How to keep a local backup
Use exports when you want a copy that is outside the app, readable without a cloud account, and practical to move elsewhere.
- Use the Linux desktop app for local SQLite storage when local control is the priority.
- Export individual notes as Markdown when you only need a small subset.
- Use Settings > Export & Backup for a full ZIP export of the workspace.
- Store exports somewhere independent of the app, such as a backup drive or your normal backup system.
- Repeat after major reorganisations, imports, or publishing work.
The full data portability path is documented in Sync & Backup.
