7. Synchronization and Security

Nothing you enter is stored in the cloud, everything stays on your computer. Be careful then, in case of error or app deletion, you lose everything but here are the options available to you:

CSV export

Export your sessions in CSV format. (personal use)

CSV export Data export - Download in CSV format

Backup restoration

Use the menu to restore your saved data

Collected data

App usage statistics: application opening, time on each screen, silent bugs and crashes.

Current Limitations

  • Categories are not synchronized to the cloud as it was a choice to make an application with private data stored only locally. But by request of many, you will have the choice in a future version that will synchronize selected categories across multiple devices. This will allow you to use Postgenda from your phone or smartwatch while traveling or exercising.
  • CSV import is being redeveloped.
  • Initial onboarding and in-app tutorials are in implementation.
  • Windows: the timer bar has a sizing issue (not at minimum).
  • App segmentation by usage type.

Shortcuts and Tips

  • Timer blue bar: Can be moved, closed or enlarged. On Windows: Place it above the taskbar. On Mac, it follows you across all your processes.
  • Recommended positions: Top-right (Mac) or On the taskbar (Windows)
  • Color saving: Colors are harmonized in brightness and saturation
  • First profile: Create your own category structure from the start
