Plugin Library

Your data belongs to you. Plugin Library makes it easy to export your complete library information at any time, whether for backup purposes or to use elsewhere.

Your data, your choice

We believe in data portability. You can export your data whenever you want, regardless of your subscription status. There are no restrictions or fees for data export.

What's Included in the Export

Your data export includes:

Plugin list - All plugins in your library with names, vendors, and categories
Personal notes - Any notes you've added to plugins
Custom tags - Your personal organization tags
Sessions - All sessions and their associated data
Account info - Your profile information and preferences

Export Formats

JSON

Complete data in structured JSON format. Best for developers or importing into other tools.

CSV

Spreadsheet-compatible format. Best for viewing in Excel, Google Sheets, or similar apps.

How to Export

Go to Account Settings

Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Settings.

Open the Data tab

In the settings sidebar, click Data.

Choose your export format

Under "Export Data", select either JSON or CSV format.

Download your data

Click Export. The file will be prepared and automatically downloaded to your computer. For large libraries, this may take a few seconds.

Regular backups

We recommend exporting your data periodically as a backup. While we maintain our own backups, having your own copy gives you extra peace of mind.

Understanding the Export Files

CSV limitations
