Backup & Restore
Keep your flashcards and progress safe by creating regular backups.
Why Create Backups?
- Protect your data: Never lose your flashcards or progress
- Transfer to a new device: Move your data when you upgrade phones
- Reset the app: Useful if you forgot your PIN or need a fresh start
Creating a Backup
- Open UnlockToLearn
- Go to Settings (gear icon)
- Tap Backup & Restore
- Tap Create Backup
- Choose where to save the file (e.g., Google Drive, Files app, or device storage)
- Wait for the backup to complete
Tip: Save your backup to cloud storage like Google Drive or iCloud for extra safety.
What’s Included in a Backup?
- All your folders and decks
- All flashcards with their content
- Learning progress and statistics
- App settings
Note: PIN codes are NOT included in backups for security reasons.
Restoring from a Backup
- Open UnlockToLearn
- Go to Settings (gear icon)
- Tap Backup & Restore
- Tap Restore Backup
- Select your backup file

Warning: Restoring a backup will replace all current data in the app.
Forgot Your PIN?
If you’re locked out due to a forgotten PIN:
- Create a backup before reinstalling (you can still create backups without the PIN)
- Uninstall and reinstall the app
- Restore your data from the backup
- Set a new PIN you’ll remember
