Where Does Fountain Store Downloads and Wallet Data?
Where the Fountain app keeps episode downloads and wallet data on Android and iPhone, and what syncs.
Last updated
Fountain mixes podcasting with a lightning wallet, so data splits three ways. Follows and listening history follow your login. Episode downloads cache privately on the phone. Wallet keys live in secure device storage with a seed backup you must save yourself.
That last part is the one people miss. Reinstalls restore follows but not sats without the seed. Write it down from settings before switching phones. Android may show a Fountain folder under Android data for cache on some builds. iPhone keeps downloads in the app container until removed inside the library.
