Export data saves a copy of your chats to your phone. On Android the copy is a JSON file named `zerotwo-export.json` in your Downloads folder. ZeroTwo fetches your data and saves the file straight to your phone, so there is no email or download link to wait for.

## Export your data

1. Open the sidebar and tap your name at the bottom.
2. Choose **Settings**, then **Data controls**.
3. On the Export data row, tap **Export**. The button reads "Exporting..." while ZeroTwo gathers your data.
4. When it finishes, a short message says "Saved to Downloads". Open the Downloads folder in your Files app and look for `zerotwo-export.json`.

The note under the row reads "Download a copy of your data as JSON."

## What the file contains

The export is a record of your conversations:

- The date of the export and a version number.
- Your account details, such as your email address and name.
- Every chat, with its title, its creation and update times and its metadata.
- Every message in each chat, with its role, text, time, the model and provider that produced it, usage figures and its attachments.
- Totals for the number of chats and messages.

It is a plain text file, so any app that opens JSON or text can read it.

## If the export does not finish

- "Failed to save export" means the file could not be written to Downloads. Tap **Export** to try again.
- If ZeroTwo cannot finish collecting your data, Data controls shows "Export is taking too long. Please try again."
- Any other problem appears as an error message at the bottom of the Data controls screen. Tap **Export** again.

## Next steps

Exporting does not delete anything.
