Data

Move the data stored in this browser

Employee details, salary component structure and your payslip layout never reach our server — not even with an account. That means they live only in the browser you are using right now. Export them to a file before you switch laptops or clear your browser data, then restore them on the new device.

Worth knowing

Why an account does not cover this

An Adullam Tools account is optional, and what it stores stops at the company profile, logo and invoice number register. Anything identifying an employee is deliberately left out: salary figures, display names, PAN, UAN, ESIC and bank account numbers never leave your browser, and the server has no field to put them in.

There is a price for that. The details you save so you can reproduce the same payslip next month cannot leave that browser. Return the work laptop, clear the cache, or continue on a home machine, and you start from an empty form.

This page closes that gap. Because employee data is kept off the server by design, a file is the only way to move it between devices.

What this browser keeps

The payslip tool keeps the company name, address, logo, CIN, PAN and GSTIN, the employee display name, code, PAN, UAN, ESIC number and bank details, and the earnings and deduction rows. The pay period is deliberately not saved — a stale month reappearing in next month's payslip causes real damage.

The board resolution tool keeps the company name, CIN, registered office and company type, the board list with names and DINs, and the meeting place and time.

Beyond that, only your appearance and secondary currency choices are stored. Calculated results and projections are never saved; they are recomputed from your inputs every time.

Handling the backup file safely

The exported file is unencrypted plain JSON. That is a deliberate choice: you should be able to open it and see exactly what it holds, and you should never lose access years later because of a password scheme we invented.

The trade-off is that handling it is up to you. A file containing employee names and account numbers is personal data. Email or chat leaves copies you cannot recall. Move it over a controlled path — a USB drive, managed company storage, an internal file server — and delete it once the restore is done.

If you only want to hand a colleague the salary structure, turn on the personal-data option. The company details and component structure survive; the values that identify a person do not.

How importing behaves

Choosing a file validates its format first, then shows each item side by side: what is on this device now, and what the file holds. The table states plainly whether an item is new or will be overwritten. Nothing is written to storage until you confirm.

Importing never deletes. Items missing from the file stay exactly as they are on this device. Import several backups in sequence and each one only replaces the items it actually contains.

Appearance and secondary currency are read once when the page loads, so they will not change on screen right after a restore. Use the reload button on the result panel to apply them.

Frequently asked questions

No. The file is assembled in your browser and handed straight to the download. Import works the same way: your browser reads the file you picked and no request leaves the page. You can confirm this in the network tab of your browser's developer tools.

Not today. We could encrypt it in the browser, but then you could no longer inspect what the file holds, and a forgotten password would make it unrecoverable. Instead we offer the personal-data option and clear handling guidance. If the file itself must be protected, use your archiver's password feature or the document security tooling your company already runs.

Yes. The format has nothing to do with the browser or operating system. Export in Chrome and import in Safari or Edge; export on the office PC and restore at home.

No. Only the items present in the file are replaced, and everything else is left alone. You can also untick individual items and restore just the ones you want. If overwriting worries you, use "Export current data" on the import tab to save the present state first.

The logo is stored as the image itself, so it accounts for most of the file size. Browser storage is usually around 5MB, so a large logo can make a restore fail. If that happens, upload a smaller logo in the payslip tool, or move everything except the payslip item first.

Export with the personal-data option turned on. Company details, salary component structure and percentage settings still move across; employee display name, PAN, UAN, ESIC number, bank account and director names and DINs do not. On the new device you only re-enter the people.
