This is it! You started :-)
## Notes
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.
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.
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:

Even though we are creating this tool and experiments mainly for ourselves, we want it to be accessible to everyone. So we decided to make it free to use. Furthermore, we made it open source and contributed to various open source projects in the course of its creation.
This also means, that there are possibly quite some bugs that we didn't discover yet. We are a tiny development team of two people. :-)
### More
No, nothing more for now. Please, explore the documentation and the tool itself. We hope you'll love it!

# Projects
A project contains all information of what you're doing with Variable Time:
- Asset Files
- Animation Data
- Artboard settings
- Layer settings
You can save and load your project. This way you can backup your work, or move between browsers and computers.
## How to save your project
* Click on "Save Project"
This will prepare and download a zipfile with your project data. If you want to make sure it works, open an incognito tab and load the zipfile. Everything should be there. Why an incognito tab? Should anything go wrong, you are not in danger of losing your progress.
