Google OAuth Integration

MDReader offers an optional Google Docs export feature. When you choose to use this feature:

  • You will be redirected to Google's authentication page
  • We request permission only to create Google Docs documents
  • Your Google access token is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and is never sent to our servers
  • We do not access your Google account data beyond creating documents you explicitly request

Local Storage

MDReader uses your browser's localStorage to store:

  • Google OAuth tokens (if you use the Google Docs export feature)

This data never leaves your device and can be cleared by clearing your browser data.
