Where Does Sensei Store Data on Mac?
Sensei keeps monitor layouts and cleaner prefs in standard Mac Library folders, with profiles per machine.
Last updated
Sensei stores settings the usual Mac way across Library folders. Preferences hold monitor layouts and cleaner options. Application Support holds working data. A helper keeps menu stats alive between launches.
Back up prefs plus support data to move the full setup. Caches rebuild on their own. The app never deletes disk content without explicit permission, so cleaner history matters less than monitor layouts.
Where Sensei stores this, by platform
~/Library/Preferences plus ~/Library/Application Support/Sensei (app settings)
Monitor layouts and cleaner prefs in Library Preferences and Support. Helper keeps menu stats live. Back up both paths with Sensei closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Sensei to a new Mac?
Copy the Sensei prefs and support folders to the same paths with the app closed. Monitor layouts and cleaner history travel together. Reopen once to confirm before wiping the old machine.
How do I customize the menu bar stats?
Open the Monitor editor and pick which metrics show in the bar versus the panel. Layouts persist in prefs. Keep the helper running so menu stats stay live.
