See where your data lives
Your computer holds the working copy. Your account holds a synced copy for your other computers.

Note
The web Pomodoro timer is separate. It needs no account and shares nothing with the desktop app.
Know when it syncs
Changes go out and come in on their own. There is no sync button to press.
| When | Dabadoro |
|---|---|
| You edit something | Sends it once you stop editing for 60 seconds, and within 5 minutes while you keep editing. |
| You complete an item or spend coins | Sends it after about 3 seconds, so your level and stats catch up. |
| You close the app | Sends what is still waiting, then closes. |
| The app starts or reconnects | Receives the changes made on your other computers. |
| A sync fails | Tries again after 30 seconds, 2 minutes and 10 minutes, then pauses for 5 minutes. |
To see another computer's changes sooner, close and reopen Dabadoro on this one.
See what happens when you go offline or switch computers
Your work is never lost by going offline. Two computers settle item by item.
| If | Then |
|---|---|
| You work offline | Your changes wait on this computer and go out when you reconnect. |
| Two computers change the same item | The version that reaches your account last is kept. |
| You complete one habit on both for the same day | Your account keeps one completion for that day. |
| You complete one task on both | It counts once: the completion that syncs last is kept. |
| Both change your coins while offline | The balance from the computer that syncs last is kept. |
| You set up a new computer | Install Dabadoro and log in. It waits up to 8 seconds for your data, then opens with it. |
| A computer stays away over 53 days | Its next sync downloads your whole account again, so deletions made elsewhere reach it. |
Fix a sync error
A red sync error in the status bar is a button. It opens the details.
sync error
Click it to open the details.
Copy problem report
Copies a report you can email us.
Your changes stay safe on this computer while the error lasts. Press Retry sync to try again now. If it does not clear the error, send the report to contact@dabadoro.com.
After 24 hours of errors while online, Dabadoro returns to the sign-in screen. Your data stays on this computer and syncs once you log in. Time offline never counts.
Resolve changes that were not synced
If the server refuses a change, an amber notice stays in the status bar until you choose.
Click 1 not synced
It opens Settings on the System tab, at the Sync section.
Press Try again
Dabadoro sends the change once more.
Or press Use the cloud copy
The version in your account replaces this one. For a change the cloud never had, the app asks Remove it from this device? first.
Stay signed in
Sign in once on each computer. After that, Dabadoro opens without asking.
Being offline never logs you out. The first sign-in on a computer needs a connection, so Log in waits until you are back online.
Your sign-in lasts a year and renews while you use the app. Its key lives only in your computer's keychain. Up to 20 computers stay signed in at once; one more sign-in ends the oldest.

| Reset account data | Deletes your tasks, habits, history, coins, topics, rewards and settings, then clears this computer and reloads. XP and level start again, with the default rewards. |
| Delete your account | Done in Manage account. Your account and its data are deleted, and your computers are signed out. A Pro or Max plan ends at once. |
Watch out
Reset account data cannot be undone, and it needs a connection.
