Where Does BreakTimer Store Settings?
BreakTimer keeps break schedules and prefs in per-OS config files on devices. Copy the configs with BreakTimer closed.
Last updated
BreakTimer stores break schedules and preferences in per-OS config locations. The app reads them at launch on every OS. Sounds and ideas ride beside the timers.
Back up the config folder to move the setup. Exact filenames vary by release, so confirm inside prefs when paths differ. Copy with the app closed for clean state.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move BreakTimer settings?
Copy the BreakTimer config folder with the app closed to the same path. Schedules plus prefs travel together. Reopen once to confirm.
Breaks stopped after moving. Why?
Check the schedule settings inside the app prefs first. Paused states do not transfer meaningfully. Re-enable breaks after restoring.
