Storage and Vault Export

The Settings > Storage panel gives you visibility into how your vault’s disk space is used and tools to maintain it.

Storage overview

The top section shows your total vault size with a progress bar against your configured storage limit. Below that, a breakdown chart shows how space is distributed across four categories:

CategoryWhat it includes
DocumentsYour wiki pages
Version historyCRDT snapshots and edit history
Secrets vaultEncrypted secrets and project keys
Pending syncOutbound sync data queued for peers

A metrics row shows counts for pages, projects, and workspaces in your vault. The vault creation date is displayed in the header.

Storage limit

You can set a soft storage limit (in MB or GB) to receive a warning when your vault approaches the threshold. When usage exceeds 80% of the limit, an amber warning banner appears at the top of the storage panel.

To change the limit, enter a number and select the unit (MB or GB). The limit saves automatically when you press Enter or click away.

Manual compaction

Click the compact now button in the maintenance section to merge hot CRDT updates into compacted snapshots. This can reclaim space after heavy editing. A status message confirms how many documents were compacted.

Compaction is safe to run at any time. It merges incremental edits into efficient snapshots without losing any data.

Vault export

The export vault button opens a modal where you can create an encrypted backup of your vault content.

Step 1 — Select content

Choose what to include in the export:

  • Export everything — Includes every page, project key (with decrypted values), and secret across every workspace.
  • Selective export — Browse your workspaces and check individual pages and secrets to include.

The right-hand summary panel shows counts of selected workspaces, pages, project keys, and secrets.

Step 2 — Set export password

Enter a password for the archive. The export is sealed as a password-protected zip file using AES-256 encryption. Each workspace becomes a separate markdown file inside the zip.

Click seal and export to write the archive to your downloads folder. A toast notification confirms the export path — click it to reveal the file in your file manager.

The export password is separate from your vault password. Keep it safe — the exported markdown files cannot be read without it.
