OBTUSE WORK / MIGRATION CENTER

Bring the operation in without surrendering the way out.

Version 0.36 includes a local, review-first Migration Center for common CRM, task-board, and financial CSV records. It shows what will be created, holds ambiguous rows, verifies the exact source, and makes repeat imports safe before committing to the workspace.

THE TRANSFER PROMISE

Preview first. Preserve the source. Hold uncertainty. Commit once. Export whenever you choose.

Three practical paths into one owned record graph.

Generic profiles avoid dependence on a vendor-specific export shape. Column mapping and row review make the transfer legible before it becomes durable.

01

Customer contacts

Bring names, organizations, email addresses, phone numbers, notes, and source context into the relationship directory.

02

Work items

Move task-board and service work into owned records with status, priority, assignment, due dates, and customer links.

03

Financial entries

Import historical ledger rows with exact-cent values, dates, references, accounts, and descriptions for reviewed continuity.

01 / BEFORE COMMIT

The preview is the gate.

  • Files stay local and are limited to reviewed UTF-8 CSV inputs up to 25 MB
  • The preview separates ready rows from held rows before anything is written
  • An exact SHA-256 source fingerprint locks the preview to the file being committed
02 / DURING COMMIT

Repeat-safe by design.

  • Deterministic record identifiers prevent repeat imports from multiplying the same source rows
  • Every commit produces a receipt with created, skipped, held, and source counts
03 / AFTER COMMIT

Portability remains reciprocal.

  • Whole-workspace JSON and table-by-table CSV export
  • Integrity-checked SQLite and password-encrypted recovery
  • Credential secrets stay outside readable exports

Move the records. Keep the leverage.

The Migration Center and the export-and-recovery contract are both included in the current Windows preview.
