title: Saving on Browser with File System Access API
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

Tiddlywiki can save changes to the filesystem without [[downloading a new file each time|Saving with the HTML5 fallback saver]]
each time using the [[File System Access API|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_Access_API]].

<<.warning "This API is not yet fully standardized hence this method of saving is somewhat experimental.">>

The API used by this saver works in most Chromium based browsers. See [[caniuse|https://caniuse.com/native-filesystem-api]]
for up to date information on browser support.
