Export & import

Your journal is yours. Export visits, points, and outings in eight formats with precise filtering, split per-day files and templated names — then import a prior export back, for free.

Free vs Pro. Building and previewing exports is free. Writing export files (from the app's Export tab or an outing's page) is the Pro unlock, along with automatic exports and webhooks. Importing a prior export is free.

Eight formats

FormatBest for
JSONLossless backups, scripts, and tooling.
CSVSpreadsheets and analysis.
MarkdownHuman-readable journals — single outings export as a front-matter page with visits and route points.
GeoJSONMapping tools and GIS.
GPXGPS tools and route viewers; visits become waypoints, routes become tracks.
KMLGoogle Earth and Earth-compatible viewers.
OwnTracksOwnTracks-ecosystem tools (route points).
OverlandOverland-ecosystem tools (route points).

Choose any mix of formats in one export; each becomes its own file. OwnTracks and Overland formats carry route points (visits exports in those slots fall back to JSON).

What gets exported

Your entire setup — formats, data kind, filters, field toggles — is remembered between launches.

Filename templates

File names come from a template you control. These tokens are available:

{date} {year} {month} {dayNumber} {weekday} {monthName} {quarter} {datetime} {time} {day} {type} {title} {name} {format}

Saving and sharing

Pick a default folder (with auto-save on by default) and exports land there silently with a confirmation toast; otherwise the standard share sheet appears. The Preview button renders everything without writing — free, and a good way to sanity-check filters. Single outings can also be exported straight from their detail page.

Import

Settings → Import file restores a prior export. JSON, CSV, and Markdown round-trip fully, including correction history and glitch flags. GPX, KML, and GeoJSON are one-way map formats and can't be imported. Importing is free.
