Project Storage and Recovery

Learnitive uses a local-first two-replica project model. Browser/OPFS is the normal working copy and one optional Projects Folder is the durable, human-accessible filesystem replica.

No account project registry

Normal project names, slugs, modes and inventory are not registered in the SaaS database for storage or recovery. Project identity travels with the Browser workspace and, when connected, the project's own .learnitive/project.json manifest.

Connect storage

Open Projects → Storage → Local Folder. No login is required. Learnitive opens the browser directory picker and synchronizes every normal Browser project into <Projects Folder>/<projectSlug>/.

Recovery after Browser data loss

If Browser/OPFS, IndexedDB and the saved directory handle are cleared, choose Recover Projects Folder and select the same filesystem folder again. The root index is rebuildable from child project manifests, so a missing root index does not prevent recovery.

Disconnected deletion semantics

The Projects Folder is a durable backup replica. If you delete a Browser project while the Projects Folder is disconnected, an older untouched copy may still be offered during a later recovery. Learnitive warns before that deletion. When the folder is connected, local tombstones/trash prevent normal deleted projects from being restored accidentally.

Accounts and online services

Login is independent from project storage. Features that consume authenticated server resources, such as paid compute or hosted collaboration, may ask you to sign in when you invoke them. That does not register the local project as account inventory.
