How Chrometa Stores Data Locally and in the Cloud – Chrometa

Chrometa ensures your time tracking data is safely stored both locally on your device and securely in the cloud. This article explains how Chrometa manages data storage across your devices and online, so you can access your tracked time anywhere, anytime.

How Chrometa Stores Data Locally on Your PC/Mac

Chrometa captures time from your local device—whether you're using a PC or Mac—and stores that data locally on the device where it is installed. This is useful for maintaining a backup and ensuring data is saved even when you're not connected to the internet.

Local Storage: Each time entry is initially saved on the device where the activity was recorded (PC or Mac).
Offline Use: If you’re working offline, Chrometa will continue to track and store time locally. Once you reconnect to the internet, all data will automatically sync to the cloud.
Data Security: Chrometa encrypts local data, ensuring your information is stored securely on your device.

How Chrometa Syncs Data to the Cloud

Once your device is connected to the internet, Chrometa synchronizes your locally stored data with its cloud servers. This enables you to access your time tracking data from any device, at any time.

Automatic Syncing: As soon as your device is online, Chrometa will automatically sync the local data with your cloud account.
Cloud Backup: All time entries are securely stored on Chrometa's cloud servers, providing a reliable backup. Even if you lose access to your device, you can retrieve your data by logging into your Chrometa account from another device.
Cross-Device Access: With data stored in the cloud, you can track time on one device and view or manage it from another. This makes Chrometa perfect for users who switch between multiple devices.

How to Access Your Cloud Data

Accessing your time tracking data from the cloud is simple and convenient. Here’s how:

Login to your Chrometa account on any web browser.
Navigate to the Timeline section to view all your synchronized data.
Any time entries that were captured on multiple devices will appear in one unified timeline.
You can export, organize, or edit your time entries directly from your online account.

Offline Access: Continue tracking time even without an internet connection—your data will be saved locally and synced once you're back online.
