Back up & restore your data

Your flows belong to you. URLflows for Individuals makes it easy to export them, restore them, or move them between machines.

Export a JSON backup

  1. Open Settings → Data Management.
  2. Click Export to download a timestamped JSON file of all your sections, bookmarks, and settings.
  3. Store it wherever you keep backups — a cloud drive, a USB stick, or your dotfiles repo.

Restore from JSON

  1. Open Settings → Data Management.
  2. Click Import and pick a previously exported JSON file.
  3. Confirm the import. Your existing data is replaced with the backup.

Full folder backup

For the most complete backup, export the entire extension as a loadable unpacked folder. Use this when you want a pristine copy of the extension state, not just its data.

Move to a new computer

  1. Export a JSON backup on your old machine.
  2. Install URLflows for Individuals on the new machine (see Install URLflows for Individuals).
  3. On first launch, choose Restore from backup and select the file.

Reset everything

From Data Management you can also reset settings to defaults or delete all URLflows data. Both actions are irreversible — export a backup first.
