Your data and backups
Loop stores everything on your computer. It makes no network calls.
Where it lives
Your data is in one folder: %APPDATA%\Loop. The main file is data.json. It is written safely through a temporary file, so a crash will not corrupt it.
Backups
Go to Settings > Backup & data.
- Automatic: a copy is saved once a day, keeping the last 14, in
%APPDATA%\Loop\backups. - Back up now… saves a copy right away.
- Restore from file… loads a backup you choose. Loop saves a safety copy of your current data first.
- Open backup folder shows the backups in Explorer.
Updating and uninstalling
Installing a new version over the old one keeps your data. Uninstalling also keeps it, so you can reinstall later and carry on.
Deleting everything
Delete all data… opens a box where you type DELETE to confirm. It removes every time log and project and stops any running timer. You can also tick:
- Also reset my settings (theme, font, hotkeys and so on),
- Also delete all backup copies.
If you leave the backups box empty, a safety copy is saved in the backups folder first.
