Freelance Flow provides comprehensive backup and restore features to ensure your data is always safe. Access this feature in Settings > Data tab.

Export Data

Create a full backup of all your data for safekeeping:

Recommended

Human-readable spreadsheet with separate sheets for Tasks, Clients, Quotes, etc. Easy to view and edit in Excel or Google Sheets.

Raw data format, ideal for technical users or automated workflows. Preserves all data exactly as stored.

Restore data from a previously exported backup file:

Combines imported data with existing data. Useful when transferring data between devices without losing current work.

Replaces all existing data with imported data. Use when restoring from a full backup or starting fresh.

The system automatically protects your data:

Data is automatically backed up every 24 hours to local browser storage.

Up to 5 recent backups are kept, allowing you to restore from any previous version.

If main data is lost (e.g., after clearing browser data), the system attempts automatic recovery from backup.

Clear all data permanently. This action cannot be undone!

Removes tasks, clients, quotes, etc. but keeps backup history for potential recovery.

Removes everything including backup history. Fresh start with no recovery option.
