Where Does CodeRunner Store Documents and Settings?

Where CodeRunner keeps documents, run settings and themes on Mac for backup and full moves.

Last updated

CodeRunner splits Mac state two ways: documents wherever you saved them, and run settings with themes in Application Support. Compilers and runtimes live outside both, installed per machine.

Copy documents plus the support folder with the app closed for migration. Fresh machines need Xcode tools and language runtimes before old scripts run again. Reach Library through Go to Folder in Finder on every Mac.

Where CodeRunner stores this, by platform

macOS
~/Library/Application Support/CodeRunner

Run settings and themes in Application Support with documents saved elsewhere. Install toolchains fresh on new machines. Close the app before copying.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move CodeRunner to a new Mac?

Keep code in iCloud Drive or Documents and let sync finish, then copy the Application Support folder with CodeRunner closed. Documents travel as files, run settings with the folder.

Why do my CodeRunner scripts fail on the new Mac?

Open CodeRunner preferences and read the run settings per language. Compilers resolve from PATH at run time, so new machines need toolchains installed first. The settings name the expected tools.
