Step-by-step guide to install, use, and keep your data safe — on any device, any browser.
Before anything else, understand how this tracker saves your data — no login, no cloud, no server.
Use Chrome for the best experience. Firefox and Edge also work but the install option may look different.
Type or tap the tracker link in the address bar. The tracker opens like a normal website.
This installs the tracker as an app icon on your home screen — no App Store needed.
You may also see a bottom banner ‘Add to Home Screen’ — tap that too.
Name it anything: ‘SEO Tracker’, ‘Study OS’. The icon will appear on your home screen.
The tracker opens fullscreen like a real app. All data saves automatically every time you tap.
Tip: The icon opens the tracker in a standalone window with no browser bar visible.
This step MUST use Safari. Chrome on iOS cannot add to home screen as a proper app. Use Safari only.
Type the tracker link in Safari’s address bar and open it.
Find this at the bottom center of Safari on iPhone, or at the top on iPad.
The Share icon looks like a square with an upward arrow. Scroll down in the share sheet if needed.
Scroll through share options until you see ‘Add to Home Screen’. Tap it.
Give it a name like ‘My Tracker’ and tap Add at the top right. The icon appears on your home screen.
Open the tracker from your home screen icon — NOT from Safari directly. This ensures data is stored correctly.
Important: always use the same icon. Opening from Safari directly uses a different storage space.
Both Chrome and Edge support installing web apps to your desktop. Firefox works but without the install feature.
Open the tracker link in the address bar.
In Chrome and Edge you’ll see a small install icon at the right side of the address bar. Click it and select ‘Install’.
No install icon? Go to the 3-dot menu → ‘Install [tracker name]’ or ‘Add to desktop’.
How to Install the Tracker to Home Screen / Desktop
1. Click the “Cast, save, and share” menu
(located inside the three-dot menu in Chrome)
2. Then look for the option:
“Install page as app”
(the name may vary slightly depending on your Chrome version)
3. Click that option
4. A small popup window will appear
→ click Install
5. After the installation is complete, you may see a notification in the bottom-left corner:
“Would you like to pin it to the taskbar?”
Click Yes
And done 🎉
A small popup appears asking to install. Click Install. A desktop shortcut is created.
From now on open from the desktop icon. It opens as a standalone window without the browser bar.
Tip: Pin it to your taskbar for one-click access every day.
Follow these rules to keep your data safe and your experience smooth.
✓ Always open from the same icon or shortcut you created
✓ Use the Export button to backup your data at least once a week
✓ Save backup files in Google Drive or a safe cloud folder
✓ Use Import to restore data when switching devices
✓ Use the same browser consistently on each device
✓ On iPhone, always open from the Home Screen icon — not Safari
✓ If you use multiple devices, Export from one and Import to the other
✕ Don’t use Incognito / Private mode — data disappears when you close it
✕ Don’t clear browser cache or site data — this erases your tracker data
✕ Don’t expect data to sync between devices automatically — it won’t
✕ Don’t switch browsers without exporting first
✕ Don’t uninstall the browser without backing up first
✕ Don’t assume data is in the cloud — it only lives on your device
✕ Don’t open tracker from two different places — pick one and stick to it
Nothing — data persists automatically
Nothing needed
Nothing needed
Export from original browser, Import to new one
Export from old device, Import on new device
Always Export BEFORE clearing anything
Never use tracker in private mode
Export before uninstalling browser
Browser updates do not touch localStorage
Export before any factory reset
Export saves all your data as a single file you can restore anytime, on any device.
A file like tracker_backup_2025-05-21.json downloads automatically to your device.
Store it in Google Drive, iCloud, or a folder you will remember.
All your previous data loads back instantly. Works on any device as long as you have the file.
If you use the tracker daily, export once a week minimum. Keep the last 3 backup files so you can go back if needed.
Pro tip: name files with dates — tracker_backup_2025-05-16.json
This tracker stores everything locally on your device — total privacy, zero server dependency. The tradeoff: you are in charge of keeping your data safe. Export regularly. Store backups in Google Drive or iCloud. That is all you need to do.
This tracker stores all data locally on your device using your browser’s local storage. SandhyStudio does not collect, access, monitor, or store any personal data from users who visit or use this tracker. No data is transmitted to external servers.
This tracker is provided free of charge for the benefit of the community and personal productivity purposes. Because all data is stored locally on your own device, you are fully responsible for maintaining, exporting, and backing up your data regularly.
SandhyStudio is not liable for any data loss, corruption, deletion, browser reset, device failure, software issues, or unexpected errors that may result in the loss of stored information. We strongly recommend exporting and backing up your data regularly using services such as Google Drive or iCloud.
Yes. localStorage persists across browser sessions. Your data is exactly where you left it — as long as you use the same browser on the same device and have not cleared cache.
Yes, but data is NOT synced between them automatically. Each device has its own separate data. To move data between devices, use Export on one device and Import on the other.
It depends. ‘Clear history’ usually does not touch localStorage. But ‘Clear site data’ or ‘Clear all browsing data’ often does. This is why regular Export backups are important.
On your old phone, open the tracker and tap Export. Save the file to Google Drive or email it to yourself. On your new phone, open the tracker, tap Import, and select that file.
Yes — once loaded at least once, the tracker works fully offline. All saving and reading happens on your device. You only need internet the very first time you open it.
No. Your data never leaves your device. Stored only in your browser’s localStorage — not sent to any server, not visible to SandhyStudio, not stored in any database. Total privacy.
Most browsers allow 5–10 MB per domain. For text-based tracker data this is more than enough for years of daily use. You will very likely never hit the limit.
