Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Having to recreate everything when switching phones

Describe the solution you'd like
A local backup to file

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any
Cloud backup

Additional context
Backing up and importing from a backup file are very important to me if I actually want to use this app
For now I have to stick to a closed source app for this reason

Thanks for the feature request, I was thinking of some kind of backup system and was anyway planning to add one. Probably just a local backup to a file. Once you have the file you can either put it to a cloud storage provider yourself or transfer it otherwise.
Personally I was also stuck with a closed source app which added more and more ads so I decided to build my own.

Yeah, Export to local file seems to be the best.
I'd transfer it to nextcloud or something myself

Another note
It might be nice to have an option that creates a new backup once the database changes

Example

I add another subscription or change an existing one -> app automatically creates a backup at specified location -> nextcloud app does an auto-upload

That's what an ideal solution looks like to me

@Outlet2048 for the first version I'll add a manual backup and restore option in the settings to a user specified directory.
I created a follow up issue to create automated backups on changes. See #44
