Where Does Divvy Store Settings?
Divvy keeps window layouts and license in Preferences plists on Mac, with direct and App Store era domains both worth checking.
Last updated
Divvy is proudly single-plist. Window layouts and the license key share one preferences file with no support folder beside it. Migration means copying that file while quit and nothing else.
Two domains cover its history. Direct builds use the longer direct-suffixed name while older App Store builds used the short one. Check both when moving machines, since either may hold the live data. Convergent user reports plus old support mail agree on the pair.
Where Divvy stores this, by platform
~/Library/Preferences/com.mizage.direct.Divvy.plist
Current direct-build settings with layouts and embedded license key. Migrate by copying while quit, with defaults export and import as the command-line alternative.
~/Library/Preferences/com.mizage.Divvy.plist
Older App Store era domain that upgrades can leave populated. Check alongside the direct twin and keep whichever holds current timestamps. Same license-inside pattern.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate Divvy to a new Mac?
Copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.mizage.direct.Divvy.plist and the older com.mizage.Divvy.plist when present, with Divvy quit. Layouts plus the license key live inside. Import and export also run through defaults commands documented by users.
Which Divvy plist is current?
Check both domains. Current direct builds write the direct-suffixed plist while the App Store era used the shorter one. Support correspondence and user writeups converge on checking each, since upgrades can leave either populated.
Where is my Divvy license key?
Inside the plist itself. User writeups confirm the key sits with the settings rather than any separate license file. No support folder backs it, so the plist copy is the whole migration.
