Having a problem or a question? We’re here to help.
Where is my data stored? Everything is stored locally on your Mac. There is no cloud, no account, and no server. Your data lives in your Mac’s Application Support folder and never leaves your device.
How do I back up my data? Go to Settings → Data Management → Export Backup. This saves a JSON file to a location you choose. Store it in iCloud Drive, an external drive, or anywhere you like. To restore, use Import Backup from the same section.
How do I move my data to a new Mac? Export a backup on your old Mac, transfer the file to your new Mac (AirDrop, iCloud Drive, or USB), then open Tenets on the new Mac and use Import Backup.
Why isn’t Apple Intelligence working? Apple Intelligence requires macOS 26 or later and a compatible Apple Silicon device. If your device does not meet these requirements, Tenets falls back to manual entry throughout — all features remain available.
The app shows “Kairos” in Notification permissions in System Settings. This is a macOS caching issue from an earlier version of the app. Go to System Settings → Notifications, find the old entry and disable it. Tenets will then request permission fresh under the correct name.
How do I reset the app and start over? Go to Settings → scroll to the bottom → Reset All Data. This permanently deletes everything and returns the app to its initial state.
Can I use Tenets on iPhone or iPad? Tenets is currently macOS only. It is designed for deliberate, focused planning — the kind of work that suits a larger screen and keyboard.
