Getting Started
Open Variable Time
Go to → Variable Time with your browser.
If you are on a Mac, we recommend using Chrome.
You should see this:
This is it! You started :-)
PS: You perhaps noticed, that we opened the browser in incognito mode. This is a bit dangerous. Why? Read the notes below to find out.
Notes
Everything is on your machine
All of your work happens in your browser on your machine. At no time we will collect any data about you or your projects. You can open Variable Time, and once the page finished loading, plug out your wifi cable and keep on working.
Your project data is stored in the browser itself. If you work on a project in Variable Time, then close your browser and open it again, the project will still be there exactly how you left it.
Incognito is means everything dissapears
This also means, that if you open Variable Time in incognito mode, all data is cleared when you close the tab. If you clear all Cookies and Site Cache of your browser, your project will be lost as well. If you open Variable Time in a new browser, it will not know about your work done in another browser. There are no user accounts. There is no way for us (or anyone), to restore a project that you lost.
Actually this is great, because it proves to you that we're not doing anything weird with your data. Perhaps you are working with a super secret special Font. Now you're worried to upload it. In this case: don't worry. Adding a font is just copying it in your browser. The font will never leave your machine and will not be uploaded to our server.
However, sometimes you may want to back up your progress or move your work from one browser to another - perhaps even to another computer. Luckily, this is possible by saving and loading your project. How to do this, you can read up in the next step:
