Backup & Restore

Export your full bit.ctrl setup to a file and restore it later or on another device.

Sync to iCloud Drive​

If you enable this setting, your created layouts and macros will be synced automatically to iCloud Drive and made available on all of your devices.

Full settings backup​

Export all settings to a JSON file (Bit-Control-Presets.json), including:

  • Shutter presets and mode settings
  • White balance presets
  • Widget layouts and tab configurations
  • Camera configurations
warning

Camera passwords are excluded from backups for security. Re-enter them after restoring. See Cameras.

Import the same file to restore.

Layout-only export/import​

Widget layouts can be exported and imported on their own (JSON), separate from a full backup. Useful for sharing a layout without sharing camera or preset data. Also available from Tabs & Layouts.

Macro export/import​

Macros have their own export format, separate from app settings, with a camera-remapping step on import. See Macros.
