Support

Where is my data stored?

In JSON files in your Mac’s Application Support folder. Consult the privacy page for details.

Can I sync between devices?

No. Aion keeps one diary on one Mac, with an optional one-way backup to your own iCloud.

Can I export my entries?

Yes. Any day, year, or the whole diary, as plain text or Markdown. The Calendar and Patterns also export as images.

Aion says the diary is read-only

Another copy of Aion is already open. Only the first can write. Quit the other copy, then reopen this one.

The location is wrong or missing

Aion initially references your location against a list of major cities inside the app, then asks macOS for anything further out. If neither gives the right answer, type the location in manually.

A reminder has not appeared in Apple Reminders

Aion sends a reminder to Apple Reminders about a week before it is due. Repeating reminders stay in Aion. If none appear, check that Apple Reminders is on under Integrations and that Aion has access.

A mirrored reminder is not in the list I expected

Aion adds it to your default Reminders list.

The Moon Phases widget is blank

Remove the widget and add it again.
