Back up and restore your journal

Save a copy of your journal to iCloud Drive or Google Drive, and restore it on the same phone or a new one.

A backup is a copy of your journal you create yourself. Make one before you switch phones or reinstall the app.

Backups go to iCloud Drive, in the PBAppBackups folder.

  • Sign in to iCloud on your iPhone and turn on iCloud Drive for the app. If it isn’t on, the screen says iCloud is not available and Create Backup is disabled.
  1. Open Settings, then Backup & Restore.

  2. Tap Create Backup.

  3. Wait for Backup Successful.

Last Backup shows the date of your latest one.

  1. Open Settings, then Backup & Restore.
  2. Under Available Backups, tap the backup you want.
  3. In the confirmation, tap the button that starts with Restore.
  4. When you see Restore Successful, close and reopen the app.
