Export your data
Download a copy of your notes, tasks, events and recordings at any time, on any plan including Free.
How to export
- Go to Settings > Account
- Tap Export My Data
- Enter your password to confirm. If your account has no password (for example, you signed up with Apple or Google), type EXPORT instead
- You'll see Export Started. We email you when your data is ready
- Open Settings > Account > Export My Data again and tap the download buttons there. The app shows Available until with the date
The email itself has no download link. Its Download in Settings button opens the TellDone web app, where you can download the same files in Settings > Data and privacy > Export my data.
What's included
Your data comes as one JSON file (data.json) in a ZIP, with your audio in separate ZIP files. Your export contains:
- Notes - titles, summaries and transcripts (the transcript is plain text; the speaker split of meetings is not included)
- Tasks - all tasks with priorities, deadlines, and status
- Events - all events with dates, times, and attendees
- Audio recordings - your recordings as TellDone stores them: OGG/Opus files with long pauses removed
- Tags and dates
Limits and details
- You can run one export at a time, with a 7-day wait between exports. If you try sooner, the app says Export not available yet
- If your last export failed, you can request a new one right away
- Your export stays available for 48 hours after it's ready. Each time you open the screen, the download buttons get fresh links that work for 1 hour
- Audio ZIP files are split into 500 MB parts
tip
We recommend exporting your data periodically as a backup, or before you delete your account.
