Back up, export and delete your data

Your data is already yours

Your longbook is a folder of plain JSON files in your iCloud Drive, or in the folder you chose at setup. The main file is financial_memory.json. Monthly reports are files in the reports folder. Open the folder in Files on iPhone or Finder on Mac, and copy it wherever you like.

Back up

In Data & privacy, tap Back Up Now. longbook makes a copy of the file exactly as stored, to share or keep.

History in Proposals also keeps your last 50 versions. Restore brings an earlier one back.

Export to Excel or CSV

longbook has no Excel or CSV export. Two ways to get a table:

• Any tool that reads JSON can open financial_memory.json.
• Connect your AI and ask it to list your commitments or a month's charges as a table you can paste into a spreadsheet.

Without a licence

If an account has no licence, everything stays visible and exportable. Nothing new can be added.

Delete your longbook

Delete longbook… in Data & privacy explains how: delete the longbook folder in Files or Finder, like any other folder.

Delete your account

Delete Account… on the Account screen removes your email and everything hosted for you: the copy for your AI and your shared reports. It doesn't delete your folder. If you have longbook Cloud, cancel it in your Apple Account's subscription settings too.
