Back up and restore

A Billine backup is a JSON export. Keep one somewhere safe, and bring it back with Import on any device.

Make a backup

  1. Open Settings › Your data › Export (or ⌘⇧E).
  2. Choose JSON, which holds everything: tasks, projects, areas, labels, repeats, reminders, plans and settings.
  3. Save to Files… somewhere you keep backups, or Share… it.

It’s free, with or without Billine Pro.

Restore it

  1. Open Settings › Your data › Import (or ⌘⇧I).
  2. Choose Billine backup and pick the JSON file.
  3. Billine shows what it will bring back. Tap Import.

Restoring only adds what’s missing. Anything already here stays as it is, so restoring onto a device that has some of your tasks never duplicates them. If everything in the file is already there, Billine says so.

Good to know

Backups don’t include attached files. Keep important files somewhere else as well, or use iCloud sync, which carries them between your devices.

Or let iCloud keep it

With Billine Pro, iCloud sync keeps a copy of everything, attachments included, in your own iCloud account, and a new device gets it all when you turn sync on.

  • Export your tasks Take everything out of Billine at any time. JSON and CSV are free forever; Billine Pro adds formats made for sharing.
  • Turn on iCloud sync Keep your tasks the same on iPhone, iPad and Mac, through your own iCloud account.
