Archive and Export
Features
Section titled “Features”Any desktop widget (to-do/note/schedule/countdown) can enter “Archive Browse” mode — in this mode, the current widget no longer shows normal list content, but instead displays all completed/archived items.
What You Can Do:
- Browse Archive: View all completed/archived items (sorted by “completion time descending” by default, newest first)
- Restore an Item: Hover → “Restore” button on the right → reverts to incomplete/unarchived state; to-do archive items also support double-click to restore
- Delete Archive Item: Hover → “Delete” button on the right → permanently deletes (irreversible)
- Filter Archive: Archive toolbar → “Filter” → filter by type (to-do/note) and tags
- Export: Archive toolbar → “Export” → exports all non-deleted to-dos and notes as Excel
- Export Deleted Records: Archive toolbar → “Export Deleted Records”
Key Characteristics:
- Archive content is shared across all 4 widget types: Whether the current widget is to-do, note, schedule, or countdown, entering archive mode shows the same archive list (completed to-dos + archived notes), not limited to the current list
- Countdown/Schedule items also enter the archive: After completion, they enter the same “completed to-dos” archive pool
- Archive pool retains items long-term: Once loaded, all completed/archived items are retained with no 24-hour cleanup limit
- Archive and “Deleted” are two different things: Archived = completed/archived (retained permanently, can be restored); Deleted = permanently deleted (irreversible)

Data Export
Section titled “Data Export”In addition to the export entry in archive mode, you can also export via the App Settings main window’s bottom status bar:
| Export Entry | Content | Filename Format | Save Path | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Status bar → “Export” | All non-deleted to-dos and notes | Filename includes date | Desktop | Requires login |
| Status bar → “Export Deleted Records” | Deleted records | Filename includes date | Desktop | Requires login + network |
| Archive toolbar → “Export” | Same as status bar “Export” | Filename includes date | Desktop | Requires login |

The export functionality from the archive toolbar and the status bar is identical — only the entry point differs.
Archive Mode for All 4 Widget Types
Section titled “Archive Mode for All 4 Widget Types”All 4 desktop widget types support entering archive mode:
| Widget Type | Has “Archive” Link | What Archive Mode Shows |

| To-do List Widget | ✓ | Globally shared “completed to-dos + archived notes” |
| Note List Widget | ✓ | Same as above |
| Schedule List Widget | ✓ | Same as above |
| Date Countdown Widget | ✓ | Same as above |
After entering archive mode, all 4 widgets show the exact same archive list. The only difference is which widget you used to enter archive mode.

- Completed To-dos Pool — all “completed” to-dos are here (including schedule/countdown items)
