Keep your history safe
Back up everything Homeling knows about you to your own iCloud, encrypted, every night.
Turn it on
- Choose it. At the end of setup, click “Keep my history safe & get started”. Or turn on “Keep my history safe” in Settings → Backup at any time. Your Mac needs to be signed in to iCloud.
- That's it. Every night, while your Mac is on power and idle, Homeling saves a backup to iCloud Drive, in a folder called Homeling Backup. Click Back Up Now whenever you like. It keeps the last seven.
- On a new Mac, sign in to the same Apple Account with iCloud Keychain on, and install Homeling. While setting up, it finds your latest backup and offers to bring your history back.
What's in a backup
Your conversations, the people Homeling knows, its memories, your settings, the activity log, your closet photos and files from chat. The AI models aren't included, because they download again, and neither are single files over 512 MB.
Who can open it
Each backup is encrypted on your Mac before it's saved. The key is kept in your iCloud Keychain, so only you can open your backups. Homeling never sees the key, and nothing is sent to us.
Good to know
- Backups happen while Homeling is running, like all its overnight work.
- Restoring brings back your conversations, people, memories, settings and files on a Mac where you're setting Homeling up. The models download again.
- To remove your backups, use Delete My Backups… in Settings → Backup.
