Sync

[Premium Feature]

Sync keeps your data the same on all your devices: iOS, Android, macOS and the web. Creating an account is free. Syncing needs the Premium Sync plan.

Setting Up Sync

Account screen: sign in or sign up

Create Account

During first launch:

  1. On the welcome screen, tap Sign Up
  2. Enter your email, your password, and the password again
  3. Tap Sign Up

The app then signs you in with the new account.

Later:

  1. Go to More → Account
  2. Tap Sign Up
  3. Enter your email, your password, and the password again
  4. Tap Sign Up

Sign In to Existing Account

  1. More → Account → Sign In
  2. Enter your email and password
  3. Tap Sign In
  4. Your data syncs automatically

Forgot the password? Tap Forgot password? on the sign-in screen.

How Sync Works

Automatic sync:

  • When the app starts
  • After every change you make: starting, stopping, editing or deleting activities, and changes to types, goals, tags, custom fields, filters and todos
  • When you change something on another device, the server tells this device to sync. This needs Google Play services

Manual sync:

  • Pull down the Activities tab
  • More → Account → Force Sync

Synced data:

  • Activities and intervals, with comments, tags and custom field values
  • Activity types and groups
  • Goals and their alerts
  • Custom fields
  • Saved filters
  • Todos

NOT synced:

  • Settings, including Pomodoro, Remind me, theme and language. Set them up on each device
  • Health Connect data: it stays on the device. Activities you add from it sync like any other activity

Plans

  • Premium Sync — all premium features, and your data synced between your devices
  • Premium — all premium features on this device, without sync
  • Free — no sync. Keep your data safe with backups

Multi-Device Usage

Scenario: Using iPhone, Android, and Web

  1. Create account on first device
  2. Sign in on other devices with same credentials
  3. All changes sync automatically
  4. See same data everywhere

Best Practices:

  • Keep app updated on all devices
  • Force sync if data seems stale
  • Sign out before restoring backup
  • Check sync status in Account screen

Offline Mode

How it works:

  • The app works fully without internet
  • Your changes are kept on the phone
  • They are sent at the next sync: when you change something, start the app, pull down the Activities tab or tap Force Sync

Sync status:

More → Account shows the time of the last sync and whether everything is synced:

  • Last sync: 5 minutes ago. All records synced.
  • Last sync: 5 minutes ago. Unsynced records: 3. — these changes are only on this phone so far

Troubleshooting Sync

If sync not working:

  1. Check connection: Ensure internet connectivity
  2. Force sync: More → Account → Force Sync
  3. Check subscription: Ensure Premium Sync is active
  4. Contact support: More → About → Contact support

Common Issues:

  • Sync requires 'Premium Sync' plan → your account has no sync. Tap Subscribe or see Plans
  • Subscription expired → renew in Google Play
  • No internet → your changes wait on the phone and sync at the next sync
  • The app asks for your password again → enter it, and sync goes on
