​
Storage architecture

Tarkov Kappa Navi uses a local-first architecture. All your data is stored directly in your browser using IndexedDB (via the Dexie library), with no cloud synchronization or server dependency.

​
What data is stored

Your browser stores the following data locally:
  • Profile: Player level, wipe ID, language preference, auto-start settings
  • Quest progress: Task status (not started, in progress, done) for all quests
  • Progress logs: Timestamped history of all status changes
  • Notes: Personal notes attached to specific tasks
  • Now pins: Up to 3 tasks pinned to your “Now” panel
  • Hideout progress: Built hideout station levels and item inventory
  • Map pins: Custom markers on interactive maps with colors, shapes, and labels
  • Pin presets: Saved collections of map pins for reuse
All data persists across browser sessions. Your progress is preserved even when you close the tab or restart your browser.

​
Export and import

​
Exporting your data

Create a backup of your entire progress:
1

Navigate to Settings

Go to the Settings page from the main navigation.
2

Find Export/Import section

Locate the “Export / Import” card.
3

Download JSON file

Click the Export button to download a .json file containing all your data.
The exported file includes:
  • Profile settings (level, wipe ID)
  • All quest progress and status history
  • Task notes
  • Now pins
  • Hideout progress and inventory
  • Map pins and presets

​
Importing data

Restore a backup or transfer progress to another browser:
1

Prepare JSON file

Locate your previously exported .json backup file.
2

Navigate to Settings

Go to Settings → Export / Import section.
3

Select and import

Click Import, select your JSON file, and confirm.
Importing data will overwrite your current progress. Make sure to export your current data first if you want to keep it.

​
Wipe reset

When Escape from Tarkov releases a new wipe, you can reset your progress while preserving your settings:
1

Navigate to Settings

Go to the Settings page.
2

Find Danger Zone

Scroll to the Danger Zone section at the bottom.
3

Reset progress

Click the Reset all progress button and confirm the action.
This will:
  • Reset all quest statuses to “not started”
  • Clear progress logs
  • Remove all notes
  • Clear Now pins
  • Reset hideout progress and inventory
Your player level, language settings, and tier thresholds will be preserved after a wipe reset.

​
Browser storage limits

IndexedDB storage limits vary by browser:
BrowserTypical Limit
Chrome~60% of available disk space
Firefox~50% of available disk space
Safari~1 GB (may prompt user)
Tarkov Kappa Navi’s data footprint is typically under 5 MB for a full playthrough, well below browser limits.
If you clear browser data or cookies, your IndexedDB data will also be deleted. Always keep an exported JSON backup.

​
Backup best practices

1

Regular exports

Export your data weekly or after major progress milestones.
2

Pre-wipe backup

Export your data before resetting for a new wipe, in case you need to reference old progress.
3

Multiple locations

Save backups to cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox) or external drives.
4

Before browser changes

Export data before switching browsers or clearing browser data.

​
Wipe ID system

The Wipe ID field in Settings allows you to track which game wipe your data belongs to:
  • Default: default
  • Examples: Jan2025, 0.15.2, wipe-15
  • Used to separate map pins and progress across different wipes
  • Change it in Settings → Player → Wipe ID
Changing your Wipe ID does not reset your progress. It’s purely an organizational label. Use the Danger Zone reset function to actually clear progress.
