Where Does AsteroidOS Store Data?
AsteroidOS keeps settings and watchfaces in the home directory over SSH, with apps and faces deployed as packages.

AsteroidOS is Linux on the wrist, so storage follows Linux habits. User settings, watchfaces, and app data sit in the home directory, reachable over SSH or USB networking. System partitions hold the OS itself.
Confirm exact paths over SSH on your build, since the young project moves things between releases. Flashing wipes system partitions while home often survives, but never trust that. Copy home to a computer first and reflash without fear.

Frequently asked questions
