Where Does Runestone Store Documents on iPhone?
Where Runestone keeps documents, themes and settings on iPhone for backup and full migration.
Last updated
Runestone splits iPhone state two ways: plain text documents in iCloud Drive or local storage, and themes with editor settings in the app container. The split matches other iOS editors.
Check per document location before migrating; iCloud files follow the account while local ones need hand copies. Themes rebuild fast, so skip them in small backups. Files app shows both sides for manual moves between phones.
Where Runestone stores this, by platform

How do I move Runestone to a new iPhone?
Keep documents in iCloud Drive Runestone and let sync finish, then copy local stragglers through Files. Settings travel with the app container. Both halves matter for a full move.
Are my Runestone documents in iCloud or local?
