What Markside does

• Reads Markdown files from your local file system (file:// URLs) and renders them in the browser
• Stores your opened folder handle and recently accessed file handles in your browser's local IndexedDB so you don't have to re-authorize on every visit

What Markside does not do

• Does not send any file contents, paths, or metadata to any external server
• Does not collect usage analytics or telemetry
• Does not track browsing history
• Does not use cookies
• Does not communicate with any external server

Data stored locally

The following data is stored in your browser's IndexedDB, on your device only:

• The FileSystemDirectoryHandle of the last folder you opened (used to restore the file tree)
• FileSystemFileHandle references for recently accessed files (used to restore write access)

This data never leaves your device.

Permissions

• file:// access — Required to read local Markdown files. Must be enabled manually via "Allow access to file URLs" in extension settings.
