Where Does NekoBox Store Profiles and Backups?

NekoBox keeps groups and nodes in-app with tools menu backup export. Subscriptions re-add anywhere.

Last updated

NekoBox stores proxy groups, nodes, and routing in its private app data with no user facing files. Migration runs through the tools menu backup export, which writes a file you carry to the new phone and import the same way.

Subscriptions make most of that optional. Re-adding the same subscription link on a fresh install reproduces every node identically with no file transfer. Keep manual nodes and custom routing in an exported backup since links alone will not recreate them.

Where NekoBox stores this, by platform

Android
In-app profiles + exported backup file (tools menu)

Back up from the tools menu export before wiping and import on the new install. Subscription groups re-add from their links. Uninstalling wipes private profiles, so export manual nodes first.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move NekoBox to a new phone?

Export a backup from the tools menu on the old phone and import it on the new one. Or simply re-add subscription links and update each group. Manual nodes need the backup file since links cannot recreate them.

Do I even need NekoBox backups with subscriptions?

For subscription only setups, no. The links reproduce everything. Backups matter for manual nodes, custom routing, and tweaked settings that live only in the app. Export those before any reinstall.
