One feature that people have been asking about for a while now is an import-export function. This allows users to share their data across browsers or back it up in case they decide to clear their cache. Since all the data is currently stored in the browser’s cache, this new functionality ensures your data is saved as a permanent file on your computer.
I’m excited to announce that I’ve added save-and-load functionality to the stat block generator, the dungeon generator 2.0, the magic item generator, the world-building dashboard, and the timeline generator—all in their premium versions. So yes, this is a premium feature. Free users can still use the apps just as they have been, but if you want the added benefit of saving your data, you can join my Patreon as a $5 patron. That gives you access to the premium versions of all the apps, along with this new feature.
While this save/load functionality can be used on any of the above apps, you can actually back up the data from all your apps in one place. I have just provided the functionality directly in the apps themselves. So, for example, you can go to the statblock generator and back up all statblocks as well as any magic items or dungeons you may have generated in other apps, and you can choose which of these apps you would like to back up as well.
I know this has been a long-awaited feature, and I’m happy to finally deliver it. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
A Quick Word of Caution
While I’m confident this feature works well—I’ve tested it thoroughly myself—I recommend doing a quick sanity check the first time you use it. To be extra safe, don’t immediately upload your saved file into the same browser where you generated it. Instead, download your data from your primary browser (like Chrome) and upload it into another browser (like Firefox) just to confirm everything is working correctly. This ensures that even if something unexpected happens, your data is still safe on another browser.
While the upload feature will overwrite existing app data, I haven’t seen any indication that it would erase everything. Still, better safe than sorry. Once you’ve confirmed it works, you’re good to go!
I hope you find this feature useful and, as always, let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
