Where Does Blinkist Store Library and Downloads?
Blinkist keeps library and progress in your account with downloads cached in a private sandbox per device.
Last updated
Blinkist libraries live server-side. Saved titles, highlights, and subscription status attach to the account. The sandbox holds login session plus downloaded audio and text.
Subscription follows the login across app stores with the usual restore-purchase step. Highlights export from the account, not the phone. Both phones show identical progress after sync.
