    Export your tasks

    Download a copy of your tasks as JSON, XML or iCal.

    Settings › Export downloads a copy of your tasks. The file is made in your browser, so end-to-end encrypted tasks work too: nothing is decrypted on our servers.

    • JSON and XML hold everything: tasks with their notes and subtasks, your shelves, and recurring series with their rules.
    • iCal (.ics) is for calendar apps. It holds tasks that have a date. Shelf tasks are left out, because a calendar has nowhere to put them. Each recurring task becomes single events, from a year ago to two years ahead.

    Export from a device that has finished syncing, so that it has your latest changes. An encrypted task this device can't open is left out, and the page tells you how many.
