From export file to readable archive

ProjectVault transforms flat export files into an organised viewer without sending the archive to a remote application server.

  1. 1

    Export

    Export the required project data from your project-management platform as CSV or JSON. For large organisations, exporting one department or Space at a time is often more reliable.

  2. 2

    Select

    Open ProjectVault and choose one or more CSV or JSON files, or a ZIP containing those formats. ProjectVault can combine files selected during the same import.

  3. 3

    Browse

    ProjectVault reconstructs available Spaces, Folders, Lists, tasks, statuses, people, comments, and custom fields into a searchable read-only archive.

  4. 4

    Return

    Imported archives appear in Archive library. Open an earlier archive at any time from the same browser profile, unless its browser storage has been cleared.

Your export file is parsed in your browser and stored in local IndexedDB. No step in this process sends archive content to a DevHexLab or ProjectVault server.

Familiar navigation without the subscription

Archive library

Keep multiple imported archives in one local library. Each later import creates another archive card; selecting several files together creates one combined archive. Tasks sharing an ID during that import are merged, with later values taking precedence.

Workspace hierarchy

Navigate available Spaces, Folders, Lists, and tasks from a clear sidebar reconstructed from the export.

Overview

See task totals, completion percentage, assignee and unassigned counts, overdue tasks, status distribution, and recently created items.

List and Board views

Review tasks in grouped lists or status-based Board columns. In List view, choose whether to show assignees, due dates, and priority for the current session.

Search and filters

Combine text search with status, assignee, tag, space, priority, and due-date comparisons. Save a useful query and reuse it from a saved-search chip in the viewer.

Task details

Inspect the information available in the export, including description, priority, dates, people, comments, tags, attachment links, and custom fields.

Map CSV columns

Match unfamiliar column names to key task fields, such as name, ID, status, space, folder, list, assignees, and due date, before building an archive. Automatic header recognition still applies when you skip mapping.

Portable backups

Export an archive as a portable file and import it into ProjectVault on another browser or device. Transfers are manual, and you may add a password to protect the exported file.

Import summary

After building an archive, review the profile used, rows read, tasks imported, duplicate merges, and any warnings from Archive tools.

Compare snapshots

See added, changed, and missing task counts between two imports that share the same archive name and stable task IDs.

Your previous imports remain easy to find

Every completed import creates an entry in Archive library. Users can open an earlier archive, return to the library, or create another archive without replacing the previous one.

Archives are local to the browser and installation where they were imported. A web version, Chrome extension, and Edge extension each use separate local storage. Archives do not automatically synchronise between browsers or devices.

Private by architecture, not just by promise

ProjectVault processes selected export files inside the browser. Imported archive content is stored in the browser's IndexedDB database and is not sent to Baisil, DevHexLab, or a ProjectVault server.

ProjectVault does not:

  • upload imported archive content to DevHexLab
  • sell, rent, or share archive content
  • use archive content for advertising
  • include analytics or tracking SDKs
  • read browsing history
  • inspect websites the user visits
  • access files the user has not explicitly selected
  • modify the user's original export

ProjectVault does:

  • process explicitly selected CSV, JSON, and ZIP files locally
  • save imported archives in the current browser profile
  • open an attachment or task link only after the user selects it
  • retain an archive until the user deletes it or browser storage is cleared
  • let you export a portable backup, with an optional password, that you control

Supported input formats

Supported input formats and how ProjectVault handles each one
FormatCurrent behaviour
CSVMaps recognised task headers and preserves unknown columns as custom fields.
JSONAccepts a top-level task array or an object containing a `tasks` array.
ZIPSearches the package for CSV and JSON entries. Other files are currently ignored.
.projectvault.zipA portable archive produced by ProjectVault, optionally protected with a password.

The importer recognises common ClickUp task-export columns and offers profile labels for ClickUp, Asana, Trello, Jira, Monday, Notion, and Generic exports. Profile labels and common column recognition help match fields; they are not direct account integrations or a guarantee that every native export is supported.

Clear expectations

  • ProjectVault is a read-only viewer, not a project-management replacement.
  • It can display only information present in the selected export.
  • A standard task CSV does not contain every Doc, Whiteboard, Dashboard, Automation, permission, activity event, or original attachment file.
  • Attachment URLs may expire or require an authorised account.
  • Browser storage can be removed when site data is cleared, the browser profile is removed, or the extension is uninstalled.
  • Users must retain their original export as the authoritative backup.
  • Very large enterprise imports still require planned streaming and SQLite/WASM improvements.
  • Archives do not automatically synchronise across installations, browsers, or devices. A portable backup can be exported and imported manually.
  • Password protection applies to an exported portable backup only. The archive library stored in your browser is not encrypted, including archives imported from a protected backup.
  • Snapshot comparison shows counts against the most recently imported archive with the same name. A missing task may reflect a different export scope rather than deletion.
  • Platform profile labels recognise common column names; they are not native integrations with ClickUp, Asana, Trello, Jira, Monday, or Notion.

Frequently asked questions

Does ProjectVault upload my export?
No. The current application processes explicitly selected files on your device and stores imported archives in the current browser profile. It does not send archive content to DevHexLab or a ProjectVault server.
Does the extension read my browser history or websites?
No. ProjectVault 2.5.0 requests no extension permissions, host permissions, content-script access, or browsing-history access.
Where can I see files I imported previously?
Open Archive library from the bottom-left of the ProjectVault sidebar. Each completed import appears as an archive card. Selecting multiple files during one import produces one combined archive.
Will my archives appear on another computer?
Not automatically. ProjectVault does not synchronise archives between browsers or devices. You can export a portable backup and import it into another installation manually.
Can I move an archive to another computer?
Yes. Export a portable .projectvault.zip file from Archive tools and import it into ProjectVault on the other installation. This is a manual transfer, not automatic synchronisation.
Are all my archives encrypted?
No. Password protection is optional and applies only to an exported portable backup. The archive library stored in your browser is not encrypted by ProjectVault, including archives imported from a password-protected backup.
Can DevHexLab recover my password?
No. Keep your backup password somewhere safe. If you lose it, you can build a new archive from your original source export instead.
Does selecting a platform such as Asana, Jira, or Trello import every export from that service?
No. Profile labels help ProjectVault recognise common task-column names for that platform. The file must still match a supported CSV or JSON structure, and native exports can use structures that require additional conversion.
What happens if I uninstall the extension?
Uninstalling the extension can delete its locally stored archives. Keep the original export in approved storage so it can be imported again.
Is ProjectVault a complete backup?
No. ProjectVault is a viewer for exported information. It cannot preserve content absent from the export, and browser storage must not be treated as the only copy.
Does it work with ClickUp exports?
The initial importer recognises common ClickUp task-export columns. Export contents vary by plan, permissions, selected locations, and export method, so not every ClickUp feature can be reconstructed from a CSV.
Is ProjectVault affiliated with ClickUp?
No. ProjectVault is independent software and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ClickUp.
Is ProjectVault free?
Yes. ProjectVault is free and open source under AGPL-3.0-or-later.
How do I get help?
