Where Does Loop Habit Tracker Store Backups?
Loop Habit Tracker keeps its database on-device with automatic backups under its app folder and manual CSV or SQLite export. No cloud exists.
Last updated
Loop Habit Tracker is offline-first with no account and no cloud. The database lives on the device with automatic backups tucked into the app folder and manual exports to CSV or SQLite on demand.
The backup folder path is hardcoded, which complicates third-party sync for unrooted phones. Version-matched restores are mandatory, with cross-version attempts failing outright. Everything portable leaves through exports rather than sync.
Where Loop Habit Tracker stores this, by platform
/storage/Android/data/org.isoron.uhabits/files/Backups
Automatic backup home under the verified package folder, hardcoded per project discussion. Inaccessible to some backup tools without root. Manual full backups share out through the app instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Loop Habit Tracker?
Copy the Backups folder under /storage/Android/data/org.isoron.uhabits/files with a file manager that can reach app storage, or share a manual full backup out through the app. Automatic backups land in the hardcoded app folder, which some backup tools cannot see without root.
Can I restore a backup on a newer version?
Match versions exactly. Restore files pair with the build that wrote them, and cross-version restores fail or drop content. Widgets and shortcuts need re-setup after major moves regardless, so verify the restore before wiping the old phone.
How do I export Loop data to CSV?
Trigger a manual CSV export from settings for spreadsheets, or a full backup for the SQLite database. Scheduled auto-export stays a feature request, so dashboards rely on manual runs or syncing the backup folder with other tools.
