Your Data. Your Control.
Temporal is built on the principle that digital tools should not hold your data hostage.
The End-User Perspective
Exporting for External Use
Whether it's for tax filing, deep-diving in Excel, or simply peace of mind, Temporal allow you to export your entire database in universal formats like CSV and JSON. We believe that if you can't leave a service with your data, you don't really own it.
Offline Reliability
Because Temporal stores data locally, it works perfectly in "Flight Mode" or areas with zero connectivity. Your transactions are saved instantly without waiting for a server handshake.
Use Case: The Auditor's Flow
"My accountant needs a list of all my investment sells this year." Instead of manually copying data, you can generate a filtered JSON export of your `holding_lots` and send it over in seconds.
The Export Pipeline
JSON Serialization
Our export engine transforms internal SQLite rows into a standardized JSON schema. This schema includes normalized timestamps and UID references, making it easy to parse with any modern programming language (Python, Node.js, etc.).
FileSystem Integration
Temporal uses `expo-sharing` to pass the generated file directly to your device's native sharing sheet. The file is created in a temporary directory and wiped immediately after the share intent is completed.
