Where Does Paw Store Projects and Library?
Paw API project files and support library folder on macOS for requests, auth, and environment switching use.
Last updated
Paw keeps API projects as .paw files wherever you save them. Those files bundle requests, auth, and environments in one document. Commit them to share with a team.
The support library holds templates and history in ~/Library/Application Support/Paw. App Store builds nest the same folder inside the sandbox container. Back up .paw files first since the library rebuilds. Keep tokens out of shared repos. Templates in the library speed up new projects. Environments switch hosts without editing requests. Sync .paw files through git carefully.
Where Paw stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/Paw
Templates and history for direct purchase builds. Project .paw files live wherever saved. Copy the folder with Paw closed for migration.
Frequently asked questions
how do i share Paw requests with a team
Save as .paw files anywhere and commit them. The library in Application Support holds templates and history. Project files travel best since they bundle requests with environments.
where is the Paw library for the App Store version
Look in ~/Library/Containers/com.luckymarmot.Paw/Data/Library/Application Support/Paw for the sandbox build. App Store sandboxing moved the library there. Direct purchases use the plain path.
