How can I backup my countdowns?

Your countdown data is automatically included in your device backups.  If you’re backing up your device using iCloud or iTunes, then you won’t need to do anything else to backup your events.

If you’re logged into an iCloud account on your device, your countdowns are tied to your iCloud account. This means if you delete Days Since, or get a new device, your countdowns will automatically be restored.

If you’re not backing up your phone, you can learn more about automatic backups here.

 

Where are my countdowns stored?

Your countdowns are stored locally on your device and synced to your personal iCloud account, if you're logged in. We never has access to any of your data.
