Feature description

Some of the fossify apps like gallery support complete export of settings but no the contacts app for example. It is much easier to just import the settings on a reinstall.

Why do you want this feature?

To be able to backup the settings after setting up all toggles in the app.

I second this feature 👍 +1 and across all Fossify products if you could do so @Aga-C

It would be an even better privacy feature for users with non rooted and without Google Account, to be able:

  • to export Fossify Apps settings and to schedule/automate the settings export
  • to export Fossify Apps data. In this case Contacts for Fossify Contacts, Call logs Fossify Dialer, and so on...

By design your apps already have no Internet access" see Thus we would use existing well crafted FOSS tools like DAVx5, SyncThing-Fork or Automation for syncing or automation

And your Fossify products are, AFAIC, the basic Apps in my Android device FOSS usage
