How long does switching to Pixy take?

Under 5 minutes for most apps: about a minute to export, seconds to convert, and a minute to import. Five Minute Journal and Reflectly email the export, so add the time until the email arrives.

What comes along when I switch?

Moods, dates and times, notes, journal prompts, tags with their groups, emotions, sleep and people, when your old app has them. Photos stay in your old app. Pixy Switch lists everything it cannot import before you download.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Pixy Switch runs in your browser and reads the file on your device. It makes no network requests with your data.

Will importing delete what I already have in Pixy?

Pixy's import replaces its data. To keep your Pixy entries, export a backup in Pixy (Settings > Data > Export) and add it in Pixy Switch. Pixy Switch merges both histories into one file.

My app has a different mood scale. What happens?

Pixy uses 7 ratings. Pixy Switch maps your app's scale onto them and shows the mapping before you download. You can change any level.

My app is not listed. Can I still switch?

If your app exports a CSV with a date and a mood column, Pixy Switch reads it as a generic CSV. Otherwise, tell us which app you use on the feature board.

Open Pixy Switch Runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.

How switching works

Step 1
Export from your old app
Every supported app can save your entries as a file. The steps for each app are below.
Step 2
Convert in Pixy Switch
Drop the file into Pixy Switch on a computer or phone. Check how your moods map to Pixy, then download the import file.
Step 3
Import into Pixy
In Pixy, open Settings > Data > Import and choose the file. Your history appears as pixels.

Import replaces the data in Pixy. Already using Pixy? Add your Pixy backup in Pixy Switch too, and both histories are merged.

What comes along from each app

Every app stores different things. This table comes from the tested OWLF adapters that Pixy Switch uses, not from app store listings.

Photos are counted, not imported: they stay in your old app.
