Is TomoLayout a save editor?

Where is my layout saved?
The current layout is saved in this browser using local storage. It is not uploaded to the TomoLayout server.
Can I continue on another device?
Layouts do not sync automatically between devices. Export a JSON backup before moving to another device, then import the JSON file there.
What happens when I pin a reference link?
The public source link is attached to your local project as a reference note, so creator information and the original page remain easy to find.
Is TomoLayout affiliated with Nintendo?
No. TomoLayout is an independent fan-made tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo.
Which island sizes are supported?

Can TomoLayout generate an island layout for me?
Yes. The Island Auto Generator can create several types of starting layouts. Every generated result remains fully editable, so you can move, erase, lock, or replace anything afterward.
Can I keep more than one layout version?
Yes. Autosave keeps the latest version, and four manual browser save slots let you keep alternate versions on the same device. Use JSON export for a portable backup.
Can I add a custom building?
Yes. You can create a custom building by setting its width, depth, name, and 3D height.

Does TomoLayout work on Android?

Is TomoLayout a map editor or save editor?
