Where Does electerm Store Bookmarks and Settings?

electerm stores bookmarks and settings in Electron app data per OS. Sync to gist, WebDAV, or cloud instead of hand copying.

Last updated

electerm is an Electron app, so its local data follows per OS app data convention. Bookmarks, sessions, themes, and AI settings persist there. The exact folder name tracks the app id and may vary by install channel (store versus direct download).

Sync beats copies for this app. Built in options push bookmarks to secret gists, WebDAV, custom servers, or electerm cloud. Use folder copies only as a one off migration with the app closed. Quick commands and AI settings sync through the same channels as bookmarks.

Where electerm stores this, by platform

Windows
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\electerm

Bookmarks, sessions, and settings. Folder name follows the app id and may differ for store installs. Copy with the app closed.

macOS
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/electerm

Same Electron userData layout on Mac. Prefer the built in sync for ongoing multi machine use.

Linux
/home/<username>/.config/electerm

Same layout on Linux under home config. Snap and flatpak builds namespace it further, so check the app settings if missing.

How do I move electerm to a new machine?

Copy the app data folder with electerm closed. Sessions and keys travel together. Prefer the sync feature for ongoing use.
