Where Does Ferdium Store Servers and Settings?
Ferdium user data folders on Windows, macOS and Linux, the recipes subfolder, and migrating from Ferdi.
Last updated
Ferdium follows Electron conventions with its data in the platform userData folder under its own name. Added services, settings and login sessions all live in that one tree, and custom recipes sit in a recipes subfolder beside them.
Migration from Ferdi is a plain folder copy. The two apps share the layout, so the old Ferdi userData contents drop into the Ferdium folder with services intact. Quit both apps first and keep a spare copy until everything signs in.
Where Ferdium stores this, by platform
%appdata%\Ferdium
Services and sessions in one tree, custom recipes in the recipes subfolder. Old Ferdi data lives in a Ferdi sibling folder and copies across directly.
~/Library/Application Support/Ferdium
Same interior as Windows. Use Go to Folder in Finder, and quit Ferdium fully before copying anything in or out.
~/.config/Ferdium
Follows the XDG config home. Snap and AppImage builds may keep their own trees, so check those roots if this folder looks empty.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate from Ferdi to Ferdium?
Quit both apps, then copy the contents of the Ferdi userData folder into the Ferdium one. Services and most sessions carry over. A few services ask for a fresh login as a security check.
Where are Ferdium custom recipes stored?
In the recipes subfolder of the Ferdium data directory. Back it up alongside the rest if you maintain private service recipes, since reinstalls wipe it.
