Where Does Coda Store Docs and Cache?
Where Coda desktop keeps cache on Windows and macOS, while docs live in cloud workspaces. Exact folders are covered below.
Last updated
Coda is doc cloud with a desktop shell. Your workspaces, pages, and packs live in the Coda account. The computer holds login, preferences, and cached thumbnails.
Paths use Coda in the folder name under standard roots. Exact subfolders shift with releases. When a doc spins forever, stale cache is the usual suspect. Clear it, rejoin from the dashboard, and sign back in. Version history stays in cloud regardless of local wipes. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later.
Where Coda Docs stores this, by platform
%appdata%\Coda
Login and thumbnails live here. Clear Cache folders to fix loads while keeping login. Delete the whole folder closed for a full reset and fresh sync.
~/Library/Application Support/Coda
Same layout under Application Support with Coda in the name. Docs stay in cloud workspaces. Use Go to Folder since Library hides by default.
Frequently asked questions
How do I fix Coda stuck on loading?
Clear the Coda cache folders under Roaming or Application Support, then sign in again. Docs, tables, and automations live in your Coda cloud workspaces. Only login and cached thumbnails vanish locally, which rebuild on next doc open.
Does clearing Coda cache delete my docs?
No. Coda streams docs from your workspaces. The desktop wrapper caches covers and login. Deleting cache logs out at worst but never deletes a doc. Reopen from the dashboard after clearing and sign back in.
