Settings
Session-only mode
Skip localStorage for this document — refresh wipes it.
Status bar toggle near the `local-only` badge.
What it does
Disables the localStorage persistence layer for the editor content. The document is held in memory only — refresh, close tab, or browser crash clears it.
When to use
Anytime you paste something sensitive: JWTs, customer PII, internal IDs, secrets. Session-only ensures it disappears the moment you're done.
What stays saved
Theme, indent, view choice, schema text, query text — these all still persist. Only the main document and diff input are dropped.
Examples
Inspect a production payload safely
An on-call dev shared a payload that contains customer email addresses.
- Open MyJSON.
- Click `persisted` in the status bar — it flips to `session-only`.
- Paste, inspect.
- Refresh the tab. Editor is empty.
