iCloud sync

Sync to iCloud is off by default. When on, the text of your timeline goes to your own private iCloud, end-to-end encrypted. Screenshots never sync.

Turn it on

  1. Make sure your Mac is signed in to iCloud in System Settings → Apple Account.
  2. Open Settings → General and turn on Sync to iCloud under iCloud Sync.

What syncs

The text of activities, projects, standups, journals, weekly reviews and your categories. Screenshots, screen text, videos and file paths always stay on the Mac that captured them. The developer has no access to your iCloud data.

If it isn't syncing

  • Read the status line under the toggle.
  • “Not signed in to iCloud”: sign in under System Settings → Apple Account.
  • “iCloud storage is full”: free up or add iCloud storage.
  • If sync stopped because Hindsight's iCloud data was deleted, use Re-upload everything.
  • Sync runs in the background, so changes can take a few minutes to reach your other devices.

Remove the iCloud copy

Turning sync off or using Delete All Data does not remove the copy in iCloud. Delete it in your Apple Account's iCloud storage settings, under Manage Storage → Hindsight.
