Where Does Sengi Store Local Data?
Sengi desktop apps keep multi-account sessions and caches in per-OS Electron folders, with posts staying on instances.
Last updated
Sengi juggles several fediverse accounts at once, and its local folder mirrors that: session tokens per account, cached timelines per column, plus app preferences. The folder follows Electron conventions per OS.
Multi-account state makes manual migration brittle. Re-adding accounts on the new machine beats copying session files that expire anyway. Clear the folder freely when columns stop updating.
Where Sengi stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Sengi
Per-account sessions, cached columns, and preferences. Re-add accounts after clearing; sessions expire and do not migrate well.
~/Library/Application Support/Sengi
Same role as Windows. Folder name may vary slightly by release; search Application Support with the app quit.
~/.config/Sengi
Same interior folders. Posts stay on instances, so local wipes only cost cache and layout.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reset Sengi without losing my accounts?
Quit Sengi, clear the data folder for your OS, and re-add accounts. Columns and drafts reset to defaults while posts and follows reload.
Where are my Sengi posts actually stored?
They live on the servers (Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey). Local data only caches timelines and sessions, so wipes never cost content.
