Export Your Data

Planned Feature — Data export is designed but not yet available in the current app version. This page describes the intended design and will be updated when the feature ships.

Overview

High IQ lets you export your personal data at any time. You can download your stash inventory, order history, consumption sessions, reports, and favorites in standard formats. This is useful for personal record-keeping, migrating data, or simply having a backup of your cannabis tracking history.

What Can You Export

The following data categories are available for export:

Data Category	Contents	Format
Stash	All strains in your stash with quantities, prices, ratings, notes, dispensary info	CSV
Orders	Purchase history with dates, items, amounts, and dispensary details	CSV
Sessions	Consumption logs with dates, strains, methods, dosages, and effect notes	CSV
Reports	AI-generated reports and insights	PDF
Favorites	Bookmarked strain list with names and IDs	CSV
Profile	Account information, preferences, and settings	JSON

How to Export Your Data

Open Profile Settings

From the Dashboard, tap your avatar or profile icon in the top-right corner to open your profile.

Navigate to Data & Privacy

Scroll down and tap Data & Privacy in the settings section.

Tap Export My Data

On the Data & Privacy screen, tap Export My Data. You will see a list of data categories available for export.

Select What to Export

Choose which categories you want to include. You can select individual categories or tap Select All to export everything.

Choose Export Format

Select your preferred format:

CSV — Spreadsheet-compatible format, good for opening in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers
JSON — Structured data format, useful for developers or data analysis tools

Confirm and Download

Tap Export. The app prepares your data and generates a downloadable file. Depending on how much data you have, this may take a few seconds.

Save or Share

Once the export is ready, the iOS share sheet opens. You can:

Save to Files (iCloud Drive, On My iPhone)
Send via AirDrop, Messages, or Email
Save to a cloud service like Dropbox or Google Drive

Export your data periodically as a personal backup. If you ever switch devices or need to reference historical data, having a local copy is invaluable.

Understanding Your Export

CSV Files

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files can be opened in any spreadsheet application. Each row represents one record, and columns represent different data fields. Example stash export structure:

Column	Description
`strain_name`	Name of the strain
`quantity`	Amount in your stash
`unit`	Measurement unit (g, oz)
`purchase_price`	What you paid
`dispensary`	Where you purchased it
`rating`	Your personal rating (1-5)
`date_added`	When you added it to your stash
`notes`	Your personal notes
`high_family`	High Families classification
`thc_percent`	THC percentage
`cbd_percent`	CBD percentage

JSON Files

JSON exports contain the same data in a structured format suitable for programmatic use:

{
  "exported_at": "2026-02-16T12:00:00Z",
  "user": {
    "display_name": "Your Name",
    "account_created": "2025-11-01T00:00:00Z"
  },
  "stash": [
    {
      "strain_name": "Blue Dream",
      "quantity": 3.5,
      "unit": "g",
      "purchase_price": 45.00,
      "rating": 4,
      "high_family": "Create"
    }
  ]
}

Export Limitations

Exports include data as of the moment you trigger the export. Any changes made after the export will not be reflected in the downloaded file.
AI-generated report exports include the final text content but not the real-time streaming animation.
Scan history exports include extracted data but not the original label images (images are never stored).

Using Exported Data

Some common use cases for exported data:

Personal records — Keep a local backup of your cannabis history
Spreadsheet analysis — Open CSV files in Excel or Google Sheets for custom analysis
Tax tracking — Use order and spending data for financial record-keeping where applicable
Sharing with a physician — Provide consumption data to a medical professional in a structured format
Account migration — If you need to recreate your account, exported data helps you restore your history

Exported files may contain personal information including purchase history and consumption patterns. Store them securely and be mindful of who you share them with.

Troubleshooting

Export is taking a long time

Large accounts with extensive order histories may take longer to compile. Keep the app open and wait for the share sheet to appear. If it takes more than 60 seconds, close and retry.

CSV file looks garbled when opened

Make sure you are opening the file with a spreadsheet application (Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets) rather than a plain text editor. If special characters appear incorrectly, ensure your spreadsheet app is set to UTF-8 encoding.

I don't see all my data in the export

Verify that you selected all desired categories before exporting. Each category (stash, orders, sessions, etc.) must be explicitly selected.
