Tuck does not provide cloud synchronization. For a new device or a move between iPhone and Android, use the JSON export and restore tools in Settings.
Export a backup
Choose the data export action in Tuck Settings and save the generated JSON file somewhere secure. The backup contains saved items, collections, read state, and archive state. It does not contain copies of article bodies or video files.
Restore on the new device
Open Tuck Settings on the destination device, choose the import action, and select a JSON file exported by Tuck. Duplicate URLs can be merged with existing items, and invalid entries may be skipped. For duplicates, the destination item keeps its read state, archive state, collection, and existing dates; missing metadata can be filled from the backup. Restore does not overwrite every item with its earlier backup state.
Limits and safety
If the restored result would exceed 20 items or three collections on the free tier, Pro is required to complete the restore. Backups are limited to 10 MB, with caps of 10,000 items and 10,000 collections. This is not a generic importer for JSON or HTML exported by other services.
Check before finishing the move
On the destination device, check the saved-item count and collections, then open a few representative links. Keep the original device and exported JSON until you have confirmed that the move worked.
