Where Does Harvest Store Timesheets?
Where Harvest keeps timesheets on desktop and mobile, and how account sync works. Exact folders are covered below.
Last updated
Harvest is time cloud with device timers. Your workspaces hold projects, entries, and rates. Phones and computers cache the running timer for offline starts.
Same email means same workspaces. Shared workspaces need the same invite accepted anew. Exact cache names shift with Forecast versus core builds. Keep online after stopping timers so entries upload. If hours vanish, check the workspace picker first. A personal versus client workspace split is the usual empty timesheet cause. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.
Where Harvest Time stores this, by platform
%appdata%\Harvest (timer cache, entries in cloud)
Entries follow your Harvest workspace login. Devices hold timer cache plus working copy. Reports live in cloud. Match the email exactly.
/sdcard/Android/data/com.harvest.app
Time lives in the Harvest container plus cloud. Sign in to restore workspaces. Reinstalls never touch cloud entries or billable rates.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Harvest entries to a new device?
Sign in on the new device and workspaces return from the cloud. Devices hold login and timer cache only. Offline entries sync on reconnect. Check the workspace before wiping, since a second email shows empty and hides billable hours.
Does Harvest work offline?
Yes, in Harvest cloud once synced. Devices hold a working copy plus running timer cache. Reports rebuild after sign in. Export CSVs weekly for invoices, since devices never hold the master timesheet alone.
