Where Does Craft Store Documents?
Craft keeps documents in its cloud workspace with offline device caches, exportable as Markdown or PDF.
Last updated
Craft documents live in cloud workspaces tied to your Craft account, spanning Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Windows. Each app caches recent docs for offline editing and syncs on reconnect. There is no local documents folder to browse in Finder.
Portability comes from exports: Markdown for text fidelity, PDF for sharing, plus TaskPaper for task lists. Daily notes and calendars reference cloud pages, so device copies alone never constitute a backup. Export spaces that matter on a schedule.
Where Craft stores this, by platform
Craft cloud workspace (offline cache in app data)
Exact cache paths may vary by version. Prefer scheduled exports for archives; cache folders are sync artifacts.
Craft cloud workspace (offline cache in app storage)
Same workspace as desktop. Offline edits merge on next connection. Deleting the app clears the cache only.
Craft cloud workspace (offline cache in app data)
Windows build mirrors the same spaces. Export Markdown for repo friendly notes that survive outside Craft.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Craft documents?
Export spaces or pages as Markdown on a schedule and store the files in your own backups. Device caches look complete but restore unreliably.
Can I use Craft fully offline?
Recent documents work offline through the cache and merge later. New devices need one online sync before anything is available offline.
