Where Does Espresso Store Snippets and Settings?
Where the Espresso editor keeps projects, snippets and settings on Mac for backup and migration.
Last updated
Espresso splits Mac state two ways: projects wherever you cloned or saved them, and snippets with settings in Application Support. Server profiles for publishing live in the same folder on each Mac.
Copy the support folder with Espresso closed for migration; projects move as plain folders apart. Publishing passwords live in the keychain and need their own move. Reach Library through Go to Folder.
Where Espresso stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/Espresso
Snippets and settings in Application Support with projects cloned elsewhere. Publishing passwords live in the keychain apart. Close the app before copying.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Espresso to a new Mac?
Keep projects where they are and copy the Application Support folder with Espresso closed. Snippets and settings travel with the folder. Repos move as plain folders with remotes intact.
Where are Espresso snippets stored?
Open Espresso preferences and read the snippet library paths. Snippets save as files in support or Documents. The entries always show the live locations after changes.
