Where Does LimeChat Store Transcripts and Prefs?
Where LimeChat keeps transcripts plus prefs on Mac, and which exact folders must be copied for migration.
Last updated
LimeChat keeps transcripts in a Documents folder with per channel subfolders on Mac. Server logins and options live separately as plist files in Preferences. The two homes split by design rather than accident.
Application Support trees hold no settings despite what migration guides assume. Year boundary bugs once misfiled late December logs under the next year, so check neighbors when days go missing. Copy both homes together for moves. Join histories share the transcript files, so copy Documents with prefs.

Documents transcripts with per channel dated files. Prefs live separately as plists in Preferences. Copy both homes for migration.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move LimeChat to a new Mac?
Copy the Transcripts folder from Documents plus both plist files from Preferences with LimeChat closed. Transcripts hold every logged channel while plists hold servers and options. Keep the app shut until the copies land.
Where are my LimeChat channel logs?
Open the Documents folder and look for the Transcripts directory with channel subfolders inside. Logging must be enabled per network or nothing writes there. File names carry channel, date and server tokens.
