getbased gives you full control over your data. You can export everything as JSON at any time, import it on a new device or browser, and share structured exports with a healthcare provider as a PDF report. No account or AI provider is needed to import data.

Export your data as JSON

A JSON export contains your complete health record for the current profile: all lab entries, context cards, notes, supplements, biometrics, genetics, cycle data, custom markers, and chat history.

Single-profile export

1

Go to the dashboard

Scroll to the Data & Notes section at the bottom of the dashboard.
2

Export

Click Export JSON. A .json file downloads to your device immediately.
You can also export from Settings → Data → Export.

What the export includes

  • All lab entries — every date, every marker, every value
  • All 9 lifestyle context cards (diet, sleep, exercise, environment, and more)
  • Notes, health goals, and context card change history
  • Supplements
  • Biometrics — height, weight history, blood pressure history, pulse history
  • Menstrual cycle data (if entered)
  • Genetics data — SNP results from DNA raw data import (if imported)
  • Custom marker definitions
  • Chat history and conversation threads
  • Interpretive lens settings

Export a single client profile

From the Client List modal, click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to any profile and select Export. This exports that specific profile as a standalone file — useful when managing multiple profiles and needing to back up or share one at a time.

Export all profiles (database bundle)

To back up everything across all profiles at once:
1

Open Client List

Open the Client List modal from the sidebar.
2

Export all

Click Export All in the header. Or go to Settings → Data → Export All Clients.
A database bundle downloads containing every profile’s data, chat history, threads, custom personalities, and settings. Use this for a complete backup or when migrating your entire getbased setup to a new browser or device.
Export a JSON backup before doing a large batch import or clearing data — it’s your safety net if something doesn’t go as expected.

Import a JSON file

You import a JSON file the same way you import a lab PDF: by dropping it onto the drop zone at the top of the dashboard. No AI provider is needed.
1

Open getbased on the target device or browser

Navigate to app.getbased.health (or your self-hosted URL) and open the profile where you want to import.
2

Drop the file

Drag and drop your .json export file onto the drop zone at the top of the dashboard. getbased detects JSON files automatically.
3

Review the merge

getbased merges the imported data into your current profile:
  • Lab entries are merged by date — values for the same date are combined, not overwritten.
  • Notes are deduplicated — the same note will not appear twice.
  • Context cards are overwritten by the imported values.
  • Health goals are merged and deduplicated by text content.
If you import a JSON file from a different profile or device, the lifestyle context cards in your current profile will be overwritten by the imported values. Your lab entry data is safe — it merges rather than overwrites.

Import a database bundle

Drop a database bundle (exported with Export All) onto the drop zone. getbased detects it automatically and handles multi-profile merging:
  • New profiles are created
  • Existing profiles are merged (lab entries by date, notes deduplicated)
  • Chat threads and custom personalities are carried over

Export a PDF health report

1

Go to the dashboard

Open the profile you want to export as a report.
2

Export PDF

Scroll to the Data & Notes section and click Export PDF. A full health report is generated and downloaded.
The PDF report includes your biomarker results, trends, context card summaries, and any notes — formatted for sharing with a healthcare provider.

Common use cases

Use caseRecommended approach
Regular backupFolder backup (automatic) or JSON export (manual)
Move to a new deviceExport database bundle → import on new device, or use cross-device sync
Share with a healthcare providerPDF report export
Migrate to a new browserExport database bundle → drop onto drop zone in new browser
Restore after an accidental changeRestore from an automatic snapshot

Transfer to a new device or browser

1

Export on the old device

Export a JSON database bundle from Client List → Export All or Settings → Data → Export All Clients.
2

Open getbased on the new device

Navigate to app.getbased.health in any browser on the new device.
3

Import

Drop the bundle file onto the drop zone. All your historical lab data, charts, context cards, and settings appear immediately.
Cross-device sync via your 24-word mnemonic is an alternative to manual export and import. Sync keeps devices in continuous sync without requiring you to export and transfer files. See Sync across devices.
