Where Does Tasks.org Store Lists and Backups?
Tasks.org keeps lists in its private sandbox with JSON backup export. Sync via DAVx5 or Google Tasks for safety.
Last updated
Tasks.org stores task lists in a local database inside its sandbox. Sync adapters copy them outward to CalDAV or Google. Without sync, the phone holds the only copy.
The backup export is the manual route, sync is the durable one. Pair Tasks.org with DAVx5 once and phone changes stop mattering. Local-only lists deserve an export before every ROM flash.
Where Tasks.org stores this, by platform
/data/data/org.tasks
Task database plus preferences. Needs root to browse. Backup JSON and DAVx5 sync are the exits.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Tasks.org lists to a new phone?
Export backup JSON from settings and import on the new phone. Better yet, sync lists through DAVx5 so the server holds them permanently.
Does Tasks.org sync anywhere?
Yes to CalDAV servers through DAVx5 and to Google Tasks natively. Local-only lists stay sandboxed. Sync what matters.
Do unsynced tasks survive reinstall?
They live only in the sandbox database. Uninstall wipes them. Export or sync before any wipe.
