You may want to backup (export) and restore (import) your data if you're transferring to another device, another browser, or as a general precaution. You can backup your data by going to OPTIONS > DATA. You will see a few buttons:

  1. Backup Data
  2. Restore Data
  3. Text Backup/Restore
  4. Download Settings
  5. Reset Data

Backup Data

Click the Backup Data button to download your data to a text file in JSON format. If for some reason you can't download the file, try using the Text Backup/Restore button instead.

Restore Data

Click the Restore Data button to pick and choose a previously backed up file. If you have any issues restoring data, be sure that the data in the file starts with { and ends with } or use the Text Backup/Restore button instead.

Text Backup/Restore

Click the Text Backup/Restore button to open a dialog that can let you copy or restore your data straight from the text input.

If you want to backup, just click the Copy button and paste the contents into a text file. You can name it whatever you like, but make sure sure the file extension is .json (example: My_Backup.json).

If you're restoring data, select, copy, and paste the entire contents of the backup text file into the text input and click the Restore Data button.

Download Settings

You can change where the backup is saved by clicking the Download Settings button or by going to the download settings in your browser's settings page.

Reset Data

If you made a mistake in setting some settings or the app's data seems to be corrupted, you can reset you entire data cleanly. This will be a two-step process that brings up a dialog that will you allow to confirm or deny the reset. If applicable, Saves will not be reset, and neither will your Stats, so this is a relatively safe operation to perform when needed.
