Store Your Files Locally with Linearity Pro

Store your files where you want with Linearity Pro 🎉

With Linearity Pro, you can now choose where your files live. Save designs directly on your device, in iCloud, or in any local folder, and decide when (or if) they sync with Linearity Cloud.

Many of you told us that while cloud storage is useful, it shouldn’t be the only option. " Let me store my files where I want,” you said. You want the flexibility to decide how and where your work is stored:

• The freedom to choose where your files live
• More control over your work, even when you’re offline
• Less reliance on a single way of working

We heard you. And today, we’re excited to announce: with Linearity Pro, you can now choose to store files locally.

What this means for you

• Pro users can now create, save, and open files anywhere on Mac, iPad and iPhone. You’ll have complete control over whether a file stays offline-only or syncs with Linearity Cloud.
• Free users will continue to use the simplicity of Linearity Cloud with an 8-file cap.

With this update, you get the best of both worlds:

• Work offline when you want.
• Use the cloud when it makes sense.
• Move files freely between your device and Linearity Cloud.

Designed with choice in mind

When you open a file from Finder or Files app, Curve will ask how you’d like to work:

• Edit Original File → work directly on the local file where it’s stored.
• Upload to Cloud → create a cloud copy and place it in a project within your Workspace.

If you open a file from On My iPad or Mac (inside the app), it will be saved locally by default. Any locally stored file can be synced to the Cloud whenever you choose.

You can also set a default preference, so Curve handles files exactly the way you prefer.

Built around your preferences

Linearity Curve gives you the choice to work with cloud storage, local files, or a mix of both.

Cloud storage is still available when you want to sync across devices, but now you can also choose to keep your work stored locally, offline and fully on your device.

It’s up to you to decide what works best for you.

If you want step-by-step instructions, we’ve put together short user guides for each platform:
