SpeedKee Guide

Backup and Restore

Save your setup before you experiment.

Before importing large shortcut packs, replacing many shortcuts, or experimenting heavily, make a backup. That gives you a way back if something goes wrong.

Back up your shortcuts

Your shortcut backup protects your personal shortcut list, including your triggers and expansions.

  1. Long-press the right spacebar to open import/export tools.
  2. Choose the shortcut export option.
  3. Save the exported text somewhere you can find again.
  4. Give the backup a name you will recognize later.
Good places include Notes, email, Drive, or a text file you can find later.

About the Android warning

When you export shortcuts, Android may warn that the exported data is leaving the app's protected storage. That does not mean SpeedKee is sending your data anywhere. It means the backup is now outside SpeedKee, so you should store it somewhere you trust.

Restore from a backup

The easiest restore path is clipboard import. Find the backup you saved earlier, copy the backup text, then import it from the clipboard in SpeedKee.

  1. Find your saved backup.
  2. Copy the backup text to the clipboard.
  3. Return to SpeedKee.
  4. Long-press the right spacebar.
  5. Choose Import from clipboard.
  6. Confirm that your shortcuts are back.
If your backup was saved as a file, open it first, copy the backup text, then use Import from clipboard.

Settings backup is different

Settings backup preserves how SpeedKee is configured. Shortcut backup preserves your personal shortcut list. If you are not sure, back up shortcuts first, then settings.

Deep reset

A deep reset is different from restoring a backup. On Android, Clear storage or Clear data can remove SpeedKee's stored setup and personal shortcuts. Use it only after backing up anything you want to keep.

Clear cache is lighter.
Clear storage or Clear data is stronger.

Back up before big changes.
Restore when you need a way back.
