My watchlist

States and metrics you follow are stored only in this browser. Nothing is sent to our servers. Save more from any state profile or metric page.

Every "Save to watchlist" click writes one entry (a state or a metric's slug, name, and a short note, such as a state's overall grade) to your browser's localStorage under the key plainfoster:saved - no account, no cookie, no server round-trip. Because the list lives only in that browser, it will not follow you to a phone or a different computer on its own. Use Copy shareable link to move it: the button encodes your current watchlist as a compact payload appended to the URL after #list=, and opening that link on any device (including this one, after clearing your data) shows an "Add these to my watchlist" prompt that merges the shared entries into whatever is already saved there, skipping duplicates by slug.
