Where Does Sparrow Store Wallets?
Sparrow keeps wallets, config and transaction cache in a data folder in home. Paths per OS and backup routine.
Last updated
Sparrow centers on a data folder in home holding wallets, settings and cached transactions. Each wallet keeps keys, labels and server choices together. The block data itself stays on the connected server.
That layout makes moves one copy with the app quit. Restores need the wallet passwords plus seed backups for full recovery. Mixing versions across the copy risks format upgrades, so match releases.
Where Sparrow stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Sparrow\wallets
Wallets, settings and transaction cache below one root. Back up with Sparrow quit. Keep seed words separately; files plus password restore spending while seeds rescue everything.
~/Library/Application Support/Sparrow/wallets
Same interior as Windows with Mac conventions. Labels and server choices travel with the wallets tree. Confirm the active data dir in settings when unsure.
~/.sparrow/wallets
Identical layout on Linux under home. Pair folder backups with seed storage offline. Cache rebuilds from the server while wallets need this tree.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Sparrow?
Copy the whole Sparrow folder with Sparrow quit, especially the wallets tree. Config and labels travel with it. Keep seed words on paper separately, since files alone never restore a lost seed.
Where are my wallets?
In the wallets subfolder as wallet files plus public labels. Private keys encrypt inside those files with the wallet password. Export labels regularly as a second copy, since they carry the readable names.
