Where Does Kasts Store Podcasts and Progress on Linux?
Kasts keeps its episode database under ~/.local/share/kasts, with settings in ~/.config.
Last updated
Kasts stores subscriptions, play positions, and cached art in its data folder under ~/.local/share/kasts. Settings live apart in ~/.config. Artwork and chapter images cache beside the database and rebuild automatically. Audio downloads follow the folder set in preferences.
OPML export carries subscriptions to any app. Positions and queue need the data folder copy. Exact database names shifted across Kasts releases, so copy both trees whole with the app closed.
Where Kasts stores this, by platform
~/.local/share/kasts
Episode database plus artwork cache. Flatpak equivalent is ~/.var/app/org.kde.kasts/data/kasts. Copy while closed.
~/.config/kasts
Preferences and download folder choice. Small folder. Include it so paths and sync accounts reconnect cleanly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Kasts fully?
Copy both data and config trees, plus export OPML as a spare. Restore before first launch on the new machine, then verify queue order.
Where are Kasts downloads?
In the download folder from preferences, defaulting under data. Keep the same path on the new host or relink it before opening episodes.
