Availability: iPhone · iPad · Mac · Free. Checked for app version: 1.0.0.
Outcome
The backup page exports a human-readable MODE 1090 JSON file without requiring an account.
How to do it
- Open Settings, then Backup.
- Check the sighting count shown beside the export action.
- Choose Export collection and wait for the system share sheet.
- Save mode1090-backup.json to Files, a trusted drive or another location you control.
- Open the file only with tools you trust; it can contain your saved aircraft history.
Good to know
- Export is free and works for local collections.
- The current backup screen exports JSON. Import is handled together with the collection/account data flow when that option is presented by the app.
- Keep more than one copy before deleting or replacing collection data.
If the result looks different, open Settings > Help and send the visible status together with device, operating system and app version.
