Backups are essential because MonoJot stores notes in your browser. Treat exporting as part of using a local-first app.
Download a full backup
A full backup saves your library as a JSON file. Use it when moving devices, changing browsers, or protecting your notes before clearing browser data.
- Open Settings.
- Choose Data.
- Select Download full backup.
- Store the file somewhere safe.
Export plain text
TXT export is useful when you want notes that can be opened anywhere. Plain-text files are easier to archive, search, move, and inspect outside MonoJot.
Restore from a backup
Use the import option in Settings → Data. Read any confirmation message carefully before replacing or merging data.
Back up before risky changes
Create a backup before browser cleanup, operating system reinstall, device migration, app testing, or importing a large file.
