About Data, Backup & Sync.
HabitKit keeps your habits on your phone, with no account and no cloud sync. Once a day it saves a backup on the device and keeps the last seven, and restoring one is free (automatic backups and recovery).
To take your history somewhere else, export it: one JSON file with every habit, completion and note, which you import on the other side (export and import your data). That is also how you move to a new phone, from iPhone to Android or back (transfer HabitKit to a new phone). Export and import are part of HabitKit Pro, and an exported file kept off the phone is the copy that survives losing it.
