Where Does the OBI App Store Data?
OBI keeps project lists and offers in private storage on Android and iOS under one shared ID for login.
Last updated
DIY chain OBI runs one shared package on both mobile OSes. Private storage holds login session plus shopping cache. HeyOBI branding covers the same listing. The short ID is easy to mistype, so copy it whole from system app info.
Lists live server side. Local data is session plus images. Fresh login restores everything after reinstall. Store stock checks need network regardless. Project calculators re sync with the account. In-store kiosk sessions stay separate from the app login. Session stays local while lists stay server side.
