Cloud Backup, Encrypted Export & Habit ArchiveYour data, your cloud,
your file.
Your habits should not be locked to one phone. HabStick backs up to your own Google Drive or iCloud account, keeps an encrypted file you can carry, and restores your habits, streaks, reminders, and settings after you confirm.

Cloud backup should not mean handing your data to another company. HabStick writes backups to the account you already use: Google Drive on Android, iCloud on iOS. The Backup & Restore screen shows the last backup date and the backup size, and lets you turn cloud backup on or off, choose an automatic mode or Manual only, run Backup Now, restore, or delete the stored backup.
For a copy you control directly, Import/Export Data moves an encrypted .hbkp archive through the device file picker or share sheet. The file uses AES-256-GCM encryption in a versioned format. On a new phone, onboarding offers two clear paths—import a previous backup file, or sync from Google Drive or iCloud—and every restore keeps a safety copy locally before it replaces anything.
BUILT FOR DAILY CONSISTENCY
Why it feels effortless.
Minimalist design that respects your time and attention.
Turn it on, or keep it manual
The Backup & Restore screen offers cloud backup on or off, an automatic mode or Manual only, Backup Now, restore, and delete, plus the last backup date and size.
A copy you can carry
Import/Export Data sends a .hbkp archive through the device file picker or share sheet. It is AES-256-GCM encrypted, and the app manages the key.
Retire a habit, keep its history
Archiving removes a habit from the active list but keeps its history. The Archive screen lets you restore it later or delete it permanently.
HOW IT WORKS
How backup and restore work
Your own cloud, a local file, and a restore you confirm.
- 01
Connect your cloud account
Open Backup & Restore and turn cloud backup on. The backup goes to Google Drive on Android or iCloud on iOS, inside your own account.
- 02
Choose when it runs
Keep an automatic mode so backups can run when you open the app, or set it to Manual only and use Backup Now when you want a fresh copy.
- 03
Restore on a new phone
Tap Restore from Google Drive or iCloud and confirm the import. HabStick saves a safety copy locally first, then replaces the habits and progress on the device.

Where does HabStick store cloud backups?
In your own account: Google Drive on Android and iCloud on iOS. The backup is stored in your personal cloud account, separately from HabStick.
What is included in a backup?
Habits and categories, progress and streaks, reminders and schedules, and app preferences.
Does restoring replace my current data?
Yes. A restore replaces the habits and progress on the device, so HabStick shows the prompt “Import your habits, progress, reminders, and settings from this backup?” and saves a safety copy locally first.
Can I turn automatic backup off?
Yes. The Backup & Restore screen lets you keep cloud backup on with an automatic mode, or set it to Manual only.
What is the .hbkp file?
It is an encrypted backup file moved by Import/Export Data through the device file picker or share sheet. The archive uses AES-256-GCM encryption in a versioned format, and the app manages the key.
How do I move to a new phone?
Onboarding offers two paths: import a previous backup file, or sync from Google Drive or iCloud. In the app you can also use Restore from Google Drive or iCloud.
What happens when I archive a habit?
An archived habit keeps its history but leaves the active list. From the Archive screen you can restore it or delete it permanently.
Do I need an account?
No. You do not create a HabStick account anywhere in the flow; cloud backups go to the Google Drive or iCloud account you already use on your device.
