Where Does Solanum Store Timers on Linux?

Where GNOME Solanum keeps timers, history and settings on Linux for backup, reset and moves.

Last updated

Solanum keeps almost everything in dconf: timer presets, session history and window state under its app branch. There is barely a file to copy, which is normal for small GNOME apps on every distro.

Dump the branch for migration; load it back with the app closed. Exact app id can vary by fork, so list dconf to confirm on your machine. Clearing history never touches anything else on any install you own.

Where Solanum stores this, by platform

Linux

Timers and history in dconf under the app branch. Exact id can vary by fork; list dconf to confirm. History clears independently of presets.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Solanum timers?

Copy the dconf branch with dconf dump before resetting. Timer presets travel in settings. Restoring means loading the file back with the app closed.

How do I reset Solanum to defaults?

Quit Solanum and reset its dconf branch, then relaunch. Completed sessions stay in history until cleared. The app recreates defaults on next start.
