Import previously exported data back into the app

Hi Omi team,

I used the in-app export to download my data. After exporting, I deleted my data inside the app. I now want to bring that exported data back into Omi, but there’s currently no way to re-import it.

Request
Add an Import feature that can take an export file created by Omi and restore it into the app.

Why it matters

  • Prevents permanent loss after accidental deletion

  • Makes export an actual backup workflow

  • Helps when switching phones or reinstalling the app

  • Builds trust. Users can safely experiment knowing they can restore

Suggested UX

  • Settings → Data → Export / Import

  • Import flow shows a preview: date range, item counts, size

  • Options:

    • Merge with existing data

    • Replace existing data

    • Import into a new workspace/profile (optional)

Safety checks

  • Confirm before overwrite

  • Warn if file format version differs

  • Clear error message if file is corrupted

  • Local-only import is fine. Cloud optional

If helpful, I can share the export file format details and the exact steps I took.

Thanks,
Jonah
