Backup & Restore

Your setup — layouts, customizations, quick menus, settings — can be backed up and restored.

Export & Import

Export creates a backup file containing your configuration. Save it to Files, AirDrop it, or keep it as insurance before big changes.

Import restores from a backup file. Everything loads and syncs to your watch.

Partial Restore

When you import, you don’t have to restore everything. The app inspects the backup and lets you pick which sections to bring in. The picker lists each section with a counter (tiles, slots, phrases, presets) so you can see what’s inside before deciding.

Sections you can pick from:

• Pages & Tiles — Your pages, the tiles on them, and tile styling
• Status Pages — Custom status pages and their rows
• Quick Actions — Per-tile quick menu (radial) configurations
• Page Switcher — The long-press page switcher overlay layout
• Entity Radial — Entity radial defaults per domain
• Voice Phrases — TTS phrases, speaker presets, default output
• Entity Presets — Complication/widget entity configurations
• Notification Styles — Notification appearance (background, button fill, colors, state badges)
• Complications — Complication presets plus Control Center toggle and action entities
• Preferences — Navigation, interactions, sounds, dashboard flags, advanced-mode toggle, room mappings, and Point Control calibration

Only check the sections you want. Everything else stays as-is. Great for grabbing one chunk from a backup without wiping your current setup — pull just the complications from an old backup while keeping your current pages.

Caution

A full import replaces everything in the selected sections. Export your current state first if you want a safety net.

iCloud Backups

Sign in to iCloud and the Backup & Restore screen exposes two flows:

• iCloud Quick Backup — One slot. Tap Backup to iCloud to save (overwrites the previous quick backup) and Restore from iCloud to bring it back. The screen shows the date of the last quick backup.
• iCloud Named Backups — Save the current config under any name. Each named backup is a separate file with its own date and size. Tap to restore, long-press to delete. Use these when you want multiple snapshots (e.g. before a big rework).

Both flows go through the same restore picker as file imports — pick which sections to bring in.

Backups don’t sync automatically. Tap the button (or save a new named backup) whenever you want to capture the current state.

Sharing

Share your layout with family members: export, send the file, they import and enter their own HA connection details. Great for setting up a partner’s watch.

Because partial restore is per-section, you can also share just one section — send a friend your complications preset set without exporting the rest of your config.

Resetting

There’s no global factory-reset button. Each editor (entity radial, quick actions, individual status pages, individual page styles) has its own Reset to Defaults button that affects only that scope. To start completely fresh, delete and reinstall the app — your Home Assistant connection isn’t affected.
