How to move saved viewings from phone to laptop
The scorecard is local-first. A viewing saved on your phone is stored in that phone's browser. A viewing saved on your laptop is stored in that laptop's browser.
This is good for privacy and keeps the tool simple, but it also means saved viewings do not automatically appear on another device.
What happens today
- If you save a house on your phone, it stays on that phone.
- If you open the site on your laptop, the laptop starts with its own empty local storage.
- If you clear browser data, saved viewings and local photos may be removed.
Recommended v1 transfer method
The safest low-maintenance approach is export and import:
- On your phone, open Saved houses.
- Tap Export all viewings.
- Send the backup file to yourself by email, cloud drive, AirDrop, WhatsApp or cable transfer.
- On your laptop, open Saved houses.
- Tap Import backup and choose the file.
- The laptop adds those viewings to its local saved list.
Why not automatic sync straight away?
Automatic sync needs accounts, passwords, a database, security work, privacy paperwork, server costs and support. That may come later, but the first public version should stay simple and reliable.
What will be included in an export
- Property name, location, viewing date and asking price.
- Scores, renovation level and notes.
- Photo captions and, where practical, compressed photo data.
- App version number so future versions can import older backups.
Plain-English promise
Until cloud sync exists, treat each device as separate. Use export/import when you want to move viewings from phone to laptop.
