KISS keeps layout and settings in private app storage with no account sync. Device backup is the only mover.
Last updated
KISS Launcher stores layout, favorites, and history in private app storage on Android. There is no account and no cloud; device backup is the only mover between phones.
That offline design is the point. Searches never leave the phone, and no login exists to restore from. Check settings for any export option before wiping, then fall back on system backup. Rebuilds take minutes since the launcher holds little state.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move KISS settings to a new phone?
Copy the app data with device backup, then verify layout on the new phone. Favorites and history travel in private storage. Reinstalls without a backup reset everything to defaults.
Does KISS sync anything online?
No. KISS is offline by design with no account and no cloud. Search history stays on the device, which is the privacy pitch. Device backup carries it; nothing else does.
