Backup Options in Day One (iOS/macOS)
Backups are used to safeguard your data from loss. If you lose your phone or have a problematic iOS update, backups are useful for restoring your data to your device(s).
The following backup methods are available for all users (Basic, Plus and Premium)
- iCloud Device Backups (iOS only). These are backups Apple makes of all apps and data on a device once per day. Restore your phone using iCloud device backups which will keep your Day One data intact (text and photos) and all your preferences preserved. These are automatic backups made once per day to your iCloud account. Learn more: Backing up Day One data to iCloud
- JSON Export. Users can also manually back up their data by exporting to JSON. JSON files can be re-imported to Day One and include text and media files. Please see here: Exporting entries. There are other export options available like PDF and Plain Text.
- Time Machine Backups (macOS). You can use Time Machine, the built-in backup feature of your Mac, to automatically back up all of your files, including apps, music, photos, email, documents, and system files. When you have a backup, you can restore files from your backup if the original files are ever deleted from your Mac, or the hard disk (or SSD) in your Mac is erased or replaced.

You can create and edit entries on multiple devices while offline and all the data will merge together properly once you are back online.
