NotchPad Guides
Back up NotchPad or move to another Mac
Export a password-protected backup, review what will be imported, and reconnect Markdown folders after moving to another Mac.
Make a password-protected backup
- Open Settings → Import & Export and click Export Backup….
- Set a password and choose whether to include clipboard history.
- Save the backup file somewhere you can reach from the other Mac. Keep its password with your other recovery information.
The backup can carry rich notes, folders, snippets, projects, knowledge history, and skills. Keep a separate copy of linked source folders you want to continue editing. For a single project, use Export Project… in Sources.
Review the import on the other Mac
- Open Settings → Import & Export → Import Backup…, select the file, and enter the backup password.
- Click Review Backup and check the import summary. Import adds missing items to your existing library.
- Open a few notes to verify their text and images. If you restored locked material, authenticate on this Mac and check that you can open it.
Reconnect project sources
Open the project’s Sources tab and relink any Markdown folders you moved. Folder access is granted on the new Mac when you choose the location in Finder. If you want to keep following an imported agent conversation on the new Mac, select its source again where available.
