Current release status

Encrypted backup and restore in Remem

Encrypted cloud backup and restore are disabled in the current Remem release. Signing in does not upload your memories, and there is no current Remem cloud copy from which to restore them.

Updated 5 August 2026

Account is not backup

Signing in

Signing in creates or connects your Remem account. It is separate from the memories stored locally on your Android device.

Signing in alone does not upload pins, note text, locations, photos or recordings.

Backup and restore

The encrypted cloud backup and restore controls are disabled in the current release. There is no current action that creates a restorable Remem cloud backup.

If availability changes, Remem will state the new behaviour in the app and update this page before users should rely on it.

Protect local data

What can remove memories from this device

Remem’s current memories are local app data. Removing the app, clearing its storage, losing the device or suffering device failure may remove that data. Remem disables Android device backup, so do not assume Android will restore it automatically.

Secure the phone

Use an Android screen lock, keep the operating system updated and take care when allowing anyone else to use the device.

Export useful copies

CSV or GPX can preserve selected pin information for use elsewhere, but neither is a complete backup and neither can be restored into Remem.

Understand Remem exports

Check before deleting

Before uninstalling Remem or clearing its storage, review what is stored locally and export any information you need elsewhere.

Different kinds of copy

Export, data download and backup are not interchangeable

Option	Current purpose	Restorable into Remem?
CSV export	Use selected unarchived pin details in a spreadsheet.	No
GPX export	Use unarchived located pins in compatible mapping tools.	No
Technical local-data download	Obtain a technical copy of local data.	No
Encrypted cloud backup	Disabled in the current release.	No current backup exists

Accurate security language

What “encrypted” means on this page

“Encrypted backup and restore” is the name of a planned capability, not a claim that this release is uploading an encrypted copy. Remem does not describe the current release as providing end-to-end encrypted or zero-knowledge cloud backup.
