Local storage is now supported in IFRAME sandbox mode:

function doGet() {
     return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Index')
        .setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
}

<script>
    localStorage.setItem("mynote", "test msg");
    var note = localStorage.getItem("mynote");
    alert(note);
</script>

localStorage is not supported. It may be supported in the future, and an issue tracker feature request is appropriate.

localStorage is a part of HTML 5 which isn't supported by Apps Script. If you look at the documentation , it says Apps Script currently supports HTML 4.01.

However, you can open an enhancement request in the Issue Tracker to request for this feature.

As an alternative, you can use UserProperties or CacheService for your requirements.
