How to export data from Habitica before you switch.
Exporting your Habitica data is the practical first step if you want to leave the RPG layer without losing the habits that still matter.
Why Export First
Keep the history. Leave the game state.
An export gives you a backup and a reference list. You do not need to move every pet, party, and quest into the next tool — only the habits and notes that still support real life.
Export goal
- Backup before any account changes
- A clean list of habits worth keeping
- Reference notes for your next system
Export Checklist
How to export data from Habitica
Use this as a practical sequence. Confirm the latest menu labels in Habitica itself, since product UIs change over time.
Open Habitica settings
Sign in to Habitica on the web. Go to Settings (or your user menu) and look for data, privacy, or account options. Exact labels can change, so check the current Habitica help docs if the menu has moved.
Request or download your data export
Habitica typically provides a way to export account data (often as JSON or a downloadable package). Start the export and wait for the file to generate if it is not instant.
Save the file somewhere safe
Download the export to a folder you control. Keep a copy offline. Do not rely on a single browser download history if you are about to change tools.
Decide what you actually need to migrate
Most people only need the list of real-world habits that still matter. Gold, pets, quest progress, and cosmetic inventory rarely need to move into a simpler system.
Worth keeping
- Habit names and schedules that still match real life
- Any notes or history that help you understand patterns
- A short list of non-negotiables for the first two weeks after switching
Usually safe to leave
- Avatar progress, equipment, and pets
- Party and guild history
- Quest state and reward inventory
Export tips before you migrate
Export before you cancel
If you plan to close or stop using the account, export first. Do not assume you can recover history later.
Treat the export as a reference, not a perfect import
Many quieter habit tools do not import Habitica's full game state. Use the export to rebuild a simple list, not to recreate the RPG layer.
Verify current steps on Habitica
Habitica's UI and export options can change. Use this page as a migration checklist, then confirm the latest export path in Habitica's official help or settings.
After the export
Rebuild only what you will use.
Once you have the file, switch to a simple weekly system. Compound Daily is built for people who want structure and heatmaps without recreating Habitica's full game state.
