A few considerations when using Ninox on macOS and iCloud
You can use Ninox without a Public Cloud subscription by syncing your data via iCloud. There is
an app for iPhone and iPad and
the Mac app
for free download in the App Store.
Store your databases locally, or sync them via your iCloud on devices using the same Apple ID (iPhone, iPad, and Mac app).
Save your databases in the My Databases tab and select iCloud as the storage location.
Your databases are displayed and automatically synchronized on all your devices in the respective Ninox app in the My Databases tab.
To work with others (in a team) on the same databases, you need a subscription for Ninox Public Cloud. Learn more about your options.
The previous iPhone app will soon no longer be supported. Here we show you how to move your local data
In the future, there will be only 1 app for all mobile Apple devices, i.e., we will no longer distinguish between an iPhone and an iPad app. Nothing will change for the Mac app!
Please switch from the Ninox Database for iPhone (Legacy) app to the Ninox app on your iPhone! As of July 1, 2023, we will no longer update the legacy iPhone app.
If you have databases stored locally on your iPhone, you should "move" them so that they are still available to you.
If you work only through the Ninox cloud, you don't have to do anything.
First, the legacy app will no longer be supported (as of July 1, 2023), meaning there will be no more updates. A few months later, we will remove the legacy app from the App Store.
Here's an overview of how to transfer your local data so you can use it in the new app.
Save your local data to iCloud or Files on your iPhone.
Install the new app
Now import your backup
Tip: Delete the Ninox legacy app right away
Go to My databases
Tap on the tile of the database you want to save until you see the pop-up
Select Save archive as
Decide where you want to cache the database:
on your device (= Open in...)
in the iCloud (= Store on iCloud Drive)
Repeat the steps until you have backed up all your local databases.
If you haven't already, download the new Ninox app from the App Store now.
Open the new Ninox app and log in. If you want to continue working with local data, upload your databases back to the app now.
Go to My databases
Tap Import archive
Select the database you want to import. Depending on where you saved it:
from your iCloud
from your device
Finally, we recommend deleting the legacy app (step 4).
Done! Everything is back the way it should be. And you are now well-prepared for the future!
