# Your data

> Your tasks live in one file on your Mac. TodoCity keeps a backup for each of the last 7 days, and exports to CSV or JSON whenever you like.

Source: https://todocity.app/docs/data

All your tasks live in a single SQLite file on your Mac, inside a folder TodoCity keeps for itself. There's no account involved, and you can back up, export or restore everything from **Settings → Backups & export**.

![Settings → Backups & export: Export CSV, Export JSON and Back up now, with two daily backups listed, each with Restore](https://todocity.app/docs/img/settings-backups.webp "Settings → Backups & export.")

## The data folder

Everything TodoCity keeps on this Mac sits in one folder, including your tasks, backups, AI models and settings:

```text
~/Library/Application Support/TodoCity/
```

To open it in Finder, click **Show data folder** in **Settings → Backups & export**.

## Daily backups

TodoCity keeps one backup for each of the last 7 days, in the `backups/` folder inside the data folder. It also makes a backup at these moments:

| Backup | When |
| --- | --- |
| **before import** | Just before you bring in tasks from Todoist or Things 3 |
| **before restore** | Just before you restore a backup |
| **manual** | Whenever you click **Back up now** |

**Show backups folder** opens them in Finder.

## Export

- **Export CSV** saves your tasks as a CSV file in Downloads, ready to open in a spreadsheet.
- **Export JSON** saves them as a JSON file in Downloads.

## Restore a backup

1. **Open Settings → Backups & export.**
2. **Click Restore…** next to the backup you want.
3. **Click Restore** when TodoCity asks **Replace your tasks?**

Before it restores, TodoCity backs up the tasks you have right now, marked **before restore**, so you can undo a restore too.

## More than one Mac

If you want the same tasks on more than one Mac, pair them using [Sync between your Macs](https://todocity.app/docs/sync-between-macs).

## Delete everything

To delete your tasks and models from this Mac, quit TodoCity and remove its data folder:

```bash
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/TodoCity ~/Library/Application\ Support/app.pluck.desktop
```

If you use sync, turn it off in **Settings → Your other Macs** first. Or, if you've already deleted the folder, remove the “app.todocity.sync” item in Keychain Access afterwards.
