For illustration only. Nothing here changes your app records.
Explore what each option does. These choices do not change settings or create files.
- Data option
Sync
Keep Metered records available on your own devices through your personal iCloud account. This does not turn on carer sharing or Connected Apps.
- Data option
Backup
Keep a restorable copy of your Metered records and settings. A backup can contain private information. Preparing a file does not prove it has been saved somewhere safe.
- Data option
Report
Preview a formatted PDF for an appointment. Reports require Metered+. Review its contents before choosing whether to share it. Generating a report does not send it to anyone.
- Data option
CSV
Inspect records in a spreadsheet. CSV export requires Metered+. Check which fields and dates are included; a spreadsheet cannot replace a restorable backup.
Where to manage data
More › Data is where you manage sync, backups, restore, Tended import, CSV export, and deletion. PDF reports and pacing diaries live in More › Reports. Connected Apps publication lives in More › Preferences › Connected apps.
Exports and backups
• Backups are for moving or restoring your own Metered data. • CSV exports are for spreadsheets or clinicians who want raw rows. • PDF reports and pacing diaries are formatted summaries for appointments. • Tended import helps you skip the cold start if you already use Tended.
Important safety notes
Exports and backups can contain sensitive health-adjacent information. Restoring a backup can replace current records, but Metered takes a rollback snapshot before restore so a failed restore can return you to your previous state.
