Your data is yours: backups and export
A Pro feature: export everything you've saved — as a simple file, a spreadsheet, or a full zip with your documents — and import it back. You can even lock a backup with a password. No lock-in, ever.

Your library is yours — truly yours. On Pro, you can take a full copy with you whenever you want, in a format you can actually open. No locked doors, no holding your stuff hostage. I think that's how it should be.
What it is
Backup and export is a Pro feature. With Pro you can export everything you've saved as a downloadable file, and import it back later or on another device. You choose the format, and you can even lock a backup with a password. (On Free, your library stays safely on your device, but backups and export aren't included — that's part of what Pro is for.)
Why you'll love it
- Peace of mind: a copy of your whole library, in your hands.
- No lock-in — leave anytime with all your data.
- A password-locked backup keeps sensitive things extra safe.
How to use it
- Make sure you're on Pro (backup and export live there).
- Open Settings and find the Data section.
- Pick your export:
- JSON — a complete snapshot, perfect for importing back.
- CSV — a spreadsheet, great for opening in Excel or Sheets.
- ZIP — everything including your attached documents and photos.
- Encrypted — a
.encfile locked with a password you choose. - Download and keep it somewhere safe.
- To bring data in, use Import and pick your file.
A gentle habit: save a backup now and then, especially before big changes. It takes seconds and it's a lovely safety net.
Good to know
- Export and import are part of the Pro plan. On Free, your bookmarks stay on your device; upgrade to Pro to back up, export, and import.
- An encrypted backup is scrambled so only someone with your password can open it — don't lose that password, because I can't unlock it for you.
- Importing merges sensibly; it won't clobber things at random.
