Where Does CapyReader Store Feeds on Android?
CapyReader keeps feeds and read state in a private app database on Android, with OPML files as the portable backup format.
Last updated
CapyReader is a local-first RSS reader: subscriptions, read state, and cached articles live in a private database only the app can open. There is no CapyReader account holding a copy.
OPML is the escape hatch. Export regularly to shared storage so feeds survive reinstalls and phone swaps. Article cache can grow large, which is the one thing safe to purge freely. Read state rarely transfers, so expect some re-marking.
Where CapyReader stores this, by platform
CapyReader (private app storage)
Private database with feeds, read state, and cache. No user-browsable path; use OPML export for backups and in-app or system settings for cache clearing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move CapyReader feeds to a new phone?
Use the OPML export in settings and save the file to shared storage or cloud. Import it on the new phone; read state may not transfer, but feeds will.
How do I clear CapyReader cache without losing feeds?
Clear cache from system app settings or inside the app. Feeds and accounts stay; only downloaded article bodies and images need re-fetching.
