LOCKING, PRIVATE CALENDARS, AND BACKUP

The PRO version of the application provides Private calendars 1 which are stored in encrypted form in the application itself. This information is not available to external systems such as mailbox accounts, or to internal systems such as local smartphone calendars.
The use of private calendars is recommended in conjunction with application blocking; in addition, you can turn off notifications from these accounts in the settings. Attention! Since the information from Private Accounts is confidential, it can only be viewed on the device on which such records were created. Private calendar entries are not synchronized!
Blocking: after activating the blocking function and after the user sets a password, you can re-enter the Settings menu which you can unlock using Touch ID or Face ID (depending on the settings of the smartphone). Attention! If you lost your password or changed your smartphone, the data from your local and private accounts cannot be restored! If this happens, you can reinstall the application, but the information entered will be lost. To avoid loss of information, we recommend that you periodically make full backups or backups of selected accounts. 2 To do this, go to the main menu, select Backup and create a backup 3 , which will be saved on your smartphone. In the same way, you can restore 4 all the information. When restoring, select a backup for your desired date if you make backups periodically. Don’t forget the password for the backup file.
