This fucking code

491348

is one of those things I somehow always manage to forget before I ever need it, again, and - naturally - is somehow not fucking documented anywhere but this support page, that I’ve ever been able to find.

1. Open Things 3.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Tap General → Diagnostics → Enter Code.
4. Enter the code `491348`
5. Tap Send Things Database.

The file you’re getting is called `Things Database.aar`. We recommend that you save the file into iCloud Drive, or, if you own a Mac, we suggest you select to AirDrop it to your Mac as it is the most secure way of transmitting the data.

If you do not own a Mac, you can only unpack the `.aar` file on your iPhone or iPad. Locate it where you saved it in iCloud Drive and tap it once. That will produce `Things Database.thingsdatabase` which contains the actual database file.

	<p class="fineprint">If you are on iOS 13 or older, the file you’re getting is called Things.sqlite3 and it can be viewed in a separate app as explained below.</p>
