🔄 Data Sync
ParQwish uses file-based data transfer — no Wi-Fi pairing, no accounts, no cloud upload required. You export a JSON file from one app and import it on the other. The same format works in both directions between the mobile app and the web planner.
🔑 How the verification code works
Sync exports include a 6-digit code shown as both a number and a QR code. The receiving device must enter or scan this code to confirm the file is genuine.
Archive exports skip the code — useful for personal backups where verification is not needed.
📱→🖥️ Export from Mobile, Import to Web Planner
Use after a park day to bring your data into the web planner for stats, photos, and GPS trail.
Tap Export to open the export sheet.
Found at the bottom of the Settings screen. Tap the Export tab if it isn't already selected.
Select which categories and date range to include.
Toggle on Rides, Shows, Dining, Outfits, Shopping, Wishes, and GPS Trail as needed. Set the date range to match your trip days.
Tap Generate Export. Note the 6-digit code that appears.
The code is also shown as a QR code — the web planner can scan it with your device camera instead of typing it in.
Tap Share File and send it to yourself — AirDrop, email, Files, or Messages all work.
On iPhone, AirDrop to a nearby Mac is the fastest option. The file is named parqwish-export-YYYY-MM-DD.json.
Open the Play page on the web planner. Tap Import and select your trip.
You must have a trip selected before importing. If you haven't created one yet, tap + New Trip from the home screen first.
Tap Choose File and select the .json file you shared from mobile.
The web planner reads the file locally — nothing is uploaded to any server.
Enter the 6-digit code (or scan the QR code on your phone) and tap Import.
Choose Merge to add to existing data, or Replace to overwrite the trip's current data.
🖥️→📱 Export from Web Planner, Import to Mobile
Use to push a trip plan you built on the web planner down to your phone before a park day.
Open the Play page on the web planner. Select your trip and tap Export.
Choose the categories you want to send — typically Wishes and Packing for pre-trip planning.
Choose Sync (generates a 6-digit code) or Archive (no code). Tap Generate.
Use Sync when transferring to your phone. Use Archive for a personal backup copy.
Download the file and share it to your iPhone — AirDrop, email, or iCloud Drive.
On the mobile app, go to Settings › Data & Sync and tap Import.
Select the .json file from Files. Enter the code and choose Merge or Replace.
🗄️ Creating an Archive (Backup)
Archive exports have no verification code — ideal for personal backups you import later on the same device.
Open the export sheet and select the Archive tab.
Select categories and date range, then tap Generate Archive.
The archive file is identical in format to a sync export, but does not include a verification code hash. You can import it without entering a code.
To restore, open Import, select the archive file, and tap Import — no code required.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
"Invalid code" error on import
Double-check the 6 digits — it's easy to misread 0/O or 1/I. Try scanning the QR code instead of typing. If the file was modified after export, the code will fail.
Import button is greyed out on the web planner
You must select a trip before importing. Tap the trip selector on the home screen or Play page first.
Categories are missing after import
Check that the categories were toggled on at export time. Categories not selected at export won't appear in the import file.
GPS Trail category appears but trail doesn't show in Publish
Make sure the trail was recorded on the same date range as the export. Open Publish › Where You Walked and check the correct date card.
