Open it from Settings → Account. The card at the top shows your status: Cloud sync enabled when you're signed in, or Local only when your data is on this device only. Crew members see a shorter version of this screen; backups, exports and account deletion are for the business owner.

Signing in

LawnBook works without an account. Signing in lets you back up your data and use your business on more than one device, with your crew and on the web.

  • iPhone, iPad and Mac: tap Sign in with Apple.
  • Android: tap Sign in with Google.

The sign-in rows only appear while you're signed out. You'll also be asked to sign in before starting a subscription.

If the Home screen ever shows Sign in to resume syncing, see Sync & sign-in help.

Cloud sync & backup

The Cloud sync & backup section shows how syncing is going:

  • Status: Syncing…, Online or Offline.
  • Last synced: when this device last finished a sync.
  • Pending changes: changes on this device that haven't been sent yet (only shown when there are some).
  • Sync now: send and receive changes right away. LawnBook also syncs on its own when you open it, every few minutes while it's open, and shortly after you make a change.

Business owners also see the backup rows here:

  • Export full backup: save a complete backup file wherever you like with the share sheet.
  • Backup to iCloud and Restore from iCloud on iPhone, iPad and Mac, or Backup to Google Drive and Restore from Google Drive on Android.
  • Daily auto-backup: back up once a day when you open the app.

See the Backup & restore guide for the details.

LawnBook on the web

Right below Account in Settings you'll find LawnBook on the web, the switch that lets you see your clients, jobs and invoices on a computer at app.lawnbook.app. Only the business owner can turn it on, it needs a signed-in account and a paid plan, and the web is view-only for now. Turning it off signs out every computer that's using it. The LawnBook on the web guide walks through it.

Display period

Display Period controls how far back lists show data: 90 Days, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years or All Time. A shorter period doesn't delete anything; it just keeps long lists quick. Tax and reports always use all of your data.

Crew members

Owners invite and manage workers from More → Crew (see Crew sharing). If you're a worker, your Account screen has:

  • Leave crew: disconnect from this business and clear its data from this device.
  • Sign out: sign out of this account.

Your data

  • Export my data: download a JSON copy of every record. You need to be signed in.
  • Delete all local data: wipe this device and its iCloud sync copy. Your account stays, and signing in again brings your synced data back.
  • Sign out: keep your data on this device and stop cloud sync.

For spreadsheets and accounting software, use More → Financial Export (CSV, QuickBooks, Xero and tax exports).

Delete account

Delete account is in the Danger zone at the bottom. It permanently deletes your account, all data on this device and any data backed up to LawnBook's servers. It can't be undone, so export a backup first if you want a copy.

Subscriptions & cancellations

Subscriptions are billed by the App Store on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and by Google Play on Android. In Settings → Subscription you can Manage Subscription (which opens your store's subscription settings, where you can cancel) or Restore Purchases on a new device. When a subscription ends, paid features lock again and your data stays where it is.
