How To Export and Import Widgets

Using the widget editor it is possible to export and import widgets for backup purposes, or to move your widgets to a new device.

1

This tutorial assumes that you already have a Widget that you would like to export for backup, or maybe to move to a different device.

2

Start by opening the app and selecting Widgets from the menu.

3

Select the widget you want to export and then press "Export"

4

Save the data using a convinient method. For example, by sending yourself an email, saving it to Dropbox, or using Google Keep (as shown below). Make sure that you can easily access the data later.

5

To import a widget, start by creating a new widget on your homescreen, to bring up the Widget builder. Press the "Import" button.

6

Paste the data into the text area. For example, if you sent yourself an email you can open that email, select the data, and copy it - rather than writing it by hand.

7

Once you press OK the widget should be loaded. Press the tick in top right corner to save.

8

Note that it is not possible to export/import more than one Widget at once. The current process is a bit tricky and we are working on a better solution.
