The app uses account-backed saving for permanent records. This website can load the same account records so longer desktop entries and phone-friendly photo workflows can work together.

Section 1 saves the shared app bundle: recipes, Notebook notes, Trading Post listings, Almanac reminders, Outpost records, and notification preferences. Log books, Farm Stand, chores, and contacts are handled in later sections so their detailed app schemas stay intact.

Section 2 saves the Homestead Profile and shared contact book used by emergency plans, livestock records, and Post Box contacts.

Section 3 saves Chores and To-Dos, Farm Stand stands and inventory, and Workshop projects.
