Where Does Peek Store Settings on Linux?
Peek keeps preferences in dconf under com.uploadedlobster.peek, with videos in your chosen folder.
Last updated
Peek stores frame rate, resolution, output format, and hotkeys in dconf rather than a text file. Recordings save to the folder picked in preferences, often Videos or a desktop subfolder. Settings and output never share a location.
Migrate with dconf dump for the peek path. Videos move like normal files. Fresh installs default sensibly, so restore matters mostly for hotkeys and format choices.
Where Peek stores this, by platform
dconf database (com.uploadedlobster.peek)
Preferences only, no text file. Export with dconf dump for migration. Flatpak builds share the same dconf path.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Peek settings?
Dump the dconf path above to a file and load it on the new host. No folder copy is involved. Videos back up separately.
Where are Peek recordings saved?
In the output folder from preferences. Change it per project to keep GIFs sorted. The dconf tree never holds video.
