Keep App Data Export & Backup: Take Control of Your Workout History
Why Export Your Keep Data?
Keep has accumulated your workout history — running routes, pace, duration, training course completions. This data is your personal digital asset. Regular exports and local backups ensure your training history is never dependent on a single platform.
Even if you're not planning to switch platforms, exporting data periodically for local backup is a smart habit. Platform policies change, phones get lost — having a local copy of your raw FIT files means your data is always safe.
Exporting Keep Data with GarSync
- In GarSync's Account Management, add your Keep account. Log in with your phone number and verification code.
- Once connected, GarSync can read your Keep activity records, including runs, rides, and walks.
- Create a sync task targeting your NAS/SMB local storage — raw FIT files are auto-archived by year and month.
Exported FIT files contain GPS tracks, heart rate, pace, and all sensor data fields, viewable with any FIT-compatible tool on your computer. See our complete NAS backup guide for setup details.
Backup Strategy
- Regular exports: Run a full export monthly or quarterly to keep your local backup in sync.
- NAS auto-backup: Create a NAS-targeted sync task — every new Keep activity auto-archives to your private storage.
- Multiple copies: Keep copies on NAS + computer + external drive, following the 3-2-1 backup rule.
