Basic Progress History and Export Are Available on Free
Productivity history becomes more useful as it grows. It can show completed work, returning habits, planning patterns, Momentum, and the dated Dayprint records created by your finished days. Access to that record should be clear before you invest months of effort in a product.
Dayprints currently includes basic all-time progress history and account export on Free. Plus adds capacity and removes the Free reflection-journal window, but access is not one undifferentiated promise: progress history, reflection history, visible screens, and exported data have different boundaries. The guide to Momentum, progress, and Dayprints explains how those parts fit into the wider progress model.
What all-time basic progress history means
Both the Free and Plus plan records set basic progress history to all-time. The supported progress record includes dated source data such as completed tasks, task-day assignments, habit logs, daily progress, Momentum events, and Dayprints.
“All-time” describes that plan setting. It does not mean that each screen displays every row in a single view, or that every kind of personal history has the same access window. The current Progress screen shows seven recent daily-progress dates and up to 30 recent Dayprints, while the supported underlying datasets remain available through account export.
That distinction protects the meaning of the data. A long-running total or pattern should come from recorded events rather than an invented score. The article on what a productivity progress tracker should show explains why clear source measures matter both in the interface and in an export.
Reflection history has its own boundary
Reflection history is separate from basic progress history. On Free, the reflection journal shows an inclusive 90-day window based on the account’s local calendar date. Plus has no plan-based date window for the journal.
The Free window changes what you can browse in the reflection-journal interface; it does not delete older reflection rows. The current account export includes the complete daily_progress dataset, including reflection fields outside that 90-day view. Older reflections are therefore outside the Free journal but remain in the supported account export.
This is why a general statement that “all history is included on Free” would be misleading. Basic progress history is set to all-time on both plans. Reflection browsing is 90 days on Free and has no plan window on Plus.
Account export is included on Free
Dayprints offers account export in JSON and long-form CSV on both plans. The current export whitelist contains 37 supported datasets. They cover tasks, focus sessions and presets, task-day assignments, habits and habit logs, reminders and delivery records, daily progress, Momentum events, Dayprints, saved routines, routine items, routine application history, links from routine applications to the tasks they created, quick-add templates, and relevant account and billing records stored by Dayprints.
The expanded set also includes recurring-task definitions, focus-session alerts, end-of-day review alerts, Masterpiece edition ownership, app-install observations, optional-updates consent history, and welcome-email delivery incidents.
The boundary is deliberate. Exports exclude authentication and session credentials, Web Push capability secrets, unsubscribe-token hashes, hidden prerender caches, and internal tester, operator, and provider logs. The export preserves structured records rather than recreating the Dayprints interface, so another app may not present the same fields or artwork in the same way. It includes supported data stored by Dayprints, not a complete archive of records held only by an outside provider.
Export is useful before it becomes urgent. A dated copy gives you a personal archive, lets you inspect the supported record, and makes the product boundary visible. JSON is suited to structured reuse; the CSV uses a filterable dataset column with each complete record stored as JSON in the second column.
Dayprints are part of the supported progress record
A Dayprint can be created for a local day only when every non-archived task in that day’s plan is complete, at least one task you had planned — for any date, not only that day — was completed that day, and no qualifying Needs attention item remains unresolved. Habits do not form part of that completion boundary.
The visible Dayprint artwork comes from a shared catalogue; it is not claimed as an image made uniquely for one reader. The Dayprint cornerstone explains the completion record and shared artwork in more detail.
Dayprint rows are included in the account export alongside daily progress and Momentum events. This is the concrete data boundary that matters here: the supported record can be exported on Free, while the export itself is a structured archive rather than a copy of the visual gallery.
Current plan limits
Free and Plus differ in capacity as well as reflection-journal access. The current server-enforced limits are:
| Resource | Free | Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Active tasks | 15 | 1,000 |
| Archived tasks | 15 | 1,000 |
| Active habits | 3 | 25 |
| Saved routines | 3 | 25 |
| Quick-add templates | 5 | 15 |
| Reminders waiting to fire | 5 | 100 |
| Web Push devices | 2 | 5 |
| Reflection-journal view | 90 days | No plan window |
| Basic progress-history mode | All-time | All-time |
| Account export | Included | Included |
A reminder counts while it is pending, processing, or waiting for a retry. Delivered, failed, and cancelled reminders stop counting, so five is the concurrent Free allowance rather than a cumulative total. Each task can have one active reminder.
What happens after a downgrade or trial
Suppose you return to Free with more than 15 active tasks. The lower limit does not remove the tasks already in your account. Existing tasks stay visible and editable, and you can complete them. New active-task creation is blocked while active usage is at or above the Free allowance.
Active and archived tasks have separate capacity limits. Archiving an active task therefore also needs room within the 15-task Free archive. Completing a task frees active capacity after the seven-second undo reservation; deleting an archived task frees archive capacity. These details are more accurate than saying every over-limit task can simply be archived.
The same capacity principle applies to existing habits and saved routines: returning to Free does not delete them merely because the account is over a creation limit. They remain available to manage, while new capacity-consuming creation is blocked at the applicable Free limit. Creating an advanced task recurrence requires Plus.
A newly started one-time Plus trial lasts exactly 336 hours, or 14 days. Accounts that already held an earlier signup-granted trial keep their stored original end date, including the earlier roughly 30-day grants. When a trial ends without paid Plus, the effective plan returns to Free; the same data-preservation and capacity rules apply.
When active-task capacity blocks a new task, the limit screen names the used and allowed counts and puts the free resolution first. It offers completion or archiving when Archive has room, then an eligible one-time trial, then paid Plus.
After a downgrade or trial end, the basic Progress plan setting remains all-time, and the seven-day Progress view and recent Dayprints remain available. The reflection journal returns to its 90-day Free window. Older reflection rows are still included in account export, subject to the export’s stated 37-dataset scope.
What this commitment covers
The useful commitment is present and specific:
- basic progress history uses all-time mode on Free and Plus;
- JSON and CSV account export are enabled on Free and Plus;
- Free reflection browsing covers 90 days, while Plus has no plan window;
- a downgrade changes capacity and the reflection view without deleting existing over-limit tasks, habits, or routines; and
- successful account deletion removes the local auth identity and cascades user-owned rows, rather than acting like a downgrade.
This describes the product’s current plan settings and implemented behaviour. It is not a claim about every future commercial term, nor does it say that every dataset or visual presentation is part of account export.
As with any product promise, publication should follow implemented, verified behaviour. This article should not be promoted until the full history, export, downgrade, and Dayprint boundary have passed their product checks.
Keep the record understandable
Before relying on any productivity product, ask how it treats each kind of history:
- How far back does the basic progress record go?
- How far back can I browse written reflections?
- Can I export without upgrading?
- Which datasets are included or omitted?
- What remains usable when an account is over a lower plan limit?
- What happens when I choose account deletion?
Specific answers are more useful than a broad statement that data is safe. Keep a dated export in a location you control when the record matters to you, and note any product areas that the export does not cover.
Every day leaves a print. The current Free plan lets that basic progress record accumulate and gives you a supported way to take a copy, while Plus is positioned around more capacity and broader reflection access.
Build a progress record you can review and export: use the Today loop, let transparent progress accumulate, and download a dated account archive when it suits you.
