Recover something you deleted

Open Log tab → “Recently deleted.” A deleted case stays thirty days; tap or swipe right to restore it. Plans and notes have their own bins with the same window. Only a left swipe or “Empty bin” removes something for good. Settings → Backup & sync → “Recently removed” is a history that also names what sync removed.

Deleting is reversible for thirty days. Permanent deletion is deliberately the least reflexive thing in the app.

1. 1

   Open Log tab → “Recently deleted”

   A deleted case stays for thirty days. Tap a row, or swipe it right, to put it back exactly where it was.

2. 2

   Swipe left only to delete for good

   Swiping left is the only way to remove a case for good. There is no long-press shortcut and no full-swipe, and “Empty bin” is its own control in the header. This is the one screen where undo does not exist, so nothing on it should be reachable by accident.

3. 3

   Restore a plan or a note the same way

   Same thirty-day window, same restore. A deleted plan or note is not gone, it is filed.

4. 4

   If you do not remember deleting it

   Settings → Backup & sync → “Recently removed” is a history, not a fourth bin. It spans notes and plans, it outlives the thirty-day window, and it names sync when sync did the removing. That means “did the app remove that, or did I?” has an answer instead of a shrug.

   A row it cannot decrypt right now says exactly that, and is never drawn as though the content were gone.

5. 5

   After thirty days

   The bin is purged the next time the app starts. If you are clearing out on purpose, export first.

The removal history exists so that a note or a plan never disappears without a record of what removed it.
