The public demo at demo.open-todo.app is a real OpenTodo server in demo mode: every visitor gets a private sandbox with sample data, and nothing in it is kept. This page says how it behaves and where to look when it does not answer. How the demo works
A sandbox is deleted after two hours without activity, a day after it was created at the latest, and every day at 03:00 UTC the server deletes every sandbox and compacts its database. An open tab learns on its next request and offers a new sandbox.
Expiry and the nightly resetFeatures that could be abused on a public server are disabled in demo mode: sign-up and invitations, user administration, password changes and reset links, single sign-on, and the owner-only settings. Nobody can sign in as the owner.
Demo modeEach sandbox is its own account with its own copy of the sample data. Nobody sees anybody else's sandbox, membership changes are refused, and there is no share link or public page. Still, do not store anything personal there.
IsolationYour own server keeps your data, resets never, and takes about twenty minutes to set up.
