser's
IndexedDB
Clearing your browser's site data for lede.itznotabug.dev removes all of the above.
Analytics
Lede records cookie-free, aggregate analytics to understand basic product usage. Events may describe the coarse structure of a design or action, such as selected export presets, but never the user-created content itself.
Analytics do not record user-created content: text, images, filenames, image URLs, share hashes, saved browser data, raw designs, clipboard contents, searches, exact colors, or error details.
Lede analytics does not use cookies, fingerprinting, ad pixels, remarketing, or session replay.
What's loaded from third parties
To display fonts and icons, your browser fetches files from these public CDNs the first time you use a font or open an icon pack. As with any web request, those services may log standard request metadata (your IP address and User-Agent):
- Bunny Fonts -
fonts.bunny.netfor typefaces beyond the built-in set (the core fonts ship with the site, no request needed). Bunny Fonts is a privacy-first, GDPR-compliant CDN that does not log personal data. See Bunny Fonts. - Iconify (jsDelivr) -
cdn.jsdelivr.netfor icon pack JSON. The icon pack is then cached locally so subsequent loads are offline. - Hosting provider - the site is served by Appwrite Sites, which keeps standard access logs.
None of these third parties receive your designs or any image you upload.
What Lede does not do
- No accounts or sign-up
- No cookies, fingerprinting, tracking pixels, ads, remarketing, or session replay
- No uploading of your images to any server
- No selling or sharing of user-created content
Shareable template URLs
When you use the "Share" feature, the design (colors, fonts, layout, dimensions, text) is encoded into the URL itself. Anyone with the link can reproduce that design on their own device. Uploaded images are not included in the link - they never leave the device that created them.
