Classfern doesn't need an account, so where does your work go? It's saved in your browser, on the device you're using, as you type. Nothing is sent to us.

That keeps it private, but it means two things. First, your plans won't appear in a different browser or on another computer. Second, if you clear your browser's data, your work goes with it.

So, now and then, open My plans and press Download backup. On another computer, open My plans, choose Restore from backup, and pick the file. You can see exactly what Classfern stores on the cookies and storage page.

Try the Lesson Plan Maker now at lessonplanner.info. It's free, and you don't need an account.
