Privacy
The short version: Lede has no backend, no account, and no analytics. Your designs and images never leave your device.
Lede is a single-page web app. Every action - composing, editing, exporting - runs in your browser. There is no server-side rendering, no upload endpoint, and no database that holds 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.
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):
-
Google Fonts -
fonts.googleapis.comandfonts.gstatic.comfor typefaces. See Google's Fonts privacy FAQ. -
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 analytics, no tracking pixels, no cookies set by Lede itself
- No uploading of your images to any server
- No selling or sharing of any data, because there is none collected
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.
