Back up your data
Save a password-protected backup of your data that you can restore on a new phone.
Your data, your phone
How Archevot handles your data, app updates, and moving to a new phone.
Archevot stores everything you create, your chats, journal entries, calendar events, AI memory, and settings, directly on your phone. Nothing is sent to our servers. You don't need an account, and we never see your data.
Updating Archevot
When Google Play updates the app, all your data stays exactly where it is. Updates only change the app itself, not your saved entries. You don't need to do anything before an update.
Switching to a new phone
Because your data lives on your device, you'll want to bring it with you when you change phones. There are two ways to do that:
Option 1, Use Archevot's built-in Back Up recommended
- On your old phone, open Archevot and tap the gear icon (top right).
- Open the Data & Account section and tap Back Up.
- Choose where to save the backup file, Google Drive, your Files app, Downloads, or anywhere else you like. We suggest saving it somewhere you can reach from your new phone.
- On your new phone, install Archevot from Google Play.
- Open Settings → Data & Account → Restore and pick the backup file.
- Everything you saved will reappear: chats, journal entries, calendar, settings, the lot.
Option 2, Use Android's phone-to-phone transfer
When you set up a new Android phone, Android usually offers to copy your apps and their data from your old phone over a cable or Wi-Fi. If you use this option during setup, Archevot's data will move across automatically, no extra steps needed.
Why don't you back up to the cloud automatically?
Because we promised your data never leaves your device. Automatic Google Drive backups would mean uploading your private journal entries and chats to Google's servers in the background. We don't do that. The trade-off is that you, the user, are in charge of your own backup.
Our recommendation: every few weeks, or any time you're about to change phones, tap Back Up in Settings and save the file somewhere you can find later.
What deletes your data
Your data is safe through normal use and app updates. It will only be deleted if you:
- Tap "Clear data" in your phone's Android Settings → Apps → Archevot
- Use the Clear All Data button inside Archevot's Settings
- Uninstall the app (unless you used a phone-to-phone transfer or have a backup file)
If any of those happen and you didn't make a backup first, the data cannot be recovered. So please back up before doing any of these things.
