Where Does Dato Store Settings on Mac?
Dato keeps its menu bar calendar settings in the macOS preferences plist, with events themselves in the system Calendar accounts.
Last updated
Dato is a window onto system calendars. The menu bar layout, visible calendars, and display toggles live in its preferences plist under the Soma-zone domain. Events belong to Calendar accounts in macOS.
That split decides the migration. The plist moves the look, account sign ins move the content. Confirm the exact domain in Preferences on your install. Calendars must sync through Internet Accounts before Dato shows anything at all.
Where Dato stores this, by platform
~/Library/Preferences/com.soma-zone.Dato.plist
Layout and visibility toggles in this plist. Confirm the domain on your install first. Events never live here, so pair the copy with account sign ins.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Dato settings to a new Mac?
Copy the plist to the same Preferences path with Dato closed. Layout and calendar visibility travel with it. Events follow the system Calendar accounts, so sign those in separately.
Where are my Dato calendar events?
In the system Calendar app and its accounts, not in Dato. Dato renders whatever calendars macOS syncs. Add the accounts in Internet Accounts first, then toggle visibility inside Dato.
