Back up and restore your tabs across devices with Cloud Backup

Cloud Backup is an opt-in, manual feature for signed-in users. There is no auto-save — each back up is a snapshot you choose to take. When you back up, Yellorn saves your open tabs to your account in Cloudflare KV. For each tab it stores:

• Tab text — the editor content of the tab.
• Format — the active format plugin (JSON, YAML, CSV, …) for the tab.
• Tab name — the label shown in the tab bar.
• Pinned state — whether you pinned the tab, and whether you locked its format.

What is not backed up: your colour palette, the editor / visualizer pane split, the visualizer view mode (tree / graph / table), cursor position, and your locally-stored settings. Those stay on the device. Tabs larger than your per-tab size quota are skipped during back up (see Quota below).

Back up

1. Sign in, then open Settings — from the Account panel in the editor's rail, or by visiting /settings directly.
2. In the Cloud Backup section, click Back up to Cloud. Yellorn uploads your current tabs immediately and a toast confirms how many tabs were backed up (and how many, if any, were skipped).

Restore

1. Open Yellorn on a different browser or device.
2. Sign in with the same account.
3. Open Settings and click Restore from Cloud. Yellorn replaces your current tabs with the backed-up snapshot, so review any local-only tabs you haven't backed up first — they will be overwritten.

Quota

A usage bar in the Settings Cloud Backup section shows how many tabs and how much of your byte quota you've used. Quota scales with your plan. If a tab is larger than the per-tab limit it is skipped during back up and the confirmation toast reports the count (for example, “Backed up 4 tab(s), 1 skipped (size/quota)”). To free up room, close tabs you no longer need before backing up.

Cloud Backup data is stored in Cloudflare KV under your account and is only accessible to you. It is removed when you delete your account. See the Privacy Policy for full details on how workspace data is handled.
