Actually I'm puzzled what the use case might be. If you can't trust your data in it for long, and if there is no synchronization, then what are the use cases? Mostly I could see it in an environment where every other save technique is disallowed and where you don't mind if the data could be exposed. Perhaps a system where your only connection to the outside world is via email. Perhaps a mechanism for using TW for collating and processing information, that then gets copied and pasted elsewhere. What else .... although your data isn't secure, if you've ever rifled through your FF profile for information (like I did with NoteSelf), it's definitely obscure. Obscure may be good enough when all you want is to not leave a trail of files behind.
Other ideas? -- Mark There's another product, Laverna, that uses local and/or indexed storage as well. They tout that they have an emphasis on privacy, because your data isn't on the web.
