Saving, importing & exporting

Autosave has your back; the library, JSON import/export, and build artifacts cover the rest.

Saving

  • Autosave: the working bench persists locally on every change; reload the page and you're where you left off, serial session and all.
  • My Circuits (Ctrl+S): a named local library with thumbnails, in File → My Circuits.
  • Export / Import JSON: the full circuit document as a file. Back it up, move machines, or hand it to someone to import.

Build artifacts

  • Image (PNG): a clean render of the circuit, grid and UI chrome stripped.
  • Bill of materials (CSV): parts grouped by type and value, ready for a shopping list.
  • SPICE netlist: a .cir card deck of the analog parts for cross-checking in ngspice.
  • Embed snippet: an iframe that shows a read-only live bench in a blog post.

Designing with an AI assistant

The built-in AI copilot (the sparkle button in the header) designs, explains, and debugs circuits with you. It is grounded in a design guide generated from the same component definitions the app runs, so what it suggests matches what the simulator actually does. It can emit a complete circuit as JSON that you load with File → Import.
