Where Does coconutBattery Store History on Mac?
coconutBattery history data, preferences plists and cache on macOS.
Last updated
coconutBattery keeps history under Application Support with preferences in two plists. The menu extra gets its own plist beside the main one. Caches branch off separately.
An old support thread pins a history XML name inside support. Current builds keep the folder with monthly stats and backups. Trust the folder over any single filename.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up coconutBattery?
Copy the support folder plus both plists with the app closed. History and monthly stats travel in support. Restoring means putting all of it back before launch.
How do I fully remove coconutBattery?
The Homebrew cask zap list names every root the app touches. That same enumeration works as a backup checklist. Menu and main app plists stay distinct.
